jianantonicI completed week 2 of the hundred pushups challenge today. My wrist is holding up well enough. Some pain, but more the kind of pain that comes from not using it in two years than the kind of pain that means "stop don't do this bad idea bad idea!" So I'll press forward.
My new computer is nice. I am pleased. I got a not-very-bottom-of-the-line Acer Aspire. It's light and pretty and so far has done all I've asked of it.
I survived training with Ertan this afternoon after more than a month off. He still worked me as though I hadn't missed any time, and I was pleased that I was able to keep up, and even bumped up a few of the weights I've been doing. Huzzah.
I went to Shanon's from there -- it's been too long! Jack was only a little hesitant at first, but he chilled out pretty quickly. It just took him a moment to remember me, I guess. But it was all good from there. He wouldn't take his eyes off me, and he kept giving me flirty grins. Shanon said his separation anxiety has been really horrible lately, and she expected him to scream most of the time she was gone until Brian got home from work to relieve me. I hunkered down for it, and his chin quivered a little when she left, but he never did cry. He started acting like he was gearing up for a tantrum, and I just started singing to him. ("Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby" from O, Brother, Where Art Thou?) He loved it. He slumped his head down on my chest and went to sleep. If I stopped singing, he'd wake up, and when I tried to put him down, he fussed, so I just sang that same song over and over for 20 minutes while I held him until Brian got home. I was proud of myself that I got him to sleep, but most of all it felt really great that he was comfortable enough with me to be okay without his mom. I love that little guy so much! He's a handful, but he's a darling.
I practiced some more on my clarinet when I got home, and now that it's almost dark I'm winding down for the night. I feel great about today.
