Weekly update
Nov. 6th, 2016 06:16 pmSkating: Yesterday I did the entire Silver forward inside-back outside three turn pattern, down the entire rink on each foot, without a single step down on any of the back threes. HOORAY.
My back spin lesson with BF last week was good. He said I was trying to go immediately from step one to step four in a four-step spin, so we're breaking it down into micro parts. As in, we started on the wall. Then we went to just trying to spin on the right foot with the left leg turned out(!). Maybe I'll get this spin yet.
Humira: Eh. I haven't noticed any difference yet. Maybe I get a third or fourth hour of negligible pain in the first half of the day, some days, but it's still within the usual variation of the last year. The second dose is on Wednesday. *crosses fingers* Today was a lovely day it would've been nice to get out and walk around in, but my thought process for some time has been, "Do I hurt? I'm not walking anywhere. Do I not hurt? Better not walk around or I'll start hurting." It would be nice to break out of that someday.
Music: Meet my new favorite contemporary composer, Norwegian Ola Gjeilo. He composes for choir, piano, and strings. I've currently got his setting of "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" on repeat, but the entire album it comes from is fantastic.
