Day 15

Welcome to Week Three.

I think I managed to catch up on all of the requirements I let slip last week.  Who knows how sore I'll be in the morning.  Of course, that'll probably fade out after an hour (or less) passes.  Also, I managed to get through a Black Belt class with my one knuckle locked out.  One day down and (supposedly) 41 more to go until I only have to wear this thing at night.  I really need to find out if I'm allowed to make a proper fist at that point.

We'll see how tomorrow's practice goes but - at least for now - it might be awkward but I can hold a short stick and I can hold a staff.
