Resolution Update

So far I'm making good on my resolutions. I'm progressing in my piano playing. I'm up to 2 hands, and chords! Lessons are now on Monday nights, so I've got a new teacher. She seems nice enough, and she makes me do the silly clapping exercises. In the last lesson she pulled out the notes-flash-card contraption. It's a piece of plastic with a set of staves (treble and bass clefs) writ upon it. A piece of plastic in the shape of a quarter note hangs on a string around it. She pulls the string to move the note up and down the ledger lines. I say the note aloud. Yes, it's for kids. Yes, I did it (and kinda had fun). Yes, it helped.

Tomorrow after work I'm gonna check out the Master's Swim class by Austin Aquatics club. The swimming 101 class is done and I think I'm gonna join the Master's class for 2-3 days a week. I'm excited. We're still running Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I'd rather swim, so if i have to give up one of them, it'll be the running.

I haven't been sleeping enough, and that's making keeping the second resolution (get in better shape) tougher. I'm not good at napping, and I'm even worse at going to bed at a reasonable time. For some reason I fight going to bed. Once I'm there I'll likely fall asleep quickly, I just can't seem to get into bed. Like now. It's almost 11:30 CST. Despite having slept approximately 4 hours last night, I'm still up. Why? I'm stupid.
