Bank Day

Today we decided to draw on some of our banked time and went up to Hendersonville for the Apple Festival.  Sadly, the vendor we really wish would come back seems to have stopping coming; I don't think we've seen them since pre-Covid.  However, we did get some food and drinks and got some mileage in.  It started storming so we headed to the car and went to get some food.  After a couple of stops to feed everyone, the rain broke so we went apple picking and got more mileage in there as well.  We came home with a lot of apples and some treats and managed to get our physical requirements done for the day. I'm glad we've got (hopefully) enough poomesae and self-defense time banked since we didn't have time get to those.  We'll probably do a bit extra tomorrow but we'll see how things look.  I've got a...

Lightning....and the thunder...

Well, we actually made it out to the Apple Festival! The plan was to go to the festival then go apple picking at Stepps, a pick your own place we have frequented for years.  When we got to the festival there were some dark clouds, but it was sunny and humid.  The clouds decided that they, too, would like to visit the festival and brought their friends lightening and thunder with them! We didn't get to stay as long as we probably would have liked, and went to go find food elsewhere.  Mark's food challenge makes it a bit more interesting than just dealing with my allergies, but we ended up getting a rotisserie chicken and baguette from Ingles grocery store that worked for both of our food needs. The kids are tacos from White Duck.  By the time we are the storm had passed, so we went to Stepps. We...

On Saturday, we went to Pilot Mountain to go camping with our friends. There, I did my digital detox challenge. We had a good time. On Sunday, we had to pack up and leave early because of the rain. After that, I could finally use electronics again, which was nice. Have a good night.

New Pull-Up Equipment

Previously, I was using a resistance band that I can place one of my knees in to assist with pull-ups. However, I did not like the balance too much. The new equipment has two separate rest areas for both feet or both knees.....whatever is preferable. I like using my feet because I feel safer with that method. I wish I knew this equipment existed earlier....oh well. I completed my requirements. I do not have all day since I am working the next two nights. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

Good morning, everyone! I haven't had time to write my journal for a while now and have a lot of tracking to update on the website. Last week, we headed to NYC and moved my brother in for college.

Journaling late...opps. not having blackbelt class or JT class, along with the storm that rolled in Friday night threw me off.  Saturday was a whirl-wind of a day. Actually was able to sleep in past 6:45 and enjoyed my day of my requirements on and off all day.  My husband and I went to Petco and bought everything needed for my class pet...a baby bearded dragon. She is settling in nicely and will be going to school with me Tuesday.

8/31 Curtis Journal

Saturday- got up for blackbelt class, it was a good one. Work with weapons which I haven’t done much of. Then stuck around and got a mentee session in and a helped with the family class after. Then we went home and I got a short walk/run in, I’ve hurt my foot/ankle somehow and am trying to not mess it up more.  Spent the rest of the day cleaning and prepping our room above the garage I am working on converting to an additional bathroom.

wasted saturday

Not really my fault though. The workers rebuilding our master shower have been flaky, late and slow so they've had to come on saturday and work all day from 10am to 8pm to make up for the lost time during the week. What a shame. Now i'm having some back spasms so thats not helping. Going to try to get some poomsae and sd practice in later though.

Something strange is afoot...

I'm just going to say it- today was weird in many ways.  One: no black belt class today.  I rolled over and realized that I had ten minutes to get my oldest to work, let alone eat, pack and drive to Lake Norman for class.  Guess I needed sleep more.  Two: I got up fully intending to crank out about 4-5 miles as I still had two plus miles to make up from last week.  I was doing great despite the knee being gimpy today, not even sweating.  All of a sudden the sun comes out from behind the clouds, the air gets heavy and heats up 20 degrees instantly, and my body went "nope, we are done".  I had to go back to the house, now pouring sweat and feeling like I was going to pass out.  It took water+food+air conditioning to feel normal again.  Three: the TOPS of my...

Is It Really Saturday?

It feels weird to get up and not go to class on Saturday.  We toyed with the idea of trying to make it up to Lake Norman but we'd have been late no matter what given that we have to drop our eldest off at work at 8am.  And that's not even counting the invitation to do focused higher belt curriculum prior to class.  Instead we stayed home and worked on Cycle requirements and then did our weekly shopping. Tomorrow we're planning on trying to get up to the mountains for either apple picking, the Apple Festival, or maybe both.  Unfortunately, the food isn't much of a lure with the dietary challenge but we'll see what happens.  Either way, I think getting out of town for half the day would be nice.  I don't really see how people on the Cycle mange vacations - the one time we did that we...

Decisions Decisions

Yesterday went smoothly. I was able to do my requirements and headed to the dojang for class assistance and Muay Thai. Today, I had to hustle this morning since I’m working 7p to 3a. I thought about going to Lake Norman in the morning because I usually go to North Charlotte on Saturdays after a nap. On the other hand, since I was so exhausted earlier this week…… maybe this is a sign to give my body more rest and sleep in later 😴. I’m no spring chicken!! If I don’t go, I’ll try not to feel guilty.

Same verse same as the first....

