(no subject)

dianthus just pointed out to me that I haven't clarified this quarter's schedule. So:

Tuesday at 6:00 I'm taking QiGong, in factoria, with Shoko.
Wednesday 6:00-9:00 is Sword and then Chen, in the I-dist.
Thursday 7:30-9:00 is BaGua, in the I-dist
Friday, 7:00-8:30 is Wushu, in wallingford, though the time might change later this quarter.

Most of my daytime appts are a little more free floating, though who_is_she and I usually do chen on thursday mornings, and lift weights Monday.

And today, once I finish up a few more things around here, I'm going to she if I can fit a short hike in before class.

Twin Falls in January

I am very tired (did too much on too little food, so dinner put me into a stupor)... but a few thoughts from the hike...

I did Twin Falls again. Short but hilly, and I go there a lot, but it's the first time this year. I balance liking to go to new places and liking to come back to places I've been and see them change through the seasons. And of course, Twin Falls has my favorite place to do Taiji of just about anywhere. But really, I went there because I didn't have much time.

Is it all the trees? When I go there, I often feel a little light headed, and oddly pressed in on at first. Too much fresh air all at once? I love the woods there, from the dark cedar woods full of moss covered dead spurs to the stands of white birches in stark contrast along the shore.

I spent a lot of time telling myself that I'd only go as far as the lookout, or as far as the really big old growth cedar, so I'd have time to make it back in time for dinner before class.

Dinner was a luna bar.
