Monday night was seriously off kilter:  no poi, no Ceremony.  I have to figure out the best way to manage my time on Monday night.  Since I stay in town late, it makes more sense to go directly to pot for a few hours, then take the T home, then drive back in for Ceremony.  I could stay out of the house all that time, but that would mean bringing multiple changes of clothes, and doesn't really give me any time for relaxing in between events.

You'd think I'd be all awake and refreshed for getting a good night's sleep, but I'm wicked tired today.  It also seems my training course that I'm going to Tampa for is full.  That didn't stop the company from charging me for the course though.  That will get straightened out with a quickness.

Damn!  I filed my state taxes on Saturday, and I have my refund alreadys.  Now that's "with a quickness!"

When I was going to the gym in the LMA right after work on Mondays, I'd have to pack work clothes, workout clothes (if they didn't live in the locker), and club clothes. I'd arrange to meet up for dinner with someone (or grab a clif bar from the REI), and then bike home before 1am so I'd be asleep by 1am. It ended up working out fairly well, but it was a *long* day. Now that I go home after work, the activation energy is much higher, and I don't get to Ceremony very much at all.
The trick that I found, to reduce amount of clothing, was to pick pants to wear to work that I could wear to the club as well, and just bring a new top. But my workplace is pretty casual, I can always get away with black jeans. If I actually want to bring footwear good for dancing, though, that weighs me down.
When I was going out more often, I'd also budget for a cab home at the end of the night if I knew I was going to stay late (and didn't have my bike) - taking the T back from that area is annoying (20mins by bike, over an hour by T).

I'll work on some different plans, but I won't put them into full effect for a few weeks. The reason why will soon be clear in my journal...

Yup :)
It's doable though. If you have the option getting back home for a bit, maybe you could switch off the weeks that you do that.

I'll put something like that into place in the next few weeks. Going out on Mondays is more and more likely with fewer things to do on Wednesdays...
