A list of things and stuff

I prefer to blog about dance and post embarrassing Facebook notes these days, so I forget that lil Shady Street is here waiting for me to give it a little TLC. Some brief updates:

1. I went to the doctor and got X-rays. Final verdict? Fractured radial head. (i.e. fractured elbow). Two places. Takes six weeks to heal but doesn't require a cast. It's still painful, but I've gained back a lot of my range of motion already, which bodes well for the future.

2. It's cold in New York. It's not Chicago cold by any means, and there's been no snow. But it went from jacket weather to do-not-leave-the-house-without-gloves weather overnight, and I have a feeling it will stay that way for a while. As a result, I've been eating copious amounts of soup and drinking wine at home instead of going out during the week.

3. I'm broke. I guess that's not news, but I'm especially broke right now, and all of the holidays coming up are not going to remedy that situation. I am considering spending my mornings tap dancing in the subway.

4. I'm reconsidering grad school (again). I probably shouldn't say more in case I jinx it.

5. I was going to visit Chicago/Milwaukee for Thanksgiving, but due to issues with funds (see #3) and frequent flyer miles, it was not possible. Instead I'm going to the Macy's parade. Wish me luck. I'm never good in large crowds.
