I had a good hooping session with Rhi, which made up for the workout I didn't get monday and didn't really get tuesday. That makes me feel better, and pleasantly sore ( Read more... )

I had a long, head-scratching conversation with my project manager about the project I'm working on, and came to the shared conclusion that we *think* I'm a lot closer to finishing the next stage than we knew.
