Wow, Malaysia is being very cautious!
Yes the govt has a similar plan for the lockdown exit. Depends largely on availability of the vax and case numbers. Oct is an optimistic goal for now. Most likely Nov or 2022

Worked today. Turned on my computer and it updated. Once update was done everything was all messed up. Had to get a technician in and he is still having a hell of a time getting it all sorted. WTF!!!! Damn thing also installed that crappy Microsoft Edge on it. That was the first thing to go along with Google Chrome.
Anyway it sucked

Yeah, updates can be really dumb, especially Microsoft. My previous laptop was a Microsoft Surface, I was really happy with it...right until it was automatically updated to Windows 10. Completely fucked it, I haven't been able to get the laptop to work since, or even turn on now. Which is why I abandoned Windows in favour of Chromebooks, haven't looked back. ;)

Due to my previous work (video, copywriting, HTML coding, webdesign) my old Windows PC used to hang /crash regularly so switched to Mac and live happily ever after...

I wish we would switch but the boss is a cheapskate. Lol

Macs have their own issues and is a really closed ecosystem. I switched to open source in 2017 and I've been happy ever since.
Friday night was fun. Taught guard passing. 2 new people in the mix.

Yeah, I hate Apple and refuse to use any of their products. Android/Chrome open source all the way. :D

Dreamed about going to jiu-jitsu camps and seminars and having the best time. Then woke up to being kissed by an old little bitch with stinky breath. Wifey's parents are traveling to Southern Finland and their dog is staying with us. So yeah. Gotta be careful around the house now. Might accidentally step on that thing and break it. In-laws probably wouldn't like that.
Turned out to be a great day though. Had a good walk in the woods with the doggos. Put on some extra bug repellent and had zero mosquitoes fly in my nose/eyes. Had a good squat session in the gym and rewarded myself with some treats. A lot of treats, to be honest.
Found some interesting jobs and applied for a couple. Keeping fingers crossed now, I guess. Dunno why that's supposed to help though.
Have a great week everybody. It's already Monday here.

Super sweaty BJJ class. Buggy chokes and side control. I was the uke. Now the left side of my face looks like Harvey Dent's.

First day of training in 15 months. Dropped into a class at JT’s school, Essential Jiu Jitsu, it feels good to get back on the mats. Getting destroyed by a two time ADCC champion was quite an experience

Anyone know how to read cholesterol blood test results on here?
I have an appointment to follow up on it but wanted to know what I'm walking into.

Back from Cornwall. A lot of this over the last week, felt like Poldark (but without the hair and abs). ;)

Good nogi grappling class today. Some foot sweeps from clinch. Managed to hit one from a russian tie setup. Love low effort takedowns.
Sucks to hear about lockdowns. Covidiots are making things worse than they should be.

Moving up in the world, passed the yellow belt test in judo today. Trying to get on Joemoplata’s level.

Good evening all! I have been on vacation in New York (with a 4-day hotel stay in neighboring Connecticut). Visited BJJ for Christ (yes, that's their name) in Danbury and Nitro BJJ in Brewster while I was out here. Finally saw the Atlantic Ocean, something I had never done before. Then spent a few days in Saranac Lake. Now on our way to Buffalo.
Tomorrow evening we have a brief stop with family in Columbus, then picking my 15yo daughter up in Indianapolis, then back in Chicago. What a week! Hope you are all doing well.
I really gotta catch up my training log and vote on some people's profiles now that I'm a mighty blue belt who can bequeath an entire 5 points on others.

Tried to avoid the heat. End of the day didn't have time to go to the gym so went SUP boarding instead with wifey and her friends. And our doggo. Nice evening.

Last night was rough. I took my autistic 7yo to his kids' class as usual. He loses his temper *really bad* when he's losing at something even a little bit. We had him spar with a girl who's really a great match for him, same height and weight, and he was really unwieldy and angry with her, so she just kept taking him down and he kept getting angrier.
Then after class, I tried to do my nogi class while he waited with the Nintendo Switch, and he punched another kid in the face in the locker room. I left the class early furious with him.
I'm giving him a 1-2 week break from classes (and took away his electronic devices for a week---hitting is a huge no-no for me) and then I'm gonna stop having him spar for a while. Instead of sparring I'll do drills with him and his grappling dummy while the other kids spar.
It's so frustrating. He was an angel on our trip to New York all last week, super-helpful with his baby sister. He's extremely intelligent and precocious. He only loses it when he's losing.

Yikes. Sounds like just another 7-year-old kid, except in turbo sensitivity mode. I've had a couple kids like that in my classes. If they get past the anger of losing they get really good really fast.
