amyparker, I hear you. There are things that cannot be done remotely.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sorry about the rant last night. I just hit points here I'm at the end of my tether.

ND, don’t apologize for ranting here. I’m sorry things are so difficult right now.

No apologies. It is amazing that you aren't screaming at the world and random strangers daily. This has all been too much. There is more hope than a month ago, but it surely ain't over yet.

Somehow I've made it to December, and I haven't had to let go of any of my full time employees, and they all still have healthcare, so we've been just getting through, but this has been insanity.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
ND, if we need to start apologizing for ranting here... then hi, I've got a lot of apologizing to start doing.
It is amazing that you aren't screaming at the world and random strangers daily.
That.
Also, {{sj}}.
It's almost 22:00pm here and I managed to handle everything I needed to do today, and I'm trying to make my brain stop fussing about everything else that still needs to be done in general. I am not a fan of this feeling.
Edited to add:

That is an amazing list of accomplishments. I can't imagine what it has been like.

ND, that is truly amazing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, ND, that's incredible. Congratulations. Also, I barely thought that was a rant!

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.
ND, what else are we for, if not to listen? You're doing a fantastic job.
Juliana, I wound up chatting with the teacher after class, and she agreed with my point that she wouldn't feel comfortable pushing us in the poses if she hadn't had the hands-on time with the core group: she's familiar with our bodies and our capabilities, and knows we have the sense to modify or leave a pose out completely if we can't do it.
(We've been working on Crow. I have fallen on my face twice. Like, 'loud crash, Jim comes running from the office, bruises for three days after' fallen. She knows I'll tap out if I can't continue; she hasn't worked enough with the remote students from other parts of the country - we're getting some, it's wild - to be sure they won't push and hurt themselves more.)

I totally understand people missing time interacting with others, but I also think it would be awesome if the option of doing things virtually remained after the pandemic is under control.
