All things with time and practice

It feels so good to be back practicing again. I was really out of it for a number of weeks. It feels even better to be a student again, at least for part of the class. Being the instructor definitely takes its toll. I'm learning how to execute moves I thought I would never be able to do. They're not overly practical in a "street" situation, unless one wishes to make an ass out of one's self and give your opponent something to laugh about and tell his kids. ("Yeah, son, you should've been there. Me and my buddies were just hanging around, minding our own business when this weirdo comes down our alley and tries to attack us. Well, he did some sissy yell and then jumped up in the air, twisted all around and fell on his ass. Me and my buddies laughed so hard that we couldn't even chase him after he got up and ran off.") In any case, they're nice to look at when done correctly.

I found some additional time this morning to practice staff and bare hands and then all 8 of the colored belt forms along with Koryeo. I was getting too hot and tired so I skipped the next three. I'll save those for another day. Interestingly enough, I had an audience for at least part of the "show". When I went out, this fellow was standing in his kitchen in his boxers, getting something out of his refrigerator. I start the staff form and when next I look in that direction, the light is off and I can just see him standing in the corner by the window, peering through the curtains. After I switched to the bare hands form, he slipped away. (No, I don't mean he died, though he could have from boredom and I never would have known it.)

The day was otherwise spent at work, hurrying from one project to the next. Only at lunch did I have any quantity of time seated. I also feel it relavant to say that anyone who uses a printer should try and discern what kind of paper is in said printer prior to calling tech support and complaining that the printer is printing two print jobs on one sheet. "Yes, ma'am, it does appear that way, but I think that would be because some has put used paper in your paper tray." *shrug* Oh well, if all the questions were hard, what would we aspire to solve that was even more difficult?

I seem to be about out of steam for this evening, which is fortunate considering the temperature in here is already higher than I'd like. I'm hoping it will cool off again like it did late last week. I guess we'll see. Of course... "Could be worse....[How?!]...Could be raining." (Source page is here.)
