Finally managed to get #bouldering again this morning. Way to sporadic for my taste currently, but with health and sleep issues, and other stuff getting in the way constantly, I'm proud of every time I manage to make it there... But oof, lost a lot of strength. Expected, but still, yikes.

As I'm still fighting off the first cold of the season 🤧 I've decided to open the tea season, even if the temperature out there is still above 20 degrees most afternoons... And what better mug to start with than this one 😊

I have to say, it makes me extremely happy how much I'm reading currently. Now on a documented streak of 28 days (definitely more though). The phone has also become less of the focus during short or longer breaks, which is amazing. I hope it stays this way […] [Original post on chaos.social]

Despite sleeping like crap currently, I dragged myself to the #bouldering gym this morning, as I had a way too long break already *again*. This year is a lot so far... Anyway. Strength could have been better, but that will come back. The most important thing is that I went and that I climbed.
