Just felt like making a post. Nothing really to report. Taekwondo, CrossFit, Lyra, and Cyr are chugging along at my super slow pace. I make enough progress to know I'm not hopeless, but when I watch a video about cyr that's some person complaining that they almost gave up because it took them 12 whole days to learn waltz, it's my pace of learning does get a bit frustrating (It's been 10 weeks, but I haven't gotten past 4 steps.) I'm also slow to gain the strength I need to advance in lyra and CrossFit, but again, I'm slowly gaining it.

I really want to finish my Nightshroud costume from last year, I want to make a Phantom of the Paradise mask, and I have a greyscale workout costume planned for CrossFit. I've been very unmotivated, however, to get working on any of those. I'll finish Sylvie sometime too, but that's a much harder task.

I'm also really letting my music slip. I was already struggling because I was in that "I'm not good enough people want to play with me, so I don't find motivation to practice, so I don't get better" loop that was being a little bit budged by my yearly gig that stopped because of Covid. I got my handpan out today and it was such bliss to play. I don't know why I don't play music as just part of my routine.

I miss people a lot, but I'm not ready for parties yet and in general not really reaching out for social interactions. I do have some online interactions, which is good. I saw my family for the first time since the pandemic began. We tested before hand and didn't mask in the cottage, but we all masked in stores. No one else on the cape really did, though. It was nice the family was on the same page.

I did a random act of kindness by delivering a harp from the Cape to Waltham. It was kind of fun to have had the van to be able to do that.

I totally love cyr, even though I suck at it. It really is everything I thought it would be. I can't wait to learn the basic moves so I can keep it going. I'm hoping the Sunday Esh classes will come back so I can get some lessons. It's been super nice to have the basement space, even if I sometimes almost crash into things. The flooring I got for the driveway got too soft in the heat. I'm hoping that I'll almost have my waltz about the window where the vinyl on the driveway won't be too hot or too cold. I hope I can get good enough (performance level) to justify buying a street wheel.

Consuming a lot of media. Kitties are still cute, fluffy, and grey.
