Better week; wanna get strong again

flexagonOnly two of this weeks' houseguests have come and gone, but I'll take a little moment out anyway. The top line is that I'm pretty well back on kilter. I thought my condo sale had hit another hiccup, but it turned out to be momentary, so all proceeds smoothly there.
Fun times:
Interesting conversation on the crossword construction discord eventually led to my moving my old Harry Potter and Sandman books from the living room bookshelf to the back room; a small, literal re-platforming.
And... I'm wrapping up this month of my coaches being gone, and I want to get stronger again. I got a bit lazy and soft in July -- no, not a lot, but I miss strength work. Just getting back to doing banded chinups most days in my office has been nice, and doesn't really take any time, but I've realized I'd like to do a lot more.
Fun times:
- Brunch with motorcycle-friend turned out to be super fun. He vroomed me out to the middle of nowhere, swearing that there was a good brunch place out there, and... I learned that every little airfield where rich people fly their Cessnas to is the location of a good cafe. Yes! It was an airfield! We chattered about life while watching the baby planes land and take off. I also got to wear a Klim mesh motorcycle jacket that's probably the most badass garment I have ever donned in my life.
- My old acro partner, the Monk, came in on Monday night and we had tons of fun reconnecting and trying some of our old tricks. One of them came right back after just 3 tries even though neither have done it in the meantime and we aren't used to each other anymore. So fun. Also, so very sweaty.
- Superman at the theater with a six-person group (polycule, visiting friend, and apfelsingail) last night was surprisingly feel-good. It's a "no animal left behind" movie -- and for reasons well beyond the squirrel rescue. There's a dog, there are turtles, there are monkeys. They also highlighted the immigrant/refugee aspect of Superman's backstory, which felt very relevant to the present day while also being original canon.
