Sweaty Monday

Went to the allergist the morning for my weekly shots.  They said I'm almost done with increases and should be able to start maintenance soon.  I don't know how long it'll be before I can start going less frequently than once a week but I'm looking forward to it.

I got all my physical requirements done during the day and started in on the Taekwondo requirements afterwards.  While dinner was cooking Gabe and I worked on some of those together.  Hopefully we'll be getting closer to regular speed on our self-defenses soon because we're getting more confident in the techniques.  Of course, we're only four weeks in so we're still making mistakes but we're getting better and have started catching each other's mistakes more easily.

Then after dinner, we practiced a bit for our PMAA testing tomorrow night.  Once we get past that it'll be a load off my shoulders.  Hopefully we'll all do well.

Dry Monday
