From 0 To 10 Pull-Ups: Day 19

It was nice to read supportive comments after yesterday's post about the ladder method which helped me do the total of 9 pull-ups. Maybe some people can try this in various activities and challenges that they do themselves.

Today was the first day of school for Ausra. But not for me. I quit teaching at National M.K. Ciurlionis School of Art at the end of the last school year because I want to focus more on the work I’m doing online.

So this morning she went to teach and I - to the church to play for the opening of the academic year of the Philology Department of Vilnius University during which I improvised some organ music.

Then I worked on compiling Ausra’s new Pinky and Spiky comic book which I hope to complete by her birthday this September and after that came to meet Ausra for lunch. We then went home and I picked up some fallen apples in the garden and did the ladder of pull-ups: 1-2-3-2-1.

The feeling when doing exercise was different than when I used to do them in the mornings - my body was awake but a little heavier because of lunch. Nevertheless, I finished the ladder a little easier than yesterday.

Then I drew a couple of Pinky and Spiky comic strips and had some coffee with leftover cake from our book club meeting after which went for a walk with Ausra in the woods. We saw several families of ducks swimming in the river and communicating among themselves.

Very nice day!