Hey guys this is a rewrite! I apparently forgot to title the blog post so the post didn't save! Hooray! Anyhow-sparring class was fun.  One of the activities was to look down, spin in a circle, and then try and throw five fast front kicks.  There were some who ended up on the mat immediately after spinning.  No judgement, because that was not an easy task.  At the end o class Master Opey and Instructor Max did some unofficial sparring, which was cool to watch.  I was glad the pouring rain waited until we got home.  Driving in rain is no good, because you can't see the lines on the road.  Hopefully we make.it to the apple festival tomorrow.  I'd really like to find a second flying dragon for the bedroom, and we found the first one at the apple festival pre covid

Freaky Friday

  It's finally Friday - which means rushing from work down to sparring class at North Charlotte. Another busy day but this time I mostly snacked during the day because I didn't really have time for lunch.  At 5pm I gathered up all my gear and both of our jump ropes and headed down for class.  It was raining really hard partway through the drive and then mostly cleared up; it was very strange weather. Tonight's class was a cranked up just a bit compared to last week but it was a good class.  Instructor Max does a good job keeping it lighthearted without losing focus and stressing important lessons without stressing out the class.  After all was said and done and we were packing up to leave and we got to watch him spar with Master Opey.  Then it was time to come home and eat dinner and finish up...

First Week Of School DONEToday was the final stretch of this week for me, after waking up at 5:00am everyday im glad the last day of the week was the shortest. In sparring today we worked on how to use front kicks in more practical ways and how to add them into combos. We also did some dizzy drill where we spun around in a circle and tried to do 5 front kicks, and I ALMOST fell over. After sparring I finished up most of my physical requirements for the week and took a nap to lose the headache from class.

Thursday- last day at the beach, we had a free pass to the go-cart place and decided to use it before we left. We packed up early and hit the tracks around 11. I was impressed with everyone’s driving skills, especially considering the girls hadn’t really done anything like that before.  We left around 1:30 and made it back just in time for evening sparring. I’m glad we kept up on our requirements as well as we did but now I’ve got to keep focused and finish everything up before testing!

Almost Friday

I know it's still Thursday, but I'm not going to lie-I am looking forward to having a long weekend.  I invited the parents of my Joshua's friend Joshua (yes, they have the same name) to go to the apple festival in Hendersonville this weekend and apple picking if we have time.  They are also a family of five so we will probably have to caravan if everyone goes. We may also be going to Lake Norman for black belt class Saturday since they are open.  We'll see how things go because of timing with getting Joshua to work that morning.  On a TKD note, I realized that my instructor skills need to be sharpened for the little distractible students.  I was given a group of three to work with tonight.  One focused well, and he seems to be a good student.  Student two-intelligent, asked questions, list focus half way through small...

The Weekend Approaches

  I didn't get as many Cycle requirements done during work as I did yesterday.  I was a bit busier and had more steady testing to accomplish so there was less time to slip in physical training.  I did manage to get the physical stuff done before I headed to the dojang, however.  Once I got there I had enough time to do some rolls and falls on the mats before leading warmups and helping with class. After we came home, we did our kick practice while dinner was cooking and afterwards it was time for self-defenses and poomsae.  Tomorrow is sparring class and then a rare dojang-free weekend.  Of course, with the Cycle at full swing, we still have to fit in requirements; we just don't have to dress out.

Today I helped out with the senior tigers class. We worked on poomsaes and adding onto white belt and yellow belt curriculum. I worked with the blue - high blue belts on oh-chang, making sure stances were worked on and we knew the application of the moves we were doing. After that I worked with my friend on some other blue belt work before I left.

It was a pretty usual day today. Same ole same ole with the school. I got home and didn’t have much time before I had to get ready to go to sparring. I helped at the class before. Getting a snack and going to bed.

Again, today was another very long day. School has definitely been taking a toll on me. I spent most of the day taking notes in my classes and starting all our new units. I came home, did a little bit of homework, then headed off to practice. At practice we did 4 hill combos (for anyone who doesn't know what they, it is 4 steep hills and 4 long gradual hills). I then came home, ate, and got ready for sparring class, which was good; except, my legs and mind were so tired I was struggling to stay standing. I then came home again, ate, and now I am here.

Game day

Today I went to school which was fun, I learned a lot and we even had something we call a house meeting, which is a meeting that we have with our house system where we're split up at a middle and high school into houses, and we have house meetings. I'm in house Audacia and we had our first meeting of the year where we just talk about what we're going to do for the year. After we had a soccer game which we sadly lost, but then I went home and did my home work and just chilled for the rest of the night.

Journal 48: Tired

I am tired today. I have been coughing some this week. Season changing always gets me allergies. I am still getting up 30 minutes earlier to get some requirements done before school. One thing I have noticed is my knees and wrist are popping. My knees still hurt when I run. But it nice to see some of requirements hitting the zero mark. Since TWD is closed Saturday, I may use this time to work on my history essay.

LMP August 29

Wow..the end of August.  Feels like yesterday we were getting our books. Had a good day. My 2nd graders are beginning to learn and follow my expectations, rules, and procedures. Went to junior Tigers class and assisted.  Master Randall had a large class, so I'm happy I was able to help.  Tomorrow is Friday...Yay! Not only do I have sparring,  but my mentee will be at sparring too! Super excited to be in class with her.  Time to cuddle with my fur babies. Night all.
