Saturday

So disappointed I missed both Thursday and Saturday class with Master Hama sounds like it was awesome. It was a stressful adventure getting to DC, needless to say we were due to arrive at 4:30 on Thursday which turned into 1:130am in Baltimore, finally got to hotel at 2:15 then had to be up at 6. Spent the morning with Chaplin Sama to which we were grateful for the beautiful service and my brother is now at his final resting place atop a hill over looking the Pentagon. Coincidentally his office was at the Pentagon for years and the street in Arlington is named Grant which is also his grandsons name. Once everyone got back to hotel most took off for the Mall to visit many of the monuments but sister and I hung back. She needed some quiet time with her book so I took off for a run then found a little park to knock out some requirements. The bugs started having me for lunch so ended up heading back and took a much needed nap. Got back this afternoon then had to take the other half down to tailgate. By the time I got home the intention was requirements however my body and mind just said no. Grabbed some take out sushi, got all unpacked, took furball for a walk then Mr. Sandman kidnapped me. Hope to be back on track and focus tomorrow.
