I put so much effort into tonight’s Krav Maga class that I nearly threw up… but I stuck it out for just 90 more seconds, and I made it through just fine. Shaky and exhausted, but generally fine.
A New Season of Jammies
‘Tis the season for warmer jammies!

Last fall, I fueled my new-found sewing obsession by making my son a season’s worth of jammie pants. This fall, he needs some new jammie tops, since all of last year’s long-sleeved commercially-bought tops have become belly shirts.
Recalcitrant

My son was highly displeased that I asked him to pause his Minecraft video to try on this jammie top in progress.
Another Black Stripe

Earned the first stripe on my yellow belt last night! This is also my first stripe of Black Belt Training Club (BBTC), which is essentially my long-term commitment to Krav Maga.
I’m discovering that I’m in pretty decent shape for a middle-aged former fatty. I can get a round kick up to my opponent’s head level, and my flexibility and stamina are both improving.
Feeling pretty awesome.
Status: Scatterbrained
Took my son to an eye doctor appointment this morning. Forgot to stop by the Optical Center to get him new glasses afterward. #parentfail
