Project 2009: June Status Report
At the end of 2008, I posted about wanting 2009 to be about doing new scary things that I'd been scared to do in the past. As part of that, I'm posting a 'status update' at the end of each month. Here are the things I've done for Project 2009 in June:
- Went tandem hang gliding! One of the most exciting/most awesome things I've done in a long time. Planning to start learning to hang glide next year once I have the driving thing learned. :)
- Signed up for driving lessons! I start in a week and a half with classroom sessions, then do in-car lessons from end of July until Octoberish.
- Got over my fear of falling from heights climbing! I had a couple falls on 5.10a routes while I was working on them, and it helped me to get over my fear of falling. I fall fairly regularly now and take more chances on routes that I wouldn't have before. I'm enjoying climbing a lot more now that i'm not being limited by fear anymore.
- Got belay certified at Planet Granite, and climbed there. They do things a bit differently than the place we normally climb (Rock Oasis) so that was a scary thing, but did it! :)
- Filed final set of divorce paperwork. Was hard to do after the last few dealings I'd had with the courts (they do not have polite customer service...), but I managed it and it's done.
- Went to National Anthems, my (sorta) first rave. Was at Forever Young last month, but had to take off early on. This one (last night) we didn't have to take off, and had an awesome wonderful time. Next one later this month likely/hopefully ;)
- See my audiologist/dispenser and get a hearing test done and new earmolds made (yes, still need to do this...)
- Go to all of my driving school classroom sessions and start my in-car lessons!
- Get new clothes for special situations (like climbing) other than my normal khakis and t-shirt.
