grim23The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope. - Barack Obama
Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: Faye and I completed our GoRuck Challenge 8-mile ruck requirement as an unban night ruck with baseline weight, finishing just before midnight. We took some of the same routes I used for the F*ck 2020 race, and stopped by 16 Free Libraries, using them as land navigation aids. I did find a few books, adding extra weight. Our legs were pretty sore the next day. I'm still mostly keeping up on 3 x 60 pushups and 3 x 15 burpees.
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I'm still meditating daily, and continuing a mindful eating practice. I'm still reading Soul of the Samurai: Modern Translations of Three Works of Zen & Bushido, by Thomas Cleary. I finished The Laws of Medicine, a really well-written and thoughtful book on the way we do and how we should approach medicine as a practitioner - a great Free Library find. I attended another virtual formal zazen metta. I also attended a kink class by Catherine Gross, a great presenter I've heard before, on the Anatomy of Pain, "taking and creating pain from the top, bottom, emotional, psychological and physical perspectives." The Old Man and Faye both have their first vaccination. Haiku!
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: I completed extra CEU online classes on psychotherapy best practices and on maternal mental health, just because. I checked on my credit score; all is well.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: I'm still doing a weekly 3-hour comprehensive EMT refresher online. This week: Airway Management.
Base Station/Ol' Number 3: The Old Man's RV may have a mold problem, and I'm getting professional cleaners to investigate and take care of it this week. I'm also looking at getting septic and water system work done this month.
Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: NASA’s Mars Perseverance Rover is carrying the first-ever interplanetary trackable. Faye and I 'discovered' it and earned the souvenir by finding the trackable code on the calibration section of one of the tracking camera photos sent back to earth. Nerds.
