Canes? We can be friends someday maybe?

I got an unscheduled handstand private this morning after my usual co-student got stuck in traffic. My presses kind of sucked and we tried some new exercises that didn't work for me at all, but then at the end we worked on cane jump-ups and (if the coach is to be believed) I got up under my own power for the first time ever! Still with a spot, and on the low canes (fourteen inches?) but he says he did no work on the last jump or two. Totally unexpected little breakthrough.

I hope I can repeat it... it felt so floaty.

Long day at work, a bit of late acro in the park with Scooper (we hit exactly one good standing hand-to-hand, and some low stuff, and were very affectionate/supportive because we've both been so tired lately), and now to bed. When's the last time I slept for eight hours, anyway?
