Sometimes I Almost Get It

[toosuto]

Training was good tonight, sometimes I felt like I was almost doing it right even. I am starting to worry that either I won't be able to test in July (becuase I am in and out of town for weddings) or that I will be able to test in July but will fail. And I have to admit that as a 7th (8th) kyu student I am a little jealous of my Aberdeen friends whom started training with who were promoted to 2nd kyu last weekend. I keep telling myself it's not about the rank (and it's not) but I do really want to earn my own hakama.

Portland in 3 days!

Also mrsbrewer: Your father in law mom's husband does train at my dojo. We figured that out this evening...

Technically, he is my step father . . . but since he's only three years older than I, we tend not to use those terms. I generally refer to him as "my mom's husband."

Y'know if I had spent any amount of time pondering the sentence I wrote I would have caught that. Ah well, the thinking: it burns!

And so: to bed!

See if you can get the pants too. Those are stellar.

That's the best part: the hakama are the pants trousers!
