No Candles Today

It's finally Friday!  We're at the end of week 6 and, I suppose, officially halfway through the Cycle.  It's also my birthday which is ironic given that the first day of week 1 was our wedding anniversary.  For my birthday I did something I don't normally do and treated myself to a lunch out.

After work I packed up all my stuff and headed down to the dojang for sparring class.  I really like the way Instructor Max teaches things differently than Master Evins - it's always helpful to get a different perspective and train in different ways.  We did a lot of new stuff and I think it was both fun and educational.  Afterwards we came home, had dinner, and worked on Cycle stuff for a bit before it was time to get everyone ready for bed.  Gotta get to bed early tonight as we've been told to show up 15 minutes early for Black Belt class in the morning.  Assuming we survive, we'll probably go out and do something for my birthday over the weekend.

Sparring fun
