 Happy New Year!


COVID was not how I wanted to start things off, but every challenge presents new opportunities. I'm working on finding the fine line between pushing myself and not straining myself.  I do find that keeping moving is helping me feel better, but my body very quickly lets me know when to take a sit.


So, I will not be even trying to do 1000 sit ups and push ups, but I will do regressions of the usual 140.  And we'll see how things are tomorrow...

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

I am also taking my leave from the IHC for the year of the Snake.  It's been a very enlightening last 2 years, and I've loved it.  I've learned something from each and every member of the Dragon team that I will cherish forever.

I don't really have a lot to say today, except that it was a pretty good week.  I've been getting much more consistent at doing all of my requirements, especially compared to this time last year, and that feels good.   I managed to make it to open training this last Saturday and had some good progress on the Butterfly Sword form work with Shawn. There was kind of a funny moment when Malinda was asking me about what I was going to do for my Musical Form "Probably just my Butterfly Sword form" Said I. "Oh, then what are you doing for your weapon form?" Said she. "........F*#$" Said I, forgetting that I had signed up for ALL THE THINGS. No matter, I have formulated a backup plan, and have a number of good tracks from which I'm trying to choose.
