I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you...

ew. All euphemisms, all three of them. The first one is obvs. The second one is perverse. The third is kinda kinky but we'll allow.

Yoga, work, nap

My triceps & upper back are sore from the 1K cuts last night.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Work, foment workplace rebellion, go see H perform in Berkeley

[Drunk Monk]

Glad she healed up enough to tell stories.

Yesterday’s Kung Fu session was weak - still recovering from the 1K cuts on Thursday so all I could do was recite. Then it was a day of chores, housecleaning mostly. 

Today is yoga, grocery shopping & more chores plus KFM work. But I can sleep in. Yay!

[Drunk Monk]

Work & laundry. Longassbossmang meeting.

[Drunk Monk]

Headed to Tiger Claw from svale first thing, then home. I need to take my digital BLS recert class tonight.

[Greg]

Climb things. Look at waterfalls. Maybe take a picture or two.

Good on you. Just remember that just because it’s called ‘forest bathing’ doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep your pants on. You don’t wanna attract those mountain lions (but we’ll bow down to you if you can get a pic … of the lion).

I got 2 telemeets plus work. I did not finish my online BLS recert course so I hope to do some more (it’s very clinical). And I have iaido. Plus I need to cut some pills.

[Greg]

Pants? What is this "pants" you speak of?

[Drunk Monk]

Oh right. You only wear shorts. Even when there’s snow. No, we don’t need pix as proof. We know.

I’m shifting my yoga practice from Friday morning to Wednesday evening. So the day is just work and cutting pills. I know there’s some work strike protest and I’m behind that but I work remotely for small companies so the only one that would notice is me. And im the only one that would feel the hurt. Thst seems pointless. 

I finished my BLS online course. I always think o should score higher than I do because I’ve taken it about 20 times now, every 2 years since I began rock med and 2026 marks year 39. But I pass and that’s all that matters. 

Then tonight i join Rasta Cruz in celebrating Sly. I had planned to go to dinner with Master Piandao from AtLA but he cancelled his trip here so I’m free for Outernational and glad of it.

Right now I am fighting off a cramp in my left front shin. It’s easing up but I’ll be up for a while. It’s not letting me sleep at the moment.

[Drunk Monk]

Kung fu, BLS practical exam with Tara. Maybe dinner, maybe breakfast with her.. gotta cut pills tomorrow.

[Greg]

Recover. Create bigger dent in the couch.

Recover. Create bigger dent in the couch.

A noble cause if ever I heard one.

Tara is still in town. She's over with some high school friends helping out one of their circle who's ADHD and has had a bad turn of events (like little sister committed suicide bad). She's be unable to manage her living space and Tara and another friend are over cleaning it out and making it habitable again. Fortunately, she's willing to accept help. But what Tara has been describing sounds nightmarish. 

We had a good BLS class yesterday and are good for another 2 years. It occurred to me that I've recerted 20x now. 

We all had breaky at Seabreeze, which was delicious and filling as always. 

Now I'm working, mostly KFM stuff but some YMAA. Prepping for the week. 

Now I really gotta cut those pills...

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Rough week, might finally be getting a break on this months long illness. Me & H going walkabout in The City, visiting a friend in hospital and later joining other friends for dinner & socializing.
