Still sad and confused and dazed about the loss of my coworkers. It rained all weekend and we never went running. I did go climbing at the gym with Katie on Saturday. Climbing with Katie makes me happy. She is just so enthusiastic and we enjoy each other's company while climbing. I feel like I can be a little bit "mentor-y" with her because I've got my years of climbing experience to share, and yet we climb as equals. I've been climbing a bit harder than her, in part because of my years of climbing experience, and in part because she tweaked a finger tendon and is still recovering, but I dig the experience of climbing with another woman.
Still love climbing with Shawn, too, though. There is something distinctly different about it. Shawn is stronger than I am, but I'm close to his level. Perhaps in the same way that Katie is close to my level. Shawn pushes very hard; when I climb with him I end up climbing harder things that are closer to my limit and there certainly is a satisfaction in that. Sometimes I'm not in the right mental space, and then the pushing of the limits can feel intimidating.
Went to St. Cloud to visit Ross' mom on Sunday. I helped her hang some pictures while Ross went to a motorcycle swap meet; then we had lunch, watched a cool show she had taped. Went out to the farm where she keeps her horse and walked the dogs in the woods. It's fun to watch Toad react to the horses.
