6 Word Catch-up

 Too many things have happened the past 2 months. So here are a series of six words.

1. Scuba at Buford Springs. Neon green.





Seriously though. It was one of the most magical, unique, and beautiful things I've ever seen. I wasn't very impressed with the sinkhole (and got wildly eaten up by noseeums) until my buddy, whose name I still don't know, point up towards the entrance; and there was this huge, awe-inspiring ray of neon green light shining through the cavern. I've never seen a color like that -- like a bright neon green sign from the 90s -- anywhere in nature. The second and third photos above were the closest I could find to match the color. It was striking and I can still visual it in my head.

The scuba divers appeared as stark black silhouettes in the light, floating above us; and at the very top of the sinkhole, just a few feet below the water surface, were four fallen trees, criss-crossed over each other, appearing black like the scuba divers. 

Honestly, I just stared at it, hovering in the water about 80 feet down, for minutes. I wanted to stare at it much longer -- in fact, I probably could have stayed there the whole time, since nothing else caught my interest -- but I wanted to be considerate of the other guy, who I know wanted to look around. 

I don't know that I'll ever see anything like it ever again. It's not a thing I would have ever seen had I not gone scuba diving. What else am I missing in life?

2. Moved once. Moved Twice. And again.

3. Meredith's house. Then Bryan's. Not mine. 
(still no furniture)

4. Roommate is annoying. How will do? 

5. You can't have my food, no. 

6. I am a pool person now!

7. Dog-sitter: it's my new career

8. One Disney interview, two Disney interviews

9. 2-hour long writing exercise? Help! 

10. Please hire me, please hire me.

11. Fuck you, landlords. You have mold. 

12. What is a life without anxiety?

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...

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!

Working on my arms-only climb

I've been working on my arms-only climb for a month now and I'm finally making some progress. At first I literally couldn't pull myself up at all; I just hung there. But I've been working on it at home, even if I do nothing else on the pole. I'll just walk up to it, do a few pulls, and then go on my merry way. Yesterday I dropped in on Kate's level 3 class after going to Power Yoga at the Monkey Bar Gym and a really boring, pointless weapons class at karate; and despite having very tired arms, I managed 3 solid pulls up the pole. The most I've gotten is 3 pulls in the past, but these were the first time that they've felt totally controlled with my arms bent almost the entire time. I've felt envious at the other girls in my level 6 class because they've been able to do this climb since Day 1, but the more I watch them the more I realize they're actually using their legs like a straddle climb. So they're not actually doing the move, alt...
