Partial place holder while I contemplate an interesting, um, contemplation. How to be like Nobby Nobbs, the only citizen of Anhk-Morpork who had to be certified as actually being a human. Nobby Nobbs, who does tricks with the boils on his face. Nobby Nobbs, who was watched by generals to see whose uniform he was wearing because that was the winning side...regardless of which side he started out on. So...some contemplation. For those that are scratching their heads, he's a side character through out the Discworld series, but a prominent and occasionally complex one, often the comic relief and the occasional sly asker of questions, and occasionally a reminder of both the common-place and the pathos that is part of being alive. While I work that out over the next few days, along with details, elements of the challenge will include: - Continued work on more and better sleep, as part of the League of Temperance. Ve shall be stronk! Ve shall overcome ze vak...ze ze vake...ze va.. ze v-word! Ve shall haf cocoa, zer singsongs and zer tasty buns. - Following my PT's instructions. I have been having some shoulder issues in the last couple of months, and hell froze over (and we had a windstorm) and I made an appointment with a PT to actually work on making it better. I have a set of exercises to do, and weekly appointments to check in (two more weeks for the initial period). Things are progressing, and we seem to be dialing in the issue(s). This will affect what I can and can't do for training in the short interim. - Suburi - this has been cleared, especially as it's slow, and not a hard stressor, and I just need to do it, dammit. - Cooking - healthy eating starts at home. - Dancing - we may have a lvl3 blues class, finally, assuming enough people sign up. The lvl 2 group going through this last time is pretty big and connected, so it might actually happen. - Work and stress management - Nobby is an expert at this, so perhaps I can learn a few things, if only it's to not be there when the thing happens, and to never let yourself be volunteered. Beer may be had, especially if someone else pays for it.
