After Pilates and a trip downtown to get finger printed, I stopped and got a green tea muffin and a coffee from fresh flours. I finished my real estate class, and renewed my license. I am good to go for a couple of more years. I started thinking about which property to sell. I really need to compile this years summary of expenses and income. I have a general idea, but it needs to be put in one place. A good start for this years taxes if I start now. I have been thinking, about how as people age, they think that they have all the abilities that they had when they were younger. My mother and father are good examples. Even though my father was in a walker, and was crazy looking, he thought he could drive a car, and could have sex with a woman. No one would let him drive a car, nor would a woman sleep with him. He needed to realize that. My mother believes that she can drive a car with the same reflexes as she was when she was young, and make good financial decisions. She was not that good a driver when she was young, and I am not sure about her finances, as it seemed like she never really invested in anything. So.she is about the same as she was. Perhaps people have a tendancy to estimate that they can do more than they can. I am going back to school to learn massage. I am a bit old for it, but I think I can do a good job and have a few years of working where people will appreciate what I do. I do think I can not do as much construction as I did when I was young. I need to figure out how not to do much of that. Probably finishing projects and selling would be a good idea. Or just sell without finishing the projects.
I think that it will be useful as a I grow older to have made decisions about how I will live my life now, when I can actually make things work, than to wait, and have someone else have to make the decisions for me because I didn't make them earlier.
Dancing was fun this evening. First I went to Swingit. The weather birds were playing. It is nice to the people there. It was Carol's birthday, and she brought brownies for everyone. I was able to dance with her at the birthday dance. I talked with mandy about costumes. She is going as Elaba ,and that made us talk about broadway musicals. I told her my two costumes, and I will end up being zozo man with a scary mask. Some nice dances with several people. It is fun dancing with both the usual and the completely new dancers I then went over to Century ball room. Joseph was DJ ing, and there was Max and Amanda from the Chorus. I danced with both of them. It nice to do things with chorus members. There was a woman who seemed concerned that a man was talking to her too much, even though she had a wedding ring on. I was trying to figure out who it was, but I didn't really see anyone who was that creepy. Probably she was having an over reaction. I didn't have a wedding ring, because I had worked earlier today. I had a feeling that she was separated or in the process of divorce. Marriage is not ring. I am still married even when I don't wear a ring, it is because I have just about lost it because it doesn't fit so well. I figure I will eventually gain the weight I lost back, but I really don't want to gain it back.
