"You cannot have perfection and company. To be in company with another person is to be negotiating imperfection every day." - Alain de Botton
Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: The January 'Risk' GoRuck Challenge's book, The Mission the Men and Me by Pete Blaber, and the daily rucks for the rest of the month are progressing. I'm focusing on other fitness goals. I've added five pounds to my baseline ruck weight, and I've also restarted daily pushups. I've attended three Qigong/Tai Chi classes.
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I'm still(!) reading The Art of War by Sun Tzu from my permanent library. I am still engaging in another month of daily meditation. I have, however, finished a Grey Man thriller and a Chuck Klosterman book, and I'm rereading The Te of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff, all picked up at the nightly Free Library rucking.
New word: Deasil means clockwise. I knew that widdershins meant counter-clockwise, but I had forgotten (never learned?) its directional counterpart.
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: I have a dental cleaning this week.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: I completed another Critical Care Transport class, the last class of the series, Bariatric and Pediatric Special Situations. My application for Master Gardener training in the Portland metro area (Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties), with apparently "over 300 applications for a limited number of slots" led to the email,"[w]e regret that we can't offer you a slot for the 2022 metro area OSU Master Gardener training." It's probably for the best, with the global pandemic still going and the time and expense involved. *sigh*
Base Station/Ol' Number 3: The septic system site inspection happened, and now we are awaiting results. Other permits may move forward. The black water tank in the RV was emptied.
Adventure/Doing Stuff: No Progress.
