CrossFit Linchpin workout today. Good to be moving but this is the second day in a run that I’ve run!

Beau Miles' new video of digging up a rock and running around with a wheelbarrow. I do LOVE his stuff.

I can’t focus to write it properly. So here’s a list.
I runned. Just went out and did it. We joke that we don’t run in our little group but not because we can’t but because it isn’t practical.
一诺千金yi nuo qian jin. One of the reasons I like my class is they “throw the stuff” we try to teach them back in our face. Got to respect that. In this case it’s a Chinese phrase, saying? That means, ‘do what you say’. I’m constantly hearing it from them and am a better teacher and human being because of it.
I’m mostly introverted. And most of the time living in a non-native language speaking bubble in another country is ok. Sometimes it isn’t and that’s hard. Today it’s that Lyra has people to go meet and I don’t feel there’s anyone, my closest friends might as well be on another planet.
I am loving both Peacemaker and After Live for being both crude but also having this human moments that makes me cry.
I think that’s it. Now coffee.
We live in a ‘compound’ of 8 18-floor towers. All the kids leave their bikes and scooters on the ground floors covered but open spaces.
Came down today and Yumo’s bike wasn’t there. It was in the tower over. Which means someone had been using it but that it’d been put back.
I realise I find this whole idea strange but in reflection I like this way.
We’re loving Peacemaker but if something happens to Eagley…
Introduced Lyra and her friends to leading with 3 set words on Wordle and then going from there. Her comment was “it’s boring but efficient” and that it “takes the fun out of it.”
For reasons I got up at 4am. I know I’m going to crash later but right now, I am loving the quiet. I’ve finished watching AEW Dynamite. Now going to play some Mario.

Spent a whole lot of time looking at G-Shocks…
Wordle has the additional bonus for my wife and her friends to learn lots of new English words!
Up at 5:15. Today was easier and I was happier to do it. Was drifting in and out of sleep. Then ended up thinking about my after school activity and then got up to do some work to prepare for that. The activity will be interesting in that I’ll be teaching Elise. The first time!
Quincy Jones:
Nadia Boulanger used to tell me all the time, “Quincy, your music can never be more or less than you are as a human being.” It’s okay to play fast and all that other stuff, but unless you have a life experience, and have something to say that you’ve lived, you have nothing to contribute at all. So I decided to live my life, and I did.

We do not teach because by doing so we can eradicate the differences between rich and poor. We do not teach to educate society, or to create a better one. We do not educate our children so that they have skills that will make them more productive workers. Our responsibility is more profound. We teach because, as Tressell has said, our children are the heirs of all that has gone before them and by teaching them well we gift them their birth right to the fruit of our civilizations.

Stand up and walk away
Your desk, your work, from busy
There’s a world outside!
Up at 5:30 and feeling so much better for it. Have had time to think, dwell and do todays Wordle!

Yeah I like this list.
My issue is accepting that my balcony is enough when I want something like this from here.
