Yesterday turned out to be a surprisingly busy day for me. Despite that, it also gave me plenty of time to rest and have enjoyable experiences with some cool people. Here are the major highlights of my day.
I started off with a good breakfast and then a wonderful morning float. This was one of the best floats I’ve ever had. My previous float was only half an hour but it felt longer. This one was an hour, which is how long most of my floats have been. However, it felt like much more than an hour and I enjoyed every minute of it. I felt great while I was in the pod and when I got out, I felt incredibly relaxed and refreshed, like I’d pushed the reset button on myself. That wonderful feeling stayed with me for most of the day and made everything else I did more enjoyable.
My other big adventure, which came early in the evening, started by carpooling with some friends to Amelia Island so we could dance to Crescendo Amelia Big Band. I hadn’t been up there to dance since their previous summer series last year. It was nice to be back and I had fun dancing and listening to their awesome music. After the show, a bunch of us headed out to Boston’s Pizza for some good food. I ordered the steak skewers, which were small bits of steak wrapped in bacon. When I took the first bite, I’m pretty sure time stopped. I knew right then that I had made a good choice and I proceeded to savor the rest of them throughout the remainder of the meal. I also greatly enjoyed the company of my fellow swing dancers. It helped that I was tired enough at that point to find almost everything funny while still being coherent enough to have good conversations. Once we finished at the restaurant, my group carpooled back to where we’d parked our cars, said good night, and headed home for some much-needed rest.
What made last night even better was the fact that I got to sleep in this morning. I got home quite late and went to bed even later, so being able to sleep for a few more hours helped a lot. That being said, even if I had gotten less sleep, I still would have had a wonderful time yesterday and been glad that I did all that cool stuff. It’s nice to have days like this once in a while and I always treasure them when they arrive.
