Kankles

Haven't written in a while! I've been busy moving and spending time w/ Brian, who recently sprained his ankle pretty badly doing flips on the slackline. We haven't been able to do very much because of it! But, we've been playing a lot of Scrabble, watching the Planet Earth series and spending time at the Gym. Can't wait for him to heal up so we can start climbing outside and setting up more Highlines. I've missed it the past couple of weeks! We were meant to head to Yosemite for a week to set up some lines w/ a few friends, but he sprained his ankle only a few days before we were supposed to leave. Bummer! We'll go, just have to reschedule.

Here's a pic of our attempt to get outside, despite his poor swollen "kankle"!

What have I learned today?

I've decided that every day I am going to write down one thing that I have learned...

9/3 - I learned a whole bunch of climbing technique from Brian...I like him :-)
9/4 - I was sent on an errand for work to a lumber yard. I was very confused and out of place, but I learned how to navigate my way through it. It's funny how the unknown freaks us out.
9/5 - I learned not to drink more than one cup of coffee or else my legs will start uncontrollably jittering. I also learned that being upfront isn't as terrifying as I previously thought.

9/6 - I learned that I must be careful doing lemur leaps on a slackline- or else I might slip off and land on my big toe. Ouchie!!

9/7 - I learned how to rig a mid-line over water, and how to be patient while pulling a whole bunch of weight on a silly little trolly on a dirt trail!

9/8 - I learned that some things are really scary, but just because they are scary doesn't mean you HAVE to do them just to overcome the fear. I didn't want to jump off a 30 ft. cliff because I was scared but I also didn't have a huge DESIRE to do it....therefore, I didn't.

9/9 - Today, I learned not to pop a pimple while at work because it will swell up like a balloon! Also, if you're late for work, you're late for work. There isn't much you can do to change it.

9/10 - I've gone off of my anxiety meds, I expected the worst. But I am happier than ever! (went back on due to severe withdrawal symptoms)
9/29 - I learned that a 12 hour day @ work can actually be quite pleasant w/ a game of scrabble and great company!
9/30 - Today I learned that I can carry my boyfriend on my back pretty far! :-P
10/4 - My medication for anxiety blocks my emotions....going to see someone about getting off of them..I want to feel!
10/5 - I love Radioheads album "In Rainbows".
10/6 - I learned that I really like being happy for other people, it's almost as great as being happy for myself.
10/9 - I learned how Fondu is made!
10/10 - I learned that I'm not the only one that gets stressed out.
10/14 - I learned that my dog is actually capable of learning how to walk nicely on a leash.
10/15 - Today I learned how to use Microsoft Excel! (Kinda)
