Well, I clicked the Post button when I meant to click something else, and I thought about just canceling or clicking the Back button, but figured, as long as I'm here, I might as well post.
Work was frustrating today. Lots of waiting to see if something would work. It didn't.
One of the sweaters I'm working on is also frustrating me. It's becoming a Murphy's Law project. I've had to undo and redo so many parts, so many times. And I finally completed all the parts and got ready for blocking, only to discover that I had added two rows more to one sleeve than to the other, and not in a place where it's easily fixed, so I have to completely redo one of the sleeves.
Then I got the hiccups.
*sigh*
So... time to get me focused on something happy and good.
I'm going climbing tonight. I've been climbing pretty well lately, getting better at 5.10A routes, and occasionally attempting a 5.10otherthanA. I'm really tired, though, so I might not challenge myself too much tonight.
Karate is fun. I'm fairly good at kicking, but my arms just won't do what they're supposed to do. Totally the opposite of climbing, where my arms are fine and my legs do their own thing. I'm starting to practice for the gold belt. I'm nowhere near good enough, but now I know the routine (form/kata) I'll have to do to pass the test. I'll also have to break a board with my foot. Nowhere close to that good at kicking.
It's the weekend, and I've got nothing planned. Well, maybe crocheting a sleeve, but no external obligations. I'm also working on a second sweater, which is mohair - a pain to have to undo (it tangles into itself with the fuzzy bits), so I'm being very careful. I started on it when I thought I was done with the crocheting part of the first sweater (only blocking and seams left, which are less or not portable). No pictures yet.
I'm happy with Babette, and the memories of the endless seaming have faded.
I'm losing weight again. I plateaued for a while, then realized how much more I actually had to go to be healthy... not just BMI, but about 5 different ways of measuring, said I had to lose quite a bit of fat. I mostly like the shape I am now, though, so I hope it somehow all comes from my stomach. I'm still in the overweight category according to BMI - have another 12 pounds or so to be at the top of the healthy range.I know I'm more muscular than before, but the weight's not all from that. According to my body fat percentage and this nifty body-checking thing, they all agree - I should lose a minimum of 15 more pounds (of fat, not of muscle). But I'm working out, and trying (not always succeeding) not to eat all day long. Baby steps.
Ok, most of my happy good things start out happy and good and then I talk them down to all being negative. Not a great sign.
Sleep will be good for me. |
