I had my full range of motion in every joint when I woke up this morning! Stretching before going to bed does wonders.

The class I was in had seven people with black belts, one person with a brown belt, and four or five other with lower belts. One of the black belts practiced with me yesterday to show me the ropes and I had neither the agility nor the physical strength to do anything to him that he didn't want me to do. The guy is old enough to be my father- and possibly my grandfather - and he could throw me around like a rag doll.

Then I practiced randori (I think?) with another black belt - a woman I outweighed by at least 40 lbs and she'd done two consecutive rounds of it with other black belts before practicing with me - and got taught a thing or two about agility (and humility).

It was great fun, can't wait until the next session on Tuesday.

I also need to find a way to get lighter on my feet, I felt old and sluggish yesterday.

Try to eat after class, rather than before it. "Sloshing" is not the best thing to experience during reps of throws.

But maybe two hours before, have a light snack that will pep you up for this.

The rest is stuff that will come with time and expertise accumulated.

So my mom stayed at a hotel last week, and came home with all of this "free stuff" that she said was in a basket in her room. The contents included:

1. a bottle of fiji water
2. a bottle of san peligrino
3. a full sized bag of goldfish crackers
4. a bag of trail mix
5. a bag of pretzels
6. multiple bags if chips/crisps
7. two granola bars
8. maybe more? She keeps whipping out other items

So.... I stay in a lot of hotels, and the one she was at wasn't that great. I'm pretty sure she bought at least a hundred bucks worth of snacks, but I don't want to break it to her.

That is simply hilarious.

I hope she never sees the bill.

"Free stuff", heh.

goldfish crackers?

[worry]

They're goldfish-shaped cheese crackers, similar to Cheez-Its.

Oh!
I thought they were a type of fish food and was very confused why hotels would have them!

My childhood game of spot the 50 states plates has been finished as of today. Spotted Hawaii plate in front of me today!

That's so fucking hard to find if you're not in San Diego or some other place closer to Hawaii. Well done.

I did the quarters thing. That was fun too.

Cheap beer is trying its utmost to make me happy. Knowledge of Donald Trump is stymieing progress. I think I need a new good book.

I hear some guy named 'Erikson' has a pretty decent series worth reading.

So I've heard...Unfortunately I've read all his stuff, except for the Willful Child books. Maybe it's time for some re-reads.

Well done Denmark's TV 2.

It's 2 AM and I have a midterm tomorrow at 8.

But I finally got Mint to work on my laptop. Yee-Haaaaw and screw Microsoft.

[LadyMTL]

Tomorrow is the first day of February, which means it's one day closer to spring.
Also, that January will finally be over.
