New Lyra class session started and... oh, boy. Instant ripped calluses everywhere and bruised hip bones. 😅 It's already WAY better than the first time I attempted this specific class last summer (and Sling was AMAZING for working on spin tolerance) but damn, I need to work on my grip strength.

"I'm gonna take a session off" [from circus/aerial] somehow turned into signing up for Lyra classes for the rest of the summer. 🤷😆
(Tbf though, I did just finally get back to full strength after a bit of a break and I want to keep this momentum going.]

Attended downtown Kirkland’s cute little Pride event today, and the performances were super fun. Highly skilled roller skaters, a handstand artist, and one super colorful performer singing “It’s raining THEM” (a non-binary twist on the old regular). ❤️

Way to represent, Kirkland! The staging line for the No Kings march is MILES long at this point. I am pleasantly surprised.

I didn't always approve of everything this administration did, but dang, I miss having a president who actually gave a F and tried to conduct himself in a thoughtful, respectful manner.

I met a new friend in aerial class who was excited to hear about Catwalk Rebirth on the 19th.
(I hope to see all of my old local Merc buds there! Might be a fun excuse for a visit for the out-of-towners…)

I accidentally said “backshot” in class when I was talking about being a stealth archer rogue in Oblivion and performing a backstab with a bow, and I’m pretty sure I do NOT want to look up the meaning online after the students erupted in giggles for almost a full 10 minutes.
Getting old is “fun”. 😆

Trying to get more into high impact activities at the age of 47 feels like a precarious Jenga game of "how many body parts can be in a vaguely pre-injurous state before something goes REALLY awry". 😬
Been dealing with some kind of tennis elbow(?) thing from hyperextending HARD during aerial stuff.

In case it wasn’t obvious, I am a summer “intern” 🤣 working on some @stay-forever-home.com stuff. The project is awesome and team is awesome.
There is real magic in this game.
I told the founders that I want to work on something that makes people FEEL and it’s definitely this.

Me getting carded while buying locally made hard cider at San Juan Island Sea Salt in Friday Harbor: <points at white streak in hair> "This probably gives you a clue as to my age, haha."
Store owner: "Actually, it was the NIN Pretty Hate Machine t-shirt that you're wearing that gave THAT away."

Just got Ziply fiber and haven’t been able to get wifi working, even after 2h on the phone with their overseas techs.
On a whim later, I forced my router to spoof my Apple TV’s MAC. Now everything works. 😠
(Exactly how long does the ONT need to be unplugged to release data?! 2 min did not cut it.)

Yeah, no, back to back aerial days after 2 months off was not the smartest thing I’ve ever done.
I’ll be happy if I can move at ALL tomorrow. 😬
Shoulders gave out during a pullover mount, landing me flat on my back on the ground (thankfully, there was a thick crash pad)- GRACEFUL (that’s me 😂).
