Hooray! Back at work. Just in time to clean up a few things and go home for the weekend. ? Eleya has a bellydance recital tonight so I’m taking the baby over there with me to see the show. I’ll cross my fingers and hope that she’s good so I …

So last night I hadn’t forgotten how to do my last cool motor skill, which was nice. I didn’t have a good technical practice in terms of being disciplined and going through studies. Instead I spent a lot of time listening to some songs and trying to get better at …
