I'm apparently now the kind of person who goes to the gym three times a week. If only this personality transplant had happened in my 20s I might have a teeny bit of core strength by now. (I feel really good about the progress I'm making everywhere else but I literally cannot do one single sit-up.)
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Our wings are not tired.
It is good to hear that your mom is recovering so well, -t.
Go Jess! I've been a slug after going to the gym regularly for months. Need to get back to it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My exciting news is my office had Humbodt Fog at our weekly happy hour. It was scrumptious. And I got to be super slick for knowing the name.

My exciting news is my office had Humbodt Fog at our weekly happy hour.
Not a lot of things make me wish I worked in an office, but a happy hour with excellent cheese is definitely one of them. Jealous!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That was me when I started Pilates. "Someday I'll be able to do a roll-up without the foot strap."
That day did come. The nice thing about exercise is that slow incremental change will accrue into new competence.

Ugh I dunno—I’ve been lifting weights for nearly two years now and I’m not sure I can lift any more than when I started. I mean, I also have lost 15-20 pounds during that time. But still. Beast mode it ain’t.
