Still trying to sort out stuff. Increased my dosage of antidepressants on the good doctor’s orders, am seeing yet another therapist, and talking to school-people about career options. Imploring those around me for help beats blundering about in the dark, dropping classes and changing majors.

I need help.

OH YEAH.

This is why, when I am sick, I prefer to just sleep through it and not try to do anything: doing things is dangerous.

Climbing today was excellent. I cleaned the 5.7 I was huffing and puffing up yesterday, and was flashing up a harder 7 I couldn’t even start at my peak last year — until I had to come down because my hands were too raw to grip. My skin is still holding me back, but it’s getting nice and callused. Soon I’ll have climbers’ hands.

That is, until I leave for the Bahamas on Wednesday and get nice and pampered. mmmm.

Actually, it was a pretty happy time. I met up with one of the guys in my swing-dancing class, and once there ran into an old high school/violin friend, said hello to a couple of my coworkers, and played with the dogs that constantly roam around the gym. I’m going again tonight, despite my sore limbs and arthritic joints. The skin on my hands is getting stronger and I refuse to let it go soft again.

Other happy news: I passed calculus with a D+ because they bell-curved the marks (otherwise most of the class would have failed, including me). I need a C- to stay in Honours Psych, but I also need stats, which I dropped. So I’m currently reevaluating my major. I’m glad I have calc as a credit though; less money and time wasted.

Even more happy news: Remember Mariposa? The company went out of business — all 150 stores across Canada, bye-bye. When I heard that, I laughed and laughed. Good riddance.

Been working at the gym as much as my delicate fingers will allow. I can do about four hours now before my skin gets too raw and I can’t comfortably hold the rope.
