38 and life you got it
Jun. 14th, 2015 03:54 amSo I turned 38 this last week. As a self-rescuing princess type, I brought cake to work and cookies to Esh, and welcomed a new direct report to my group instead of taking the day off as I'd initially planned.
It seems important that I also had a good handstand lesson that night, and a GREAT handstand lesson the next morning -- my straddle jump has improved overnight, thanks to that one lesson I got from a teacher in Las Vegas, and now Pokemon can work with me on the improved version. Then the day after that was an acro/contortion day. I middled my first-ever FULLY successful three-high (successful mount, successful controlled dismount) and also touched both my cheekbones to my shinbones in a pike for the first time in many years. Cramped up an ab, but it was worth it, and my leg wasn't injured later.
All of which is to say, I don't feel decrepit yet. I've had a few weird little health things this year, but they have not been age things, and I'm still strong. The 30s would seem to be good all the way through! Hurray!
