Quarintennis. - Mood:Good

Sunday April 05 202010:30:33 PM |

My serve is rusty. But it feels not bad. Second serve is hopping up as it’s supposed to. Every once in a while my toss is just the right amount of out front on the first. My backhand has become a natural thing in the past couple years/seasons. That’s been the most satisfying. I can create with it rather than just release it. Definite sense of feel at contact. Understanding when a slice is necessary but trying to not use it too defensively. My brother is my partner. Sometimes he wakes up past noon but any Saturday or Sunday sans rain is an opportunity. I’m sore in a very satisfying way. Especially since we’ve been doing match play and mixing in serving with the groundstrokes. So it’s been a very successful use of quarantime. And I’ve been getting free food at the parents’ too so I can save my frozen quaranmeats. It’s really been kind of quaranfun. Not quarantrapped.

Not flying. - Mood:Good

Wednesday March 18 202010:57:28 AM |

I’m not going away anymore. I’ve mentioned it a couple of times now but my family had planned on going to St. John with everyone for a week in an air bnb. We were planning on going during the restrictions being placed in NY. We were planning on going when they shut down schools and bars and movie theaters. The deciding factor to not go was when St Thomas started making restrictions. Particularly ferry services that would have possibly left us stranded on one island or the other. So at first it was a relief because I wasn’t waiting for the axe to fall but now it’s setting in that I really was looking forward to the trip. I’m just not taking time off now. And oh yeah. I forgot to mention that in my email to HR. I sent an email about an HSA and a 401k but was supposed to also mention that I’m cancelling my vacation time. I guess I’ll just reply I’d they reply.

I’m not sure how many pills I took. - Mood:Good

Monday March 09 202011:39:32 PM |

I was in the kitchen two or three times since I’ve been home. I know I put on rice. I know I grabbed one beer out of the fridge. But where I keep my medication, which is in a little box above the table near the stained glass window, that box was open. And I don’t think I went to the sink twice. I’m pretty sure I only went to the sink once. But the box was open so I may have doubled the dosage for maximum vent. I was actually preparing myself for a world without YT though. To be more on point with the rest of the threads. I actually drank too much on Saturday and made two or three more songs on the Auxy app on my phone. So now I’m just going to shamelessly plug this Auxy app. The noises are satisfying and the interface is really simple. It’s a good rendition of the several dumbed down beat makers have to offer. Patterns helped me last week. Looking at and making them.
