kittydesadeToday was better. Not completely, but definitely there was less screaming over issues. I emailed back and forth with the one Aunt and it does sound like she was trying to avoid drama with the most dramatic Aunt, so that's good. I did not go digging for more details on the shitstorm of authors. I woke up after about 5.5 hours of sleep, which was less than ideal, but then I went back to sleep.
And promptly had a nightmare, which was also less than ideal, but then I got up. I sat my butt down in a comfy chair and I did a lot of cross-stitch. I watched some fun martial arts sequences from some movies. I finally remembered the name of the stuntman and martial artist I'd been trying to come up with yesterday! (Lateef Crowder. He's a capoeirista, because of course he is.) I went out and got less garden work than I'd meant to done, mainly because the boy was out mowing the lawn and chopping limbs (unbeknownst to me at the time) and then by the time he was done with all that he was exhausted, there were piles of tree limbs, so I had to move them. So I didn't have the energy to drag out the weed-whacker and carve out a walking path for myself around the second raised bed. C'est la vie. I got it half emptied, I can finish it hopefully tomorrow morning if I go to bed early enough and get up early enough.
I was asked if I was going to go to a capoeira event which, ahahah, participate in a group event dedicated to one-on-one sweaty panting martial arts where you get up close and personal with the other person, as in going between their legs and head-butting their ribs upwards kind of personal? No thank you. My friend said it was supposed to be socially distanced. I say I'll see you in a year if then.
But for the most part, yeah, it was a much calmer, quieter, less stress filled day, which I like. We'll see if I can repeat that feat tomorrow.

Thank you! Our martial arts place is going to re-open in the next couple weeks, and although it's supposed to be distanced, I'm just... ehghhg "this seems like an awful idea". Which is really hard because my partner and I really really miss it and are both feeling the effects of less exercise. :(

I feel like humans being humans, it's almost inevitable that either it's going to create a more frustrating experience than practicing alone in the safety of your home, or it's going to be frustrating and people are going to stop distancing and then... yeah.

I have yet to be ANYWHERE since this happened where people were consistently adequately spacing, wearing masks, and sanitizing/washing hands. I really don't think doing high intensity calisthenics in an enclosed space is gonna help with that.
