Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

hi! To answer your questions....

What’s going on in your life? Any recent developments?
I'm on break and studying for the Multiple Subject CSETs, which is pretty much eating up my life... not really? I feel like I should be studying harder, but at the same time, there's only so many times you can read it before it's like "yeah I read this already "

I'm also planning an escape room/puzzle series for my kids/students at Chinese School where the monster we created before spring break will come alive (somehow) and kidnap the Easter Bunny the week of Easter. I still need a storyline about that, but I think it's kinda coming together.

How has your mental health been the past few weeks?
It's gotten better? I was kinda sad at the end of the quarter during finals week and such because I wanna keep dancing at school but it's not gonna happen because I'm done with classes and it wouldn't be reasonable to pay tuition just to take dance classes that are all pass/no-pass, even if I pass them all with flying colors.

What goals are you currently working toward? What have you already accomplished?
Physically, I want to be able to invert (go upside down) on the silks, which is a skill I've struggled with since beginning lessons. I've improved to where I can start doing skills in the air (woot!) but anything that involves going upside down is a nope, unless I'm in a harness of sorts or there's a fabric behind my back to spot me.
The extended family gave me a surprised, belated birthday dinner thing on Thursday and the ribbon the bakery used to tie up the cake was super long, so I've been using that as a makeshift silk to practice the going-backwards motion, by hooking/looping it around the railing of a baby bed we have in the master bedroom.

Writing-wise, I've had no goals for a while, but once the testing craziness is over (end of April) maybe I'll be more at ease.

Is there anything that we can do as a group to support you more?
I am... okay for now I believe?
