A Gymnastics Anecdote

Hello, Candies!

On Wednesday last week, I was videochatting with a friend of mine. We were both really into gymnastics back in the day when I wasn't a stiff old woman, so we decided to try some of it old tricks. Needless to say, we sucked. Really bad. It was embarrassing. Anyway, we went about our days until this Wednesday, when we chatted again. Somehow, this friend of mine had managed to regain in a week what took her months to learn the first time and hadn't done in a year or so. I, on the other hand, was... well... a stiff old woman.

It
Was
Embarrassing.

That day, over videochat, she coached me back into a half respectable shape.
The next day, I was sore. And I had CAASPP testing, which is another story entirely.
However, now it's like a competition. By next week, who will come out on top? Who will out-gymnasticate?
Hopefully, the gymnastiqueen will be me.

Wish me luck!

P.S. your can probably deduce from the lack of signature that I forgot to write this post until 10:15 pm when I was about to go to sleep, and that this was all typed in my phone.

*yawn*

Casper Time!

     Hello, humans! It is I, Casper, and I have returned to this site again to update you on the state of affairs when it comes to Nandy the Candy with an impartial and sometimes snarky perspective on things. Let's get started!

     What better to start with than school, the place to which Nandy disappears at an ungodly hour and from which she returns half a day later! She seems to have some sort of testing going on at school which makes her even more tired than usual, but on the whole, things seem okay on that front.

     Next order of business; the house. The tall man left on Sunday and hasn't returned yet, but I'm hopeful that today's the day. I'm not worried, though. Although the house seems more melancholy than before, I know he'll be back. Until then, I'll have to be the man of the house!
     The nice lady seems to be doing well. She still feeds me, so yay!
     Nandy, as previously mentioned, is doing well. Last Sunday, she added another year of experience to her repertoire, but not much really changed. She has, for the last two days, retired to the upstairs about an hour earlier than she had before. As if she didn't sleep enough before! I shouldn't be judging her, though. I mean, I sleep like 2/3 of the day. Speaking of sleep, I just realized it is an hour past the time when Nandy should have gone upstairs. I should probably head up, too.

     Next time I do this, I should probably have Nandy make me a signature. Until then, you'll have to make do with this one.
