time off

taking a block of time off, probably 2 weeks.
monday - friday gardened, rested, went to work.
saturday june 7th started neera cleanse. on day 3 of that now -- going worse than ever before but i think i'm in the easy part. think i will go until weds (5d).
regionals was actually fun, for the first time in a couple years. think this was a result of, rather than despite, the poor result. nothing to lose, doing this because i like it. but came away motivated to succeed at it next year.
top three things to improve -- gymnastics and oly tech, as always, and for the mental game, need to compete during the year. can't go regionals to regionals without a competition, which is what i did this past year. so in the year ahead at least 2 serious competitions.
