The Universe is Conspiring in my Favor

...At least as far as aikido is concerned.

I know you're all probably tired of hearing me go on about my chosen martial art, so I'll just mention a couple things:

1. Sensei chose to teach a class entirely on ukemi today.
2. Sensei never read my e-mail, because it got lumped in with the spam.

This means that a.) Sensei doesn't know how much of a goober I sounded, and b.) his somewhat random choice of topic was entirely fortuitous and had nothing to do with me. It may, however, have had a little to do with the two mighty new mukyu in attendance.

I feel much somewhat more confident about my ability to fall and not hurt myself now. I at least recognize what elements I may be missing. Now I have some more simple ukemi exercises I can do at home, too.

The leg is feeling a little weak after class, but not painful. I'm feeling pretty fine overall. Being all nervous about going back to class after two weeks was a little silly in retrospect.
