So. Tired.
I spent all day today learning 15 movements of a 2-person taiji set. Tomorrow I learn 12 more. Matching them to your partner is the hard part. Solo form is easy! That's what we do all the time in taiji! No problem! But doing a sparring thing and having to get the timing and spacing with your partner is much trickier, especially if you're like me and do things slowly (because you forget what comes next.) Yes, taiji is supposed to be slow, but I'm a little extra slow when I'm learning something new.
And I'm considering doing the 4-day version in May to learn the whole thing. I must be out of my mind. (I need to examine my vacation balance before making decisions. Also, it's the weekend before AZ, and I'd hoped to take at least half a day Friday. I'll ask Lee on Monday what his opinion on that is.)
I'll have more thoughts tomorrow after we're done. And possibly know more whether I feel up to four whole days of this, or if two is liable to kill me. One day hasn't, but I came home and napped on my couch for half an hour during dinner break. That may have helped.
Getting up at 7 am tomorrow, again. But it'll feel like 6 with the damn time change. Cruel, they. For now, I'm going to sleep. I can't brain right now. I'm not ignoring discussions in various comment threads; I'm just braindead.
