Good morning, Readers!

I can tell that I've been away from martial arts far too long. Tuesday night my computer did what it does best these days and bricked, making me very late for my Zoom kung fu class. I almost lost my mind while I was rebooting the thing. While I had quite the temper in my younger years, it's been quite a while since I've been quite that stroppy.
I very nearly defenestrated my computer.
You see, it was once the case that I could take out my frustrations by punching and kicking things for an hour, and losing myself in learning cool new techniques to apply for another hour twice weekly at least. Governmental incompetence and selfish fuckers have ensured that I haven't been able to attend my martial arts classes for months on end.
It's been months too long. My shoulders are hovering around my ears these days, and I have no constructive way to deal with all the energy and vexation.

I'm trying to save up for a heavy bag and stand that I can have outside so that when it warms up, I'll at least be able to punch and kick for a little bit. That should help.
In the meantime, the Zoom classes are everything to me. I need them. And it was a sign just how badly I do on Tuesday, when the prospect of not being able to attend made me lose my damned mind.
I'm dreaming of returning to class. And I'm also dreaming of having my own house, so I can set up a room to be a martial arts haven for me for when I can't go to class. That last one feels like it will only ever be a dream, but I'm dreaming all the same.
Anyway, there is no real point to this blog post except for maybe this - WEAR YOUR FUCKING MASKS AND (if it's safe for you) GET THE FUCKING VACCINE. I NEED TO GO BACK TO TRAINING OR I WILL LOSE MY DAMNED MIND!
Ahem...
Ciao!
