Day 111 - Practice makes purrfect

Day 111
 
I was too tired yesterday to make a post. In fact I'm tired today too, but I will make one anyway.
 
I'm getting better! Still need to practice though... I had my last individual lesson today. Master said I need to practice precision, being able to treat my weapon as extension of my body and knowing where the end of my rapier is without looking.

That will be tough nut to crack for me.

But at least I'm getting faster! With daily practice I jumped from being able to stab someone up to 30 time in 30 seconds to around 50 times in 30 seconds! Progress.

My cat likes to play with the end of my rapier, dunno why. I guess she likes the touch of soft safeguard... or she considers it some kind of toy, no idea what kinda toy though.

I cleaned up the bedroom and rearranged it a bit. Now my kids don't sleep too well while adjusting to the new setup. And when they don't sleep well... so do I. Well... shit.

I lost my drive to write fantasy and dropped the latest project. I'm translating the science fiction I wrote earlier instead.

Day 144 - Five of Cups

  Day 144   Apparently some party in Germany sent out fake deportation notices to immigrants as part of their election campaign. This got me...
