Good morning, my lovelies. It’s finally Friday. The heat wave continues, as always with the threat of afternoon thunderstorms. Mom has already hung a load of clothes on the line.
I made a point of being active yesterday. I started with a workout. Things were going along smashingly for about 25 minutes, until my territory was invaded by fire ants. The fire ants were chasing a caterpillar, and I was interfering. I was also barefoot, and moved to a different spot after the first bite. Unfortunately, after the second bite, the mood was broken.
Mom had an afternoon doctor appointment. I packed my soft poi and some earbuds and drilled in the shade between their doorways. I think I sweated out a few pounds of fluids. A couple walking in bitched at me. “You’re going to hit someone”, one of them said as they passed. Mind you, I had stopped spinning and moved off the main walk before they were even remotely near me, but I’m a total menace. Gotcha.
A few minutes later, another patient rolled his wheelchair down the walk. He stopped for a bit and told me that my poi skills are fine, but have I considered nunchuks? I replied in the negative. “No? Giiiiirl, you need to git you some nunchuks!”
My man, while I like the way you think, I’m going to have to decline right now.
Mom says we’re going to do some yard work today. I should put some clothes on if that’s the case. Enjoy your Friday, my friends.
About the soft poi, did you make those or buy them online? I think I need a soft set to practice with, so I dont break my nose or something…
I made mine with some fabric and a couple of little beanbags. I just ordered a nice set off Etsy, a shop called “Poi to the World”. She’s been in the biz for a couple of years now. There’s another shop, Sockpoi, out of Russia, that’s up and coming in the last year. Have heard nothing but good stuff about both of them 👍
