I took today off. I needed a mental health day. I went to Sweet Tomato's with a lot of people from Bookman's (Dani, Nyssa, Nature, his daughter Michaela, Rhys, and Danielle) and Sami. I filled two plates with the cafeteria-style salad stuff, a cup of soup, a bit of pizza, and a brownie. I ate the whole thing. Given a litle more time I probably could've kept eating, actually.
Afterwards, everyone but Danielle and Sami went to Rocks & Ropes with me and Nyssa. We've been going there for about a month now. I'm now regularly climbing "8's," which is fairly challenging. I am definitely still relying on my arms too much, and my hands can't quite keep up - but I'm getting there.
Anyway, Michaela is 11 and adorable; Nature is about seven feet tall and so was able to do some pretty ridiculous climbing. I took pictures on Nyssa's camera and am still pretty pissed at myself for not bringing my own camera.
Dani also wants me to take Yoga classes from her. We'll see how good my sense of balance really is, I guess.
I needed a day like today.
Edit: Big kudos to my boss, who called me up and, basically, that he was glad I took the day off because it meant I was trying to take care of myself. Seems like there weren't many bosses I've had that had that kind of grasp on reality.Labels: Bookman's, climbing, friends, ITP, Nyssa, Sami, work, yoga |
