TIRED

I have seriously been so tired and in pain these last two days Wednesday I seriously had trouble walking around my own house I am tired in general I've been doing so many requirements all day and later in the afternoon I go to the dojang teach and then take class and then have great workouts designed by instructor hsin and while they are hard I greatly appreciate them and thanks to him I am in great shape.  To tell the truth I am so lucky to have them they have taken me in even when they had no idea who I was master chin even though pregnant worked so hard with me and she helped me get through it all I remember the day after my ankle fractured she called me just to check up on me and when I came in just to sit and watch she let me come on the mat with my boot on and that helped me realize I wasn't useless she taught me so much so fast and she made me realize I'm not terrible at martial arts. Then Instructor Hsin accepted me and he put me under his wing (I probably butchered the phrase but that is beside the point) he taught me so much on how to teach and how to become a better person in general he changed me he helped me laugh and realize that I don't have to be yelled out to learn or be corrected a nice joke or a reassuring smile is better than anything. I am so lucky that is all I am going to bed after I log requirements in.
