Rather depressing. I wasn't really "up" for this workout, but I knew I had to stick to my training. I was so nonplussed that I didn't think to do more than 6 reps for my right hand. I was of half a mind to let my gf see me try the CoC #2 for the first time, but she had to catch a bus and, clearly, trying it right now would be quixotic. I dreamt last night, though, that I did close the #2, so let's hope my subconscious imaging stays positive!

On the bright side, my gf landed a job and a nice apartment all in about a week last week and I have gotten back on the Chinese-studies horse (primarily learning "four-character proverbs"). I was sucked into my semi-annual "9/11 riddles" vortex last week.
