Busy day

It has been a long and busy day.  House work first thing. I'm trying to stay on top of things so my house doesnt turn into total chaos while I am trying to make it through this cycle.  Then I began working on requirements.  Push ups today seemed hard to do.  I have some new grinding and popping sounds radiating from my shoulders.  Oh joy, new sounds, I have so many I could probably start a musical.

I had to take a break and move on to office work that needed to be done and some bill paying.  I always dislike bills due day... From there I had to run errands and go by the studio to take care of a few things and then visit a few client accounts.  The afternoon slipped by rather quickly. 

 I went to Belmont and helped with both classes today... Since the weather caused closings yesterday we had alot of students show up tonight.  My Mentee also showed up so we were able to take care of our makeup session since we missed yesterday too.  All this snow and closings has really got my tme clock out of whack.  I would have taken black belt class and PMAA on Tues. and then sparring class tonight in Lake Norman, but again, weather ruled and changed my schedule.   

After classes in Belmont, a fellow student and I rushed over to N Charlotte to take Black Belt class.  With a quick stop at Subway for dinner.  I met with my Mentor tonight before class... ( I dont think I can say enough how grateful I am she is so patient with me) I also stayed for PMAA tonight.   Hate to say it, but my brain was on overload from PMAA.  This section seems tough.  

And since my day was so busy I did not get my run/walk in.. Hope it is a little warmer tomorrow, looks like I am going to have to double up.  

I hope everyone's day went well.  Off for some zzzzs now. 
Last night...
Short day
