Another day in the year, more shitty news.
This year goes right on being its awful self. Yesterday brought ALL the following news: John Glenn is dead, giraffes are considered 'vulnerable' to extinction, life expectancy in the US dropped in 2015 for the first time in decades, and (smaller, closer to home) Zillianaires aren't getting a holiday gift from work this year. Sigh. Morale problems on my team due to stuff that is not my fault is so frustrating.
norwoodbridge points out that 2017 is causally connected to 2016, so there's no point being superstitious about the turn of the year. Sigh. Even so, I'm looking forward to the illusory clean slate and the new calendars.
Random handstand and acro progress lately: learned that I can kick up on blocks and catch myself with no spot, which is a good step and may get me over my hatred of blocks eventually. I flew some good pitch half-twists to foot-to-hand out of lines with my base recently, and I based a one-foot contra f2h this morning. I've had an injured hip, but it's getting a lot better, and I returned to my backbend kickovers this Wednesday with no ill effect. Still thinking through how I want to handle training while LCS is closed, and while I'm traveling over New Year's.
