I feel like I was cold all day long today. Finally got warmed up in sparring class and then it was time to put our sparring gear on. Where was mine? In the back of my car...where it had been since last Thursday.  Care to guess how cold my hogul--no idea if I spelled that correctly-- was when I put it on?🥶🥶😂😂  Won't make that mistake again! Busy day in classes again but a good one. Lots of good work, helping our color belts get ready for their test in a couple of weeks. Prepping for Junior Instructors Camp this weekend too. And at the end of the day a call from my youngest, checking in on his mom.  Wonderful way to end the day. See you in class!
