Sore

So climbing two nights in a row makes for a very sore jo.

But I almost, almost, ALMOST got up my first 5.8 last night. I got my hands on the final holds but I couldn't get my left leg up before my fingers gave out. Feh! Need more stamina. And stronger fingers. Still, I'm happy. I've only been climbing for 3 weeks and I'm making pretty significant progress. I can get up most of the 5.7's easily now. I was hard pressed to get up 5.5's when I started. Of course, I tried a 5.6 right before we left and got utterly defeated. Its difficult to climb when you have no strength left anywhere, to the point where you have to have someone else untie you from the rope.

Life looks better through a cookie

So I just snapped at two of my coworkers who were trying very hard to set up CVS for my sim. In the process, they were merrily deleting files without letting me create a backup first, but still...its not like those files were any further away than the recycle box. *sigh* I'm becoming such an over-protective parent.

After they left, I went stomping down to get some tea. Lady in the shop thought I looked liked I could use some cheering up and gave me a free cookie. Tea and cookie put things into perspective, so I apologised to the coworkers. One of them never realised I was snapping.

Its a good cookie.
