Thursday....yup
Aug. 11th, 2006 06:32 amWork was steady..nothing to heinous and things got done at a good pace. Got home and took a nap. I was so tired from the night before and with testing I figured I should. I awoke to hear mel tinkering in the kitchen. He made himself a nummy dinner of pork chops/potatoes/onions while I had toast and yogurt. I didnt' want anything heavy before the test and I'm glad cause even the PB was fighting back so bad I had to take tums when I went to bed.
My test was after the orange belt testing. Theirs did not go so well, I guess their sword forms were bad. I dunno, I couldn't tell but they couldn't keep in sync which isn't required but it is nice. So, they kep screwing each other up by waiting etc. I took my test in front of the entire class, which was fine. I had two faubles and they weren't so bad. Sifu Paul said it was one of the best white belt tests and mel was amazed my falls looked so good considering a week ago I couldn't do a back fall. I was very sore to start with and class continued to not help with that. I learned part of 1st form and was hoping to get more of it..hopefully today.
Got home from class and mel and I had a few beers and talked. I finished up the under tunic for the second time and I need to take out two seams again and let them out. It was just a hair too tight...not too bad. I will be cutting out my middle coat today...hopefully that turns out okay.
So, I need to hunkerdown and make sure I get everything done today since I am leaving early and I really, really need coffee. I was fighting with obsidian this morning cause she had crawled underneath one blanket and was trying to snuggle around my knee and I didn't want that. she kept crawling back under and then butterfly started the morning feed me chorus. Ugh. Even mel was annoyed by the cats and threw a pillow at them to shut up. He's home, still sleeping. He's gonna clean the kitchen, get dinner on and start sewing his new caftan for ME feast.
EDIT: ITS EMPANDADA FRIDAY!!! WOOT!
