I think my body is protesting again. I've kayaked, played wiffleball, done yoga and pilates, and gone climbing all in the last six days. Every single one of my muscles has been sore at some point this week, and I think I grew some new muscles just so they could be sore this evening. Also, I am a giant walking bruise. Luckily I look good in blue and black.
Climbing was really good tonight, actually. I'm climbing 5.9s (which is like a CA 5.10b/c), and while my endurance and strength are STILL lacking, my technique doesn't seem to be getting any worse. They're opening up a new gym in New Haven at some point this summer (this month...?), and I think once that's open I'll be able to go a lot more often. Not having to drive twenty minutes each way will be nice, and will make a huge difference in how often I can make time to go. http://www.climbthecliffs.com/ (there are some awesome pictures if you click on the News link)
After three weeks of living in someone else's room, I have finally moved into my own room. It's soooo good to have my own space again. Now, if only I could actually unpack... Only three more weeks until we move into the new house... Surely I can continue to live without 98% of my belongings, and without a real sense of home, until then (even though I've been living like this since I went on vacation June 9th). Right? Right???
I went to the DMV this evening to attempt to get a CT driver's license. Their system went down about three minutes before I got there. *sigh* I knew I'd have to go back tomorrow anyway, because I need to get my car tested for emissions before I can register it, but I was kind of hoping to get the licensing out of the way first. The earlier I get that done, the earlier I can get into line to register the car. And hopefully the line won't be too long tomorrow. I'd like to have time to go into lab tomorrow to start ANOTHER western before...
STARDUST! Okay, so I'm a really, really new convert to Neil Gaiman. I read Stardust, like, four months ago. And I still haven't finished Neverwhere. But I absolutely adored Stardust, and I'll probably love the rest of his books as well. And the movie trailer for Stardust looks amazing. A bunch of us are going to see it tomorrow, and then will probably have some sort of drunken revelry afterwards. I am very much looking forward to tomorrow.
After the DMV, that is.
Also, I need new clothes.
