Monday - Monday & we all fall down

So the weather said it was supposed to be 73 and partially cloudy today... great weather for an outside shoot.   I want to be a weather man, cause even when you totally get it wrong, you still get paid.   I managed to shoot 3 kids and the bottom fell out. Not sure it even got close to 70 until late this afternoon.  So the morning started with a scramble trying to adjust for the weather and wobblers who obviously didn't want their pics made in the rain....

 Anymore I hate journaling, seems it is all negative.. So, before I continue, I am SO happy I woke up this morning. Pain and all. LOL.   Between a toddler and a set of steps I think I have pushed my knee over the edge.  It was already acting ugly after last Thursday's shoot, then the 5K on sat I think was another little push, well the slip down the steps while trying to keep a wobbler from busting his head, I think that did it in.  Walking is a bit difficult right now.  I've done the RICE since I made it back to the hotel.  I have it wrapped and am trying desperately to get thru some poomsaes and self defenses.  They are by no means being done with good stances based on the standing is difficult issue.     I really want to go train in Leland one day this week.  Today, I'm not sure that is going to happen.    waaa waaaa waaaa....  I'm getting tired of hearing my own self.  I so wish my body would just take a break and quit coming up with new issues.    So tomorrow is a new day... bring I on !   Good night all.
