All's Quiet on the Circus Front

So, it's been an interesting past little bit of time since we've returned from the holiday break. On the first day back in class, I had a private in Trapeze with Jamie and we were focusing on release moves (power moves where you let go of the bar to perform an acrobatic movement and re-catch the bar with either your hands, ankles, or other ways of grabbing the bar).
This was going well until all of a sudden, my hands ripped off of themselves.
To sum it up, all that time working on fabric for the Flying Nut show, meant that my trapeze calluses lost some of their vigor. So the first day back, deciding to do hardcore release-y trapeze....maybe not the best choice.

Conveniently however, I was out of town for the rest of the week, so I had a slight chance to rest my hands. Now, they are almost completely healed, and yesterday I had a trapeze private with Jamie and we worked on my upcoming new trapeze act, and it was fine. I taped my hands so that the healing rips wouldn't un-heal any, and we worked on combining tricks I can do, tricks I can learn to do, and really started forward motion on my "Apologize" trapeze act. Also...a picture of something I thought looked really ugly on me, but apparently it doesn't. There goes my sense of accurate self perception. Picture below:
