I re-visited my Tai Chi broadsword form today in case it's wiped from my memory forever and ever...especially the names of each technique, without which the form has no soul.

Yesterday I noticed my purse contents were on the back floorboard of my car. I gathered everything up and brought it in the house (my purse was inside so I didn't put my stuff in there right away) I set everything down and started doing other things. Later that evening I try to find everything so I can rent a carpet shampooer from the grocery store. I realize I can't find my driver's license or my debit card. I figure no big deal, I'll write a check and write my DL# on the check. I get to the grocery store and they need 2 forms of ID to rent a carpet shamooer. At this point I don't have one so I leave and go back to the house. At this point the kids are saying that they are hungary. I didn't pull anything out from the freezer so I figured no big deal I'll look for my card and pick something up. I found out my daughter decided to take my purse contents and hide them somewhere in the house. Of course she can't remember where she hid them. So now I have to replace everything (medical ID cards, debit card, driver's license, college ID, my Coushatta gambling card, etc.). To top it all off, I have about 600 things to do today on top of getting things replaced. I now understand why some animals eat their young.

How is it that my neck is more sore today than it was yesterday, from my BJJ class on Tuesday? Oh wait - it's because my WHOLE DAMN BODY HURT so bad yesterday that my neck was just a blip on the radar.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I'll apply some ointment. -

I didn't practice my harmonica playing for one whole week; I feel soooo guilty.

Yeah! That reminds me. I haven't really played keyboards for over a year now. But I play drums every other day or so. Finally getting a feel for playing double bass-drum stuff.

BJJ has given me 2 big friction burns on the knees, if i sit down for a while then stand my trousers stick to the sores, which is nice.

Last night I REALLY wasn't in the mood for karate. Dragged my way through, but then I got to pick what to do for the last 20 minutes. Couldn't think of anything - and 'kikihowa' came to mind. Kinda like push-hands on speed, it's a fun way to end the class and reminded me: I may hate sometimes to go...but am always glad that I went.

Very true, no matter what the coach throws at you at the end of the class its always worth it (unless you injured yourself in the process)

Grumbleweed;

If you're in the Thai Town neighbourhood, don't miss out the restuarant called "Rua Pae" (the Raft). They say that that place got the best thai food you can get. . outside of Thailand.

But then again, I presume that Mrs Grumbleweed cook thai food on a daily basis for you anyway
