Life got busy again. Then arthritis in my hand has been flaring for 2 weeks, which coincides with the 2 weeks I've not practiced. I had been doing so well, I was at 2 weeks working out every day except for missing one day each week. From my physical conditioning, even just the chi kung was tiring the legs. Lately #problemchild is more and more negative every day. It affects me, I disagree with what she's doing and she won't leave me out of it because she's technology deficient. So she was very loud today, spreading negativity via phone. That's it, I had to get through the long form. I don't have enough room in my bedroom so I make step adjustments and try to make each posture. Damn if her phone call didn't last as long as the form. I had to finish it. I didn't do chi kung or warmups and my legs were already burning before 3rd section. My knee popped out at the end (ouch.) But I really needed this tonight, as both a mental distraction and as a physical release.
The short term goal is to have enough energy to do the chi kung, long form, then both sword forms. The long term goal is to actually memorize the sequence so I'm not tethered to wifi to follow the videos and do the forms back-to-back. Maybe one day I can figure out the short form, with or without a trip back to Texas.
