Fitness notes…

I've been remarkably gloomy this week. Too much of a high, with my daughter Elina's birth (her first! [?]), then a low, with her quasi-ICU extended stay in the hospital, followed by the relocation of my wife and Elina to my in-laws' in northern Taiwan, so Betty can "babysit the month" (坐月子). So here I find myself, by myself, all of a sudden, for the first time in a year or more. It hasn't been baaaad, per se, just... sudden and emotionally disorienting. Kind of the opposite of waking up one morning next to a stranger in your bed. Or is it even your bed?

Anyway, while I didn't go to the gym tonight, and haven't gone all week, I finally got done with some serious puttering and did a workout at home just now. God willing, I get to see my adorable, but still strangely taciturn, one-week old daughter tomorrow night. Hooray!
