Nightmares

It feels weird not writing about this on LiveJournal, but there's kind of a no going back thing happening. I just wish there was a better place than Blogger to do journaling these days.

Anyway, yesterday (two nights ago), I had a whole night of nightmares. It was one after the other every 45 minutes or so. A lot of them had to do with my room having multiple ghosts in it, which I confirmed when one of them threw my stuffed tiger back at me when I asked it to (that turned out to be a benevolent ghost, at least).

But the one that really stays with me was one in which we were in a kitchen and a group of us were trying to take a selfie. A guy was trying to use his phone to take the photo, but it kept making a tick noise like a metronome, and the screen kept sliding to the side half and inch and going back, like someone was swiping it or it was broken. Then it took a bunch of photos and one was of the other direction. The guy holding the phone said, "It took a photo of the corner. And Howard's in it."

We looked at the kitchen wall, and in the corner in the dark was a really messed up Howard from Big Bang Theory. He was standing there, staring at us. It felt really scary.

Then I woke up.

Running update - 2 miles achieved!

The Monkey Bar Gym has been closed during the week because of Summerfest, which means all my krav and boxing classes have been cancelled. My muay thai instructor and I talked about doing some outdoor exercises in its place; but it was nearly 100 degrees with full sun and incredibly high humidity these past 3 days, so that was out. In fact, I went for a walk on my lunch break on Friday afternoon and felt sick for the rest of the day from the heat. I was hoping then to get some hiking, running, or rocking climbing in on Saturday or Sunday, and to make it to a krav or hot yoga class on Sunday; but none of these things worked out. The heat prevented me from being able to do any outdoor activities, and no one was able to go rock climbing with me. Saturday I went up to Baraboo with Jennifer Koss to do some hiking and swimming at Pewit's Nest, but because it was so hot, we didn't end up doing a lot of the former. But I got home so late and was so exhausted from the heat (also, my shou...

Little writing win at work

I did something I'm really proud of today. At work, I had to break down the science behind the sound, light, and fog of an engine I'm short, one sentence blurbs at a sixth grade reading level. And I also had to write a graphic about rocket engine test fires.  Do you know how complicated those things are? They're literal rocket science. Everything else I've talked about so far has been pretty easy to distill down into simple talking points, but not those things. I spent all day today and half of yesterday researching them, and I could not wrap my head around them. Nothing online broke it down or explained the terminology, and different sources explained it differently, meaning that I had a bunch of unreliable sources. It's not this often that I feel unintelligent, but this did.  Despite this, I somehow managed to break it down and come up with a sentence describing each thing that I thought was pretty good. I shared it with Cole, our resident subject matter expert on...

Pole update: layback achieved!

I finally got my cross-ankle layback tonight! I wore my new Wonder Woman shorts so I'd have more grip in my thighs and followed the advice from a blog I recently read, which said to go into it from a reverse Superwoman. It worked! I was able to get it every time except for once, when I think it wasn't close enough to my crotch. And then because I was able to get the layback, I was able to work on bow and arrow and got it on the first try. After that, it was pretty easy to keep doing it (especially since my leg grip was so good). Also, my flag is looking better. I can raise both legs now pretty horizontally and hold them there for a while on both sides.  BOOYAKASHA!
