grim23(1) Just got back from Brietenbush Hot Springs, where the BF and I were for the whole weekend. She was taking a massage class and I was a massage dummy for her class. Got a great massage from another student, who worked my shoulders away from my ears, where they've been for several weeks. Also, I soaked and steamed and soaked and steamed, and did much healing and relaxing of...
(2) I fractured my left wrist sparring with Sensei. I stopped a spinning back kick with a good outside block. I wrapped it for two weeks but it didn't get better so the Seneschal, the BF, and many others nagged until I went to see my doc. Xrays were taken (inconclusive) but palpation found a fracture, so I must wear a sexy wrist brace until I heal. Also pulled both hamstrings leaving big sexy bruises on the backs of my kness and thighs. Fortunately, most of the bruising and soreness from all body parts seems to be gone after the magickal healing waters have done their work.
(3) Work continues...site review again, utilization management, trauma survivor crisis planning, clinical supervision, chart organization. Ugh. My clients seem to be doing pretty well, and some catharsis is happening, despite much domestic violence. It must be in the air *frown*.
(4) Getting my new armour designed and done. I have commissioned an armourmaker instead of making it myself (a first) but my armour will be light, free moving, and beautiful enough to stand in the living room. I will be fighting in a multi-weapons tourney next month, and training under Master Grendal again. Yay!
(5) Got my first compliment in karate; my Sensei said that I was starting to understand the philosophy of the kata and that I had the right mentality. He then said, mysteriously, that I was "right where I should be at my level." AAArrrgh. I want to be higher than that. :> I strive to be patient and learn at the pace they want me to, but I'm hungry for more. I may train at another dojo in the same school or get some private lessions from Sensei James.
(6)Cats/Roommate doing well, although I haven't seen them much. Hmmmm. Maybe I should go home more. My dissertation seems to be taking precedence over everything else in my life; I even missed seeing JIC and Nericsx and the DDGM#15, although they were in Salem and could have called (minor guilt sent).
(7) The truck remains battered until money to fix; it runs ok, but will be used less due to riding season (after the wrist heals and I can ride). Got two broken bikes that may be cannabalized for the chopper; stand by for details.
Ok, enough. Time for the dojo.
