I do not make resolutions for New Year, but visualize and plan things. - Amala Akkineni


Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I've completed the F*ck 2020 virtual race, and I'm getting back into the swing of things as far as exercise challenges. I've signed up for a 200-mile month-long challenge, and also for a GoRuck year-long event called 'Seek Pain', where there is different monthly themes - including a workout, a book to read, a daily ruck component, and additional tasking. The January theme includes sandbag training, a one-mile daily ruck (or a 5-mile penalty), reading and discussing Tribe by Sebastian Junger, and "reach out to and connect with one person you haven't been in contact with [for] too long. Ruck with them, side by side, or virtually (phone call) while rucking".

Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I'm still training mindfulness with my eating patterns, and looking at different food options. I am actively researching live streaming at a zendo as a formal meditative practice. Medical issues with The Old Man continue; there will be some extra time needed for dealing with that. I've also been helping Faye move into her new place and also staying out of the Staging Area while people come and view the landlord's house. I have significantly more stressors than usual.

Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: The Whorse still has a few problems; door locks, wiper motors, and some possible engine problems. She'll be going back to the mechanic's tomorrow. *sigh*

In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: More consolidation of my gear has happened; I'm living like a refugee right now. Good training. *wry grin* Winter Fire School was canceled, and volunteer shifts for the Fire Station are also still canceled.

Base Station/Ol' Number 3: No changes or updates. The Gate House is almost complete, with only the flooring left until The Old Man can move his stuff in. However, there is still no water in or out, and we'll need to get it professionally cleaned once it's completed before move-in day.

Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: No progress. The Old Man and I are back to a two-week quarantine, starting the 31st, because of my recent sore throat as an abundance of caution and because of extended time in a hospital facility. Currently, no symptoms from either of us.
