South Pacific Stress

When one thinks of Hawaii, the last thing you tend to be is stressed. But for me, right now, the thought of Hawaii, Tahiti, and all Polynesian islands in between had me awake at 5 am this morning - stressing.

Aloha Polynesia is this Sunday, but it's not the actual show itself I'm worried about. We had a great practice last night. I feel confident in my dancing, and as an entire group, everything meshed together. It's all the little, and big things I need for the show that are all of a sudden stressing me.

I thought I would be bringing my dress home to hem last night. It's not ready so I have to drive back out to Burnaby tonight and pick it up and find time to hem it somewhere between tonight and tomorrow night. Then I found out I had to make two of my leis. I was working on my plumeria lei last night in between dances, and sometime between today and tomorrow in addition to hemming a dress, I have to put to together my yaka leaves. I know I'm still missing a third lei so I'm anticipating having to find time to deal with that too.

I can't complain too much because my teacher is amazing and makes all our costumes, and puts on an entire show. I just wish I had a little more than 24 hours to get all this done.

At least it's Friday! And next weekend is a long weekend!
