Big round of applause to me. I just did an hour Kung Fu workout without the online or even a scheduled class. I just decided to do it! So yay! Also, I'm missing having the mats and concrete floor at the kwoon to absorb the bag's impact when it settles back to the floor after each hit. It makes things in the dining room shudder...

I'm having trouble getting going today. I got up, felt horrid from not getting a good night's sleep. Prepared the bird for getting up then got her up, went back for a nap. Had a loooong nap where I dreamed I was taking a nap. And during that dream I was dreaming I was taking a nap! It was a very meta dream, but really...

Well the chiropractor did her magic on my back and I feel much better. The pollen seems to be lessening so at least my allergies are calming down. I'm going to try to break the daily nap habit and stay up today, spend some time on the necklace for Mom. Karen's getting better, finally. This cold has really hung on.

A friend wanted to talk...

So I did my first remote Kung Fu session. It was much harder doing it from home and not in the kwoon with the motivation and energy of being there. We did crescent kick combinations for half the class, and duck punch combos for the other half, and now my back is really seized up. I have shooting pains in my lower back to my...

Photographers on SG are sort of the unsung heroes of the piece. Of course we focus on the model, as a living piece of art. But behind it all it is often we forget that a photographer helped a vision come to life, helped a model become comfortable, see angles that are especially good, put energy , light and color all into the pictures. Then...

4. Home on a beach or in the mountains? Hmm, tough one, I love the smell of the beach, but also the quiet of...

I am scratching Phryne's head so much. She is being a very itchy bird right now. She likes to sit on the laptop while I'm on it, but does not like me to type or play anything. She's a complicated bird.

Our friends Amanda and Alan are again coming over to play a few games and share a meal today with us. That will have...

So it's day 14 for Karen being at home, so this is how I'm setting the date. Our president (he's a moron) and some state governors have stated that it's okay to open the country back up to protect our economy, and when asked about the old and vulnerable people, they state that they should be proud to give their lives for the country!!!!! Gods...

Kung Fu last night was difficult. The kwoon was so hot when we got there, and just got warmer. It was only about 85, but I swear it had close to 100% humidity. Nothing evaporated, it just kept accumulating and pooling on the mat at my feet. I was so happy to get outside and get relief when it was over. Tough workout but we...

I'm bored. My routine is broken and I can't seem to get into a new one. Mostly I sleep. I should be doing more around the house, cleaning and laundry and such, but I'm just tired. I miss being able to go out to my daily lunch where I can sit and read. What are you missing?

I hope you all are fairing well right...
