I had thought about using duct tape around some stuffed clothes once. I figured it might end up being more expensive than buying one. lol
No duct tape required for the one I use. You just need:
- Hoody
- 1 or 2 large pillows to stuff into the hoody
- Several rolled up towels to pull through the sleeves, voila you have arms
- A gi jacket to wrap all that up
- A belt to close the jacket
Takes about 5 mins. There's the additional option of putting a rolled up yoga mat behind the pillow to create a head and neck, but works without that too. Mainly helps for drilling chokes, as that rolled up mat makes for a good 'neck'. :D

'Stay awhile and listen!' Uuuh the nostalgia. I used to play Diablo 1 on an old iMac with a notoriously shitty CD drive. It would get stuck super often and I'd have to open and close the drive for the game to resume. And the CD drive was loud as fck. Been feeling a bit tired or sick, not sure which, so I've just slept a lot and avoided all the chores around the house.
Yep! Nostalgia has been the number one reason I play games, hence why I don't play anything more recent than 2000. Emulators are so awesome. :D

I finally got around to stuffing a grappling dummy I bought during our first Covid lockdown. He’s a bit smaller than I thought.
You know those giant overstuffed bears? We hates them, precious. Kids only play with them for 5 minutes and then they just take up a ton of space and sit there uselessly. I've had about 4 people try to gift me their leftover giant bears and I always had to firmly turn them down.
Finally my kids' babysitter brought one over to the house without asking me beforehand, and I love this babysitter like a daughter so I was too polite to tell her to take that accursed thing out of my house.
Turns out they make okay grappling dummies.

Yeah, that's an excellent idea! Especially as that one has long enough legs that you can drill something on them. I have a giant cuddly bunny that I've put in a gi before, but it's got stumpy bunny legs and arms, so not so useful as your Gracie Bear-a. ;)

Gracie Bear-a. ;)
Lol love it. Coincidentally, the babysitter's name is Grace.
A real grappling dummy arrived in the mail last week so Gracie Beara's time as my training partner is winding down. I just have to stuff the darned thing.

I randomly got some retro crisps as a random free gift with something I ordered: haven't eaten these since the '90s. Tasty, if not QUITE as tasty as the mightiest of all crisps, Monster Munch. :D

Well, the first thing I noticed when I took the trash out this morning was it was a lot darker than normal. I get in my car and start it, go to turn on my headlights, and nothing. I’m confused, so I turn them off and on a few times. I stare out into the pitch blackness wondering what has happened and then I realized I had not taken off the windshield frost guard I bought the other day. lol

Good Morning!! Work and home today. Not much happening.
Cold morning at -5C but feels like -11C with the wind chill.
I really wish I did not work with such narcissists as we have here.
Makes for long days.
Oh well.
Have a great day!

Good Morning! TGIF!
Today looking forward to eating Pho for lunch with my buddies.
I'm here in the shop and office all day.
I have to do takeoffs on Blocks of townhouses that are projected for construction.
I already did this project before but there are some changes to the plans which means I have to do it all again. FFS!
Anyway I'm hoping my boss (father in law) does not come in today. He is a narcissist and it is very draining to say the least.
He needs constant attention and all conversations are about him. He does not mess with me as much as everyone else as he has a healthy fear of me. (I told him I was going to put him to sleep if he kept talking to me once.) He still tries but is tentative and walks on eggshells around me.
Luckily I can have this site and music playing while I work to help pass the time.
Was supposed to teach last night but ended up working later than expected due to an incident onsite which I can't get into but it was significant enough to throw everything into chaos for the whole day.
Wishing you all a great day!!

Yeah, as long as you don’t mess with the legal name. The guys at the gym called me Joe Wick and the guy that looks like the singer in Foo Fighters. The kids in my Upward Bound program said I looked like an older, fatter Keanu. I get the fatter part but I’m younger than him. lol

Good Morning!!
Busy at work yesterday. Long day as well.
Back at it today. Hopefully I get an early day. We are on lockdown as far as training and non essential businesses are concerned.
Not really much going on other than work and training at home with my sons and exercising.
Today is -6c here so pretty cool out. I hope you all have a great day!

My son got his 4th and 5th stripes tonight. Super proud of him! He now outranks me. :-D

5th stripe? That's new, or is it just for the kiddos?

Just for the kiddos. They do 5-8 stripes on kids' belts before changing belt colors at GB, I believe.
Although my coach has missed a couple of classes lately and I keep threatening to promote myself if he misses again. "You're gonna come in and be all like, 'Why does Bridget have 5 stripes on her belt??'" :-D

Good Morning folks!
On four hours of sleep.
Taught class at our sister academy and did not get to bed as early as I wanted to.
Up at 4:30am for work.
At work dying now. Lol It's cold and windy and sleep is the only thing on my mind.
Going to be a long day.
Hope you have a great day!

Yeah, those mornings are rough! I work with a summer camp of sorts and I have many 4 hours or fewer nights of sleep the duration of the 5-week program.
I feel like I'm close to going on a vision quest most days. LOL
