After going out to do a few things today, I noticed that most things have gone back to "normal". Traffic is back, most places are open, and people are outside. The only difference is that everything is just less. Traffic is a little less than it used to be, buildings are allowed to have less people inside them, and less people are outside. This will be the new normal for now. It is something that we have to get used to. This is better than what it has been like for the last few months, so this will be "easier" to deal with than it was before. When I say better, what I mean is more freedom of choice. Now we have the choice to go to a restaurant and eat there. We can go see other people again. We can go out and do lots of things. But, if we're not careful then everything will go back to the way it was. If that happens, then a lot of people will finally understand what's actually happening. So that's a bad thing that has some good side effects. For now lets stay smart and follow the rules.

This past Friday I had my first haircut since early January, which is most likely the longest I've ever gone without one. After, I felt better. I'm not quite sure in which way but I just felt better. This goes to show us how important some of the small things are in our life. When we lose access to those things, we start to realize how they impact our lives. Another example would be restaurants. Before, they were just a regular thing that most people go to a few times a week. Now going to a restaurant feels like a foreign concept. We all have had to change many of our ways in life. The next step will be after life goes back to "normal" and how most things will have more health precautions. We don't know what will be wiped from our lives when we all get back together. All we can do is our best at staying safe and keeping others safe.

Over the past few months, I have found that the amount of push-ups and sit-ups that I am doing has decreased, while my form repetitions have increased. I don't exactly know why, as it could be a combination of many different things. This definitely one of the smaller changes that has happened recently, but it's still interesting to see. I'm still on track with my requirements, so I would say this hasn't affected me as much as it could have. Things could be better, or things could be worse. I'll settle for where I am right now.

I want to start this off by saying Happy Mothers Day, to everyone out there. Since we got a projector and an outdoor screen, my family can now do our classes outside. This will be beneficial as we no longer have to worry about space or hitting a roof. The one downside is that our backyard and patio is far from flat. This will prove to be a bit of a challenge at first, but in time we will come to work around it or with it. Once we get used to that, it will be weird getting back on the mats as they're a lot less bumpy. But doing this is giving us another way to learn how to adapt to different situations, so this could help us in the future. We'll just have to wait and see.

Now that the weather has gotten better, I can finally start to go outside more. Today my dad got the outdoor projector he ordered, son now it will be easier for us to go outside and do our classes. Doing our classes inside has been going fairly well, sometimes we have to squeeze in to have enough room, and the hardwood floor doesn't really go well with somethings. Right now, me and my dad are building a little eco-center out of cedar. We'll have to clean up the mess we made first before we do Kung Fu outside. While the pile of wood we have yet to use is there, it is about to be used and isn't that large to begin with. We have really tried to do our best with making this the best we can, not only looks wise but also for how long it will last. It most likely won't have to be replaced for decades, making it a better alternative for what we had before. This one will definitely be better for the environment in the years to come, as it won't need to be replaced.
