Things have quieted down for me when it comes to steno association service and personal drama, which also means I don't feel like I have much to write about! I did just start learning pole dance though -- I love learning hard things that frustrate me :) And it's been not unlike learning steno. I learn a couple of basics, get frustrated, but then after practicing and practicing it snaps into place and starts to become second nature. And then add a few more basics. And practice. Lather, rinse, repeat.
