Excuse the hiatus. I’ve recently moved to a much nicer apartment. Still easy access to the gym, but a much nicer area. Very helpful, seeing as now that we’ve done a marathon the boys and I are considering training for a half iron man. My swimming is my weaker link there, but easy pool access will change that. I’ll also be renewing my climbing membership for further physical sports, the only question is if I go for the cheaper, nearby university gym or the more expensive but much better climbing gym off campus. Parking being inside the building and heated underground is not bad either.
I’ve continued booking therapy, many months after starting. While I initially was skeptical it would help, turns out it’s good for a lot more than you think. You don’t need to be sad to go to therapy, surprise surprise. It helps with everything. Thought patterns. Communication. It also does more than fix, it is able to build on top of a good foundation and make it better. The cost is most definitely worth it.
Outside of that, there’s not a ton that is new. More of the same, which is outstanding. It’s an excellent combination of forwards momentum and time spent enjoying life. There was a time not so long ago in my life that if I had known things would be like this I would have been a lot less stressed. And for that, I am incredibly grateful.
I am also grateful that the dog is growing his fur back after the groomer obliterated him with the rat haircut. He looked like a man who decided a buzz cut was a good look.
