Day 18

Today was a good day for requirements.  Gabe was off work today and, unfortunately, most of her plans got cancelled.  As a result, we were able to knock out all our physical requirements for the day before lunch.  And then she made an amazing lunch out of a bunch of different leftovers.

After I finished up with work for the day, we packed up all our stuff and headed down to the dojang.  We assisted with class, then took class, and then had our PMAA class.  We're testing for our next rank next week instead of the week after so it's going to be very chaotic trying to get everything down during the Cycle.

I really need to try to work ahead a little bit on physical requirements - my shoulders and back and arms need a day of rest sooner than October.  I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.
