Beat the battle of the germ

So I got sick on Friday. Really ... why not Tuesday or Wednesday, at least it wouldn't mess up my weekend when the cool stuff is going on and I could stay home from work instead. Essentially all I did was sleep for two days straight. Yuk! Of course it messed up the numbers ... I am attempting to get things back in line.

The good thing about winter is that there are fewer distractions ... not tempted to go out to the garden or go for a spin on the motorcycle, or sit out on the deck and have a glass of wine and enjoy the quiet, things like that. However it does mess with some practice because going outside in two feet of snow to work on a form is not really an option. Fortunately for me I am spoiled and can practice inside in the shop (at work) where it is a heck of alot warmer and not much I can damage. So I certainly have no excuse for being behind on my form reps ... which I still am but it is looking better than a month ago so progress is being made.

I have been reviewing the bokken form and I must admit I lost most of the sequence of the thing while focusing on other forms. I keep adding moves from the broadsword form too it so its become a hybrid. Master Brinker did warn us about things like this so I am trying to not beat myself up about it and just fix it.
