It has already been a full week since Starwood and I don't know where the time went. Today I have been working on Dragon's Breath and I almost have it ready to go. It should be done by tomorrow and I can send it on to be put up on the web. One more thing off my list.
I started my exercises again last week and continued them today. We are back to watching the tai chi video and trying to learn more of the form. Tom and I bickered though, something I really dislike. I was irritable with him for speaking outloud as we followed the video. He was telling himself what the steps of the move were, where his arms should be, how far to step out but I find that distracting because I am concentrating on different aspects of the form than he is. His words spoken outloud next to me tends to redirect my focus to the points that he needs to work on instead of what I need to work on. Finally I told him to just do what he needed to do and I went in another room until he finished that part. Then I watched that bit myself to get what I needed out of it. Usually though we are ok learning this together and help each other remember parts.
I also began to practice using shields again. It used to be a regular part of my morning routine for years. I don't really know why or when I stopped it but it has been many years since I did it. It seems time now to pick it up again and let it become a regular part of my daily hygiene as it were.
It's too hot today. I know it is only 80 degrees here but it is so humid that it is quite unpleasant. Tom and I don't do well when it is this warm. But I know it is 90 degrees in town, another reason for being grateful to live in a forest where it is 10 degrees cooler because of the shade of the trees. We have a room air conditioner though in the bedroom so that Tom can work when it is hot and it makes it easier to sleep or to have sex when the temperatures are higher.
