Fitness #

I'm going to put 'climbing' in here under fitness. I've been getting more time on the wall recently, even if I'm just there for a quick 30 minute session to look at one route. Overall I feel like I'm improving quite a bit. I'm still climbing the same level, but I'm a lot more comfortable, and it takes a lot less to learn the new routes than it used to. At this point the remaining routes at my level generally have a single element that I'm just not able to handle, either I can't hold on to the start, or I don't have the single-leg strength to push to the next hold from a position. Stuff to work at for sure.
I've been working a lot on shoring up my weakness in my grip, but that's no longer my limiter. I'll have to start looking at elements that can help with strength on a single leg next.
Beyond that I'm still following the 5/3/1 program at the gym, and thinking really hard about running.

Dogs #

I don't know what to say here. Pepper is extremely reactive still, although he's getting better. It's just that his start point was so extreme that even improvements look like they're still bad. We'll keep working at it and eventually get him there. Dilly is learning, which is good, and shedding, which is bad. Jasmine is likely suffering from some early canine dementia. We're not going to have her checked, because there's nothing that can be done about it, but it's something we need to work around a bit - making sure we can Accommodated her limitations without overcompensating and letting her run the house.

Rental #

This week I hope to get both coats of paint in the kitchen!

Reading #

I'm 'reading' Dopamine Nation on audiobook. Fascinating stuff. I kind of want to read the physical version now too, as I tend to absorb different things through different ingestion mechanisms.

Projects #

Big project is the Risen men's group at church. Things are coming together excitingly! I was also hoping to get lmstudio working with fabric, but that's not come along. I think possibly because fabric is in WSL, and LMStudio is over windows? Anyways, I've put that on hold for now.
