Holiday? We don't need no stinkin' holiday!

Holidays are for black belt requirements, didn't you know.  Plus we had yesterday's requirements to make up from yesterday, too.  Plus fixing food, taking the adult kids shopping, buying kleenex- you know, unimportant stuff like that.  It was four in the afternoon when I realized I hadn't opened up the door and gone outside yet.  Physical requirements, double duty forms, self defenses, and kicks, then working on essays.  Plus making up planks and pull ups.  After dinner we went back to working on self defenses.  We may do some more pomsae in a bit, but I need to determine if my knee will hold out.  I did the essay on Ki energy today and was surprised about the things I learned.  I found an article validating the pathways ki energy takes in the body, complete with actual pictures from actual cadavers.  For those of you who don't know, I love stuff like this, so to have pictures was awesome!
