CCXLVIII: 5.10A

The only interesting thing about my weekend (not counting Friday night) was going rock climbing with my travelling sisters. And even then, RaeRae and I felt like curling up under a blanket with a steaming mug of chai and dozing off. Or eating. I would have loved a platter of her banana chocolate-chip cookies. Mmm...

I feel cheated on chai-less weekends, and if you couldn't tell already, this was one of those weekends. Maybe I'll treat myself to a soy chai latte at CafĂ© Afson during work tomorrow. Maybe. Likely. Yes. They are the best heated beverage I have ever had the pleasure of sipping.

Back to today. Nicky and Numz were spider-monkeys as usual, doing 5.10b-c's. RaeRae and I stuck to 5.9's for the most part, and I think I tried tackling one of my first 5.10a's (it's been such a long time since we last climbed that I don't remember) and almost made it to the top, but then a newly-formed blister on my finger decided to give way and bleed, so RaeRae had to lower me down and graciously got me a bandaid. I climbed one last time after that and then we all decided to call it a day. My fingers felt tender and sore and my arms felt alive again. I'm guessing tomorrow I will be able to welcome my triceps back. Long time no feel, buddies!

I would very much like to have one more day off. Why did the week go by so quickly?
