I’m a bit stressed but okay. I get stressed when I have a lot of different things to do and can’t work on all of them lol. Which looks dumb typed out. Like today, I got a great training session in the park this morning, did all my requirements, logged in my book, progress in other hobbies, cleaned, rested and ate well, and I’m all stressed that I didn’t do essay work. Wild how perspective runs with things sometimes. 

ALSO I absolutely s u c k at jump rope, (literally learned koreyo faster). Which I find funny. Of all the difficult black belt things, I get frustrated over jump rope. But, I made some progress with it today, so that’s good too.
