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.

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.

Wow, ND, that's incredible. Congratulations. Also, I barely thought that was a rant!

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.

Same! I loved going to my yoga studio but I do so much more yoga now that my studios classes are all online and I can do them whenever is convenient for me.

Yeah, I hope we can have a better mix of options for different people's needs. I've seen some people adopting masks as an occasional option even After. I think familiarity with remote stuff will make it more possible, but I fear that it will be over-adopted in cases where it's not as good. The balancing will be key, and i don't have a lot of confidence in a lot of organizations to make good choices.

ND, that is incredible and inspiring. I hope relief comes soon. The acrobatics you must be having to do... and sacrifices on your end, I am quite sure. (I, too, did not see a rant there, but, yeah, rant as needed, always).

Yes, some virtual options added on the regular to the general mix once After gets here would be great for many.

Timelies all!

Well, the day went pretty well, considering I realized my sweater was on backwards when I got to work.
