In the Before Times, I can't imagine having been able to spend 45 min around lunchtime in a yoga class that used my little inversion tool. And now
1) I feel so much calmer/at peace. Maybe there's something to this yoga thing.
2) for the first time in all the time I've owned my FeetUp* I've done something with it other than just hang around upside down.
3) I'm also really aware of yet another one of those times that if not for something uncomfortable/that didn't work right I wouldn't have then been able to do something for me or someone else that was good.
Re 3, The other day it was uncertainty around the new restrictions meaning I didn't walk as far as my original plan of tapkeout from New Big Wong, and instead accidentally learned of the Bibimbap place that had the unfortunate timing of opening only 3 weeks ago. Had amazeballs food and posted about them on my building bbs. In this case, I needed to get the instagram app working on my phone to attend Christine's inversions class, ended up using the feetup because my handstands weren't to the level of what they were doing even at their best (and headstands are painful) and because I now had instagram open the very next post I saw was Daniel's, about this, today.
630 tonight Sue and Gary are teaching Tranky Doo.
I've been maintaining daily walks. A thing that is in fact recommended for health and sanity During These Times, and which is one of the reasons I haven't been sharing otherwise good memes that conflate physical distance with indoors. I've also been thinking to go buy a pint of sanitizer from the local distillery, muchly to support the local distillery. Not that I've done much with sanitizer -- I try to keep a small one in my pocket for the rare event I'd need to eat before getting home and truly washing. And I keep some in the car.
I've also been covering for outside time. I felt, honestly, like a bit of an idiot yesterday -- I was the one person I remember with a covered face, but it was also trivial to stay away from people. I think maybe I was 8 feet away from someone as we each got off a large sidewalk. But I think normalizing public masking is important.
*knockoff - mine converts also to a bench, although I seem to have misplaced the hardware to secure the rest of the cushion
