I'm lightly sunburned on the arms and the face, and I'm sore all over, but going climbing yesterday was worth it. I keep forgetting that rock is a lot harder to climb than the gym walls. After climbing real rock I hurt more in more odd places. (You know you've been climbing real rock when your hip joints hurt.) Despite all that, though, it was a good day. I actually got to the top of the climb I wanted to get to the top of. The quarries look silly all filled in; you can see where there was water once, and there are these giant monoliths sticking out of the dirt in random spots. It's a really nifty place anyway; Hobbit is right in that it would be a good hiking/meandering/exploring spot as well as a good climbing spot.

I also discovered that those silly little labels they stick on fruit don't let light through. I had an apple sticker stuck on my shoulder and now I have a white spot in my sunburn. Hee hee.

On Saturday I spent the morning outdoors, since it was too nice not to, and then went and laid out some of my quilt pattern. The problem is, the table is too short, so I had to start sewing it all together so it wouldn't fall on the floor and get disordered. It's going to be wide enough, hooray! Now I hope I have enough fabric to finish it. It's also going to be somewhat darker overall than I thought, but that's not terrible since it will probably fade in the sun. Sewing machines are a bit like bicycles, in that you sit down and say "Oh, right, I used to know how this worked", and then do it. Or at least I did. I can still sew straight lines, at least.

I wish I still had Advil in my desk drawer. Oh well. I think I'll go get some from the dispensary. That's the good thing about working for a dental school. If you need a toothbrush, or Advil, or something like that, you can get it.
