Changed my socks at least once.
Changed my address three times.
Changed my gender at least once.
Went to Galapagos once.
Dad died of cancer once.
Learned to cook better.
Saw a cool dog.
Got a new career.
Was in a highly-dysfunctional relationship.
Had a mental/ emotional breakdown and at one point didn't leave my bed for three months except to get food or use the bathroom.
Saw another cool dog.
Got fat. Might have been due to being sedentary for several years, or maybe it was that bean I ate.
Moved to a small town in what passes for 'the country' in these parts.
Went climbing a grand total of once in the last two years and it was a disaster—I couldn't do an easy mantle on a bolted 5.6 slab and had to bail.
Learned I can no longer do a chin up and can barely do a push up.
Said a tearful goodbye to the days of 11a being my off-the-couch grade.
Thought about learning humility, but decided ignorance and making excuses was better.
Started training to be able to do pushups and chin ups gain.
Thought about the cool dogs I've seen.
Vowed to be able to climb bolted 5.6 slabs again.
Got new socks for Christmas.
Logged into rc.com.
You know, the usual things one does in their 30s. I'm getting close to 40, and I've decided I am on board with the whole mid-life crisis thing. Not the version where you blow all your money on expensive toys, but the sort where you get heavy with thoughts of your misspent youth and then decide to 180 on the direction your life was moving in. I want to climb again this year. There's no gym nearby, but there are several crags, so I'm gonna try to lose some weight and then grind through V0s and 1s until I can move well enough to not injure myself. I don't know if I miss climbing, or if I just miss hanging out at the crag. Maybe both.
