Happy Saturday! Started the morning bright and early by meeting Instructor Courtney at KT to practice self defenses that have rolls and falls. Her idea and it was a great one! Then it was black belt class and a mentor session with Master Natasya. Got my cycle requirements in for the day at home. I spent a huge chunk of my day working on my new skill, knitting. It is with large chenille so it is a little different than the small work that most knitting is. I really like it and can see me knitting regularly. Whenever someone questions my doing something like taekwondo at my age, I have always joked that one day I would take up knitting, but today is not that day. Now I have taken up knitting so I can't make that joke anymore. I can do both though! Also got some work in today. Loving the NFL playoffs this weekend. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
