Well, I'm impressed...

Only thing hurting today is, yep, the left butt-cheek, with the attendant 'erg, we're just a little stiff here, lady' leg muscles to go with it. I did get a bit crinked up off and on last night, but I kept doing little mini-stretches on the offending area whenever that happened.

And here I was expecting some sort of crippling pain by this morning. I'm, like, so totally disappointed, guys. (*cough* gottabridegeinAZtosellyouifyoubelievethat. *g*).

Anyhow, so tonight I go back again.

Maybe this time I'll manage to be in agony from the exercise by Friday.

...Yes, I am weird and messed up. Why do you ask? ;)

Anyhow, off to use my stubbornly not hurting muscles for work. :)

If there's one thing that I don't like about Wednesdays...

It's that they tend to drain me of energy for anything else once I get off work, especially on super-busy days where I end up working from 6am til 3:45 pm. And today was one of those days.

I took a bath when I came home, resisted the urge to take a nap (because lately that means I'm down until at least 7), and ate a steak and some strawberries (I'm saving the veggie part of dinner until after class since I'll likely be hungry. I know I was last time, and the more light weight but filling an 8 o'clock meal is, the better.).

I was all psyched for class this morning. Now I'm just kinda tired and 'blah' and really just want to park myself in front of the tube with vid-game controller in hand.

Still, doing stretches (even though I can't remember some of the ones Master Lee showed me, I'm doing the ones I do remember. Figure it can't hurt if I do them twice in one night, right?) in an effort to motivate myself. It's sort of working, but part of me is still just 'bleh'. I know myself well enough though that as long as I get dressed and shove myself out the door at class time, it'll be all right. Of course, until then? Bleh.

I went, I Saw, I got to play with the kids... XD

So I showed up in time for the last 15 minutes of the kids class and got to join in. Heh.

I tell you this...some adults may feel the full range of negative emotions from being stuck in a kids' class, from embarassment to outrage, but I think I'd have to tell them to just get over their bad selves.

Yep, I was the oldest, and yep, I was the only white belt. But guess what?

Kids? Even the teenagers I was paired with? Damned forgiving and not at all worried about being paired with a 'lesser' rank (or a 'grown up', for that matter). Everyone just wants to learn, and learn we did (and I got some experience with doing actual kicks and sparring, which is good--that's what I'm gonna need in order to improve.)

As it is, I'm still the only adult student he has, so...I'm on the 6:30 class now. With the kids. Hee. :)

(Hey, training with people younger, faster, and more flexible than me will do me good. *g*)

Nearly

One year ago today, this is where I was (and yes, it's f'locked).

Things are so different now. And that seems so long ago.

And damn it feels good to not be in that place anymore, or be that person anymore. :)
