My Abs are Pathetic!
My personal trainer totally beat my ass into submission last night. I am not quite sore…yet but dear god, I can tell this weekend might suck a little. After I tottered into the door, Wicked Cool Riley remarked, “You look wrecked.” And I was.
But man, did I sleep like a baby last night.
I managed another 465 words yesterday and I intended to write some more once I got home after the gym, but collapsing into bed seemed the more attractive option. Tonight The Inimitable Bex and I are having our writing date at Think Coffee before I head into New Jersey to spend the long weekend with Bear and I am determined to make some serious headway into the fifth chapter, if not finish it. And then I will have to figure out exactly what happens in the next act, but I won’t worry about that now.
As per usual, it looks like rain this weekend. At least Bear and I can take our packing classs if we are weathered out down at the dropzone and now that we are no longer students, there isn’t so much pressure on us to jump every chance we get as we can take as long as we’d like (as long as we stay current) to earn our A licenses. Still, I would like to get mine before summer’s end so I can start flying with other people. It’s rather lonely when you’re skydiving all by your lonesome without anyone to interact with in freefall. A few of my friends at the dropzone have all point-blank told me that they’re waiting for me to get my A so we can start formation diving, which sounds kind of exciting. Laticia is also running a wind tunnel camp that I would love to attend, but unfortunately it takes place during the week and all my other paid time off days are accounted for.
However…
TO ANYONE LIVING IN THE METROPOLITAN AREAS OF NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA, AND WASHINGTON, D.C.
Next weekend is the weekend after my 23rd birthday and of course I will be down skydiving at Cross Keys. This is an open invitation for anyone to join me. You do not have to jump. You may come down and simply hang out with the awesome people there and drink once the sunset load has gone up. However, if you WOULD like to jump, I highly encourage it. Make a reservation at Freefall Adventures for Saturday, July 12th. Bear can drive three people in his car for those who are coming from New York City. The dropzone is only 15 minutes away from Center City, Philadelphia in Williamstown, New Jersey, so I gather it will probably be about an hour and a half drive for those coming from DC.
I would love to see whoever I can! Email me at thegreatmissjj@gmail.com if you have any questions.
And now work. Although it’s rather slow in the office today…
