still half-asleep - the bad half

ugh. i just woke up, no thanks to my alarm which took a break and abandoned its post. first moment of the day: the boss calling, and i'm not ready to face that yet.

i had The Talk with him yesterday, and he was disappointed. either something in my tone told him there was no room for negotiation, or he's done this before. whichever.

pg and i hit the climbing wall in the evening, and for both of us it was tougher than usual from the get-go with my arms giving out even before my first approach to the overhang. buggrit. at least we made the most of the evening anyway.

after dinner, i chatted with my mum and then sat down for a few hours of solid work, finishing something i'd told the boss i thought would take a day or two, then went to bed so as to have enough energy to make some important phone calls... about now... so i guess that didn't quite work :P

ah, and i feel i should mention here that those three days in the water last week seem to have made a serious difference to my upper back. more because i realized just how perpetually relaxed i leave it and how far i am from keeping it straight. now i'm walking around like a wrestler and at least *feeling* like i'm getting stronger.
