Today, our washing machine decided to shit the bed. New gear case and clutch assembly are on order, as the tech who came out said that our Whirlpool is “built like a tank” and is worth fixing.

Then and Now
Seeing Connor with Baxter this morning reminded me of a similar vignette nine years ago as he stood at this same window with Mei.
I miss that kitty. Come to think of it, sometimes I miss that toddler, too.
Twitter Update: Ready
I‘m up before sunrise on a Saturday. Morning coffee is on board, as are my vitamins and some ibuprofen for good measure. I even ate breakfast. I’m wearing camouflage workout capris without socks, and it’s 28F outside.
Wish me good skills on my Krav Maga black belt test! 🥋😳
Twitter Update: On a Quest to Be My Best!
Surprised myself this morning by passing the fitness portion of my Krav Maga black belt test, despite a bad back and a bum knee.
Forearm plank: 2m21s
Push-ups: 27 in 2 mins (!!!)
Body-weight squats: 90+ in 2 mins
Much gratitude to Daniel Turner’s Karate America for pushing me to be my best! 👊🏻
Status: Pinch Hitter
Well, that was something: I got to lead Connor’s black belt boot camp briefly this morning while Mr. Turner was attending to a sick/injured student.
