The last six months have been like Andre 3000's new album. It was good but not what I was expecting or what I wanted.

So much of my mental energy is climbing centric, and I was so psyched after Africa to take my strength to the alpine and take down some life long goals. But a nagging finger 🤕 injury will not leave me alone. Recently I finally caved and went to a hand surgeon and got a steroid injection, and a surgery may be near in my future. Not what I had in mind for this fall. I wanted to peak but instead I am barely able to use my right hand. 

In place of climbing, I have filled my time with other pursuits:
▪️Math: I revisited the world of Partial Differential Equations and Analysis for the first time in almost 9 years. The learning curve was steep, but I really feel like my mathematical understanding has been broadened 🧮
▪️Trying new things like swing dancing 🕺and running 🏃‍♂️
▪️Continuing to subsist in the trailer... Round 2 in Marshall has been a bit rough. Some key components of my system needed maintenance this year 👨‍🔧
▪️Trying to keep McCall out of too much trouble 😈. The big man is at war with the bees and their allies.

I wasn't the best to be around because climbing really functions as my main outlet, but luckily for me, I have a great support system including a great partner @paigewit, family and friends 🫶

Some core memories: 
1: @pennelljackie and Jake's Wedding
2: McCall eating a mud wasp 🐝 nest. He couldn't open his eyes fully for a week + 
3: Trailer Trash Bash: My 28th bday party with @jerclimbs @rummeletha and many more! 
4: The Kenough Vibes with @addie.mccurdy and the rest of my math peeps
5: Skiing, maybe the closest thing to unadulterated fun imo
6/7: Learning even my bones are Thique. The hand surgeon literally freaked out when he saw my X-ray 🩻 So he scanned his finger (6) to compare with mine (7) to show me how dense and big my bones are compared to "regular" people 😅
8: Boiling Coors Banquet to thaw my frozen water system in the trailer... Perhaps the worst night in the trailer this szn 🥶
9: Hay bales for insulation
10: Paige coming down to the Marshall for a good weekend... Perhaps the best night in the trailer 🙌
