Dallas Holladay, DO (she/her)
@dholladay
EM doc by day. EM doc by night... also weekends and holidays. Recovering academic. Working full time plus because my cats have become accustomed to a certain lifestyle. Unapologetically anti-fascist. Calling the PNW home.
Working on a new sequence... have about 20% memorized....
New game could be a problem for the integrity of my TV...
I bought a new shade of purple hair dye last week. As I squeezed it out to apply to my hair today I thought, "this looks really blue." But I decided to trust the process. Anyways, today I learned that tanzanite means violet blue.
Yesterday's practice was very hot and very sweaty, which deeply complicates silks!!
Sometimes you just have to lean back and think "WHY THE FYCK CAN'T I GET MY BODY TO DO THE DAMN THING. WTAF."
While I find working on sequences like this a little boring, I'm pleased how clean this is looking. Next steps: work on a complete hip key...
My shoulder said hard nope to anything with straddle inversions today so I drilled some lesser used skills like the ankle hang. Perhaps one day I will be daring enough to drop into it.
Had a lovely Merica birthday with all these beautiful people.
Ok. Had to take the front frame apart and cut down the height a few inches (it was too tall to allow the PVC roof panels) but it's back together and the side are done. Progress!
Do you remember all the times you opened my blackout curtains while I was sleeping because I certainly do and now it's time for revenge.
Learned a new drop tonight! I love the exhilaration of letting gravity the wheel and trusting the process.
This climb is called the "Big Russian" (it makes sense in aerial vernacular) and if you think it looks hard, that's because it fucking is.
I fully anticipated complete disappointment with my date tonight but they were actually quite pleasant. Give it time. Letting the disappointment steep.
MEET IN A PARK FOR A FIRST DATE. I might have been born at night but it wasn't last night, I think not.
After two weeks off to give my back time to heal, I'm fucking back baby. I had no idea how sad not performing aerial silks had made me. I almost cried tears of joy after class. Learned a new little trick tonight to take double figure eight footlocker to dancer foot locks.
