A decent workout

Back to the gym, after a week away. Carrying heavy objects for adrian_turtle on Sunday and walking around and over Inwood Hill Park on Tuesday doesn't quite make up for not getting to the gym on Monday, but it helped, I think. This was one of those workouts where, partway through, I start thinking "well, I could always stop now, and come back tomorrow"; usually I keep going, as today, and occasionally I stop and don't return the next day.

Addendum, 10:43 p.m. The heel stretches were a bit more difficult this evening; I don't know if this has to do with them being the first time I've done them after a workout, and specifically after doing lots of leg presses and calf lifts.

Shinies

I picked up my latest package from elisem today, including my artists' challenge branch, which I'm torn between wanting to put in easy view from my normal position at my desk, and wanting to keep safe from julian_tiger; the Big Magpie package of Beads of the Month pearls (which I will look at again in better daylight, and spread out and play with and see how it goes with my other beads and whether paired earrings are sensibly doable here); a gorgeous blue dichroic glass pendant, which may push me into wearing a shirt with a collar so I can show it off (it's heavy for me to wear right againt my neck); and my "wishmelon" earrings, all shiny and green.

[I suppose that didn't have to all be one sentence, but it started that way, and went on until I reached the end.]
