Today’s adventure will be a blog post. Of the type that the short version is one of the longest posts ever 😂 For your entertainment:
“Use your imagination” version (originally titled ‘short version’ but that’s such a lie I have to update ;)
- good - more sleep than last night
- bad - not enough and woken at 6:30 by my mum who was frantic cause Sasha was lost
- good - Sash came back on my first call
- bad - wide awake
- good - means I get to take sunrise pics (stunning but way too early!), possibly handstand pics, AND early am swim.
- neutral - Doug (uncle) had a similar idea
- bad - water wasn’t the stunning glass-flat it can be
- good - it was still *very* quiet making for good handstand practice conditions
- bad - video died on like the 2nd effort and wasn’t exactly quality videography
- good - I acknowledged that I really wanted a good sunrise pic of handstands and Doug is an incredible photographer who actually likes a challenge lol combined w being v patient. So willing to play this game.
- bad - wrong clothes so I’m afraid that even if he got an *amazing* shot, it still won’t look good :(
- good - best stand ever! And called it on a good note.
- bad - it was *after* my phone died ;-P
I was SO excited by this 😂 PC: Doug Hern |
- neutral - immediately after I was done, the lake went mirror-flat. Sun was up by then though.
- good - this made for amazing swimming, esp as I’m not a strong swimmer
- bad - I’d forgotten goggles and can’t swim properly without them cause contact lens.
- good - reassured Sasha who’s okay w me going in the water as long as I get right back out but panics if I’m swimming or treading water or being eaten by a giant donut
It took Sasha a while to believe the donut wasn't going to hurt me. |
- bad - It was not yet 9am and I was ready for a nap ;)
- good - cousin wanted to go waterskiing, which means I *also* would get to go waterskiing
- bad - I am not good at waterskiing 😂 Last year was the first time since I was a tween that I tried it, and it took many many many (copy and paste) attempts to get up. And I loved it. But then I was sore for weeks.
- also bad - somewhat concerned that waterskiing muscles might overlap significantly with handstand muscles which had already delivered their contractual hours today and really this week ;)
- good turns out they’re a LOT stronger than last time, as is my body awareness and ability to coach myself through new skills I know nothing about ;)
- bad - I self coach OUT LOUD; while nobody could hear me, I can only imagine what my spotter in the boat must’ve thought ;). Accelerating rapidly toward my crazy old lady title ;)
- good - it worked?!?! Up on second time, stayed up in and out of wake, and didn’t let go till I got back. Soooo excited and proud of myself.
- neutral - huge thunderstorm after lunch.
- bad - I was alone in the backup cottage so I could put on dry clothes (extra sleeping places really - when they built new, they kept the old and just moved it over) when the storm hit. All entertainment (my books, phone, etc) in the main cottage.
- good - I LOVE a thunderstorm in the woods. In general really but especially there.
- neutral - it lulled me into a nap of coma level depth
- bad - I slept through milkshakes
- good - I felt human again afterwards AND all storm repair had already been completed by those who didn’t storm nap (3 or 4 of us, incl those who invited us up, got in great naps).
- good Chris just arrived :)
Rest of the day admittedly neutral, but cottage neutral with is normal-life excellent. I will likely sleep very well tonight 😂.
