Spent

First order of business yesterday was a visit to the Doctor to try and correct whatever it was I did to my back Thursday night.  I have him on speed dial now.   Last night after finishing my run, poomsaes, and self defenses I suddenly had a feeling I had been hit by a truck and we hit a brick wall.  ...  I woke up this morning feeling edgy. 

I met with my mentor first this morning.  She is really awesome and vey patient.  I'm so thankful because I can be a real slow learner.  We worked on Wang Ho material and Staff attack and defenses.   And went over some questions I had on forms.  I'm in good hands.  

 My back was extremely sore and tight today but I made it through Black Belt class.  We worked more on Wang Ho material.  I am so glad because I think I may actually be able to remember it enough now to practice at home.  

I stayed for sparring class.  I really do try. Sparring always has a way of knocking the wind out of me. The young folks I end up sparring always make me feel SO slow. Well, I am slow, but they always make it seem worse. 

On the upside of today, there may still be a long road to travel but one week is done.
And I had great meditation time spent in a hot tub filled with epsom salt.   

IM LATE !!! AAAHHHH
