I've been pretty busy in survival mode and not posting much. I had my gym locker broken into as I was working out, and they got my jeans, my wallet, my phone, and my car keys. Fortunately, they didn't get my car, like two other people on the same day. I've been replacing everything and getting my car fixed, and rethinking my OPSEC. I also visited my friend Leslie for a few days in Woodside, CA; I met her this year at Burning Man and she was a great support for me during the difficult parts of 'working for the Man.' Also, tonight I'm hosting a geoevent to celebrate Australia Day! *smile*
Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I did set a baseline for pushups and situps, but not much time in the gym after having my stuff stolen. I actually didn't get much physical activity when I was in CA, and I feel like I've lost a bit of progress with my fitness. I haven't trained for a long time, and I feel that, too.
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: The Five Precepts ceremony will happen in February, and I have to sew my wagessa (a representation of the kesa, the Buddha’s robe, worn by those who have taken the Five Precepts Ceremony). Eating and sleeping mindfully haven't happened consistently in a while. My only progress has been attending a sound meditation at the Zen Temple.
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: My only progress has been attending the CHIP program, an intensive educational program with 18 sessions running over two months that helps with nutrition and lifestyle change, managed by a nutritionist at a local hospital.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: Replacing my EDC gear after the theft, and continuing to work on making more space on Ol' Number 3, has been my only progress. I have Winter Fire School in February, but I need to spend more time at the fire station. I have repacked 'Ol Number 3's disaster bag.
Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: I did get a four-day trip to CA, and I did get to visit two National Park sites and get Junior Ranger badges at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park and Alcatraz Island, but the government shutdown prohibited other possible National Park visits. I didn't get to really visit the Maritime Museum or get much hiking, despite half a dozen really old and close local geocaches. I'll have to come back some other time.
