An easier week. I'm grateful.
Nov. 19th, 2017 05:47 pmI wasn't oncall for anything at work. I did a lot of work email Sunday (yeah, a week ago) and nothing really came in that I couldn't handle, so I got an entire week of just dealing reasonably with incoming issues. Bopped down to see ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
norwoodbridge on Tuesday evening but came home to clean the house instead of staying overnight, and generally stayed on top of shit.
Sniffles being intermittently still present, I skipped drinking on Friday night and then slept for about 10.5 hours and never really woke up the next day. I did things, and lots of stretching at the gym, but super slowly. In the end I spent the whole evening with takeout and the fireplace, and a book I won't name becauseapfelsingail is getting it for Christmas if it keeps being this amusing.
Without planning to, I also did a sweep through my clothes and books and so-called gift drawer, and ended up taking four big bags of stuff to Goodwill. Sometimes being tired makes me feel unattached, in a good way.This morning brought more wakefulness, though, and I promptly undid part of that decluttering by going to, uh, return a shirt to the Athleta store. Return, I say. And I did return it! I just also poked around Athleta a little bit after that. Which is fine really. I'm going to be wearing this thing all winter with skinny pants and boots -- it's a sweater on the outside and fleece on the inside, and generally is all a girl could desire.
On Friday I tried doing handstand jumps onto blocks and flopping over on a mat, as a way of working up toward canes, and didn't do so well. But today in open studio the same thing went much better, with both tucks and straddles. I think I'm getting the feeling of pushing down on the blocks as I jump, which my coach has been urging me to try to feel. Next week, with two blocks? Who knows?
I'm vastly looking forward to a four-day weekend for Turkey Day. We'll be doing a friendsgiving thing about three blocks from our house -- what can I say, I like to play on easy mode.
