It's my favorite type of day, and yours: Payday Friday!
Also, I now have a 401k, with actual money in it! Gotta be prepared for when I'm old and crusty and can do nothing but sit on the couch and knit... good yarn is expensive, after all. ^_-
Yesterday was tiring, but in a good way. I wound up doing two wushu demos, both of which were fun. The second one was on a grass field, too, so I got to do my inside fall. :D The only bad part was that my ankle was kind of tweaking out again. Grrr, stupid ankle. I can do back sweeps okay, but some of the other techniques that require spinning on your foot are a little tough.
I finally went back to Taiji, after being out sick from class last week, and it was really good. The only time I felt totally alert all day yesterday was right after finishing the qigong warmup. Also, they put me in a group that was running through the entire short form, instead of the more n00b-ish group, so that might be a sign that I am actually getting better at this stuff. Either that, or they have me confused with someone else. ;p
Watched Survivor last night, and it was fun.
--Loved seeing how happy BJ is when he wins a challenge. All the jumping around and man-hugging and exuberance was just cute.
--Cindy the animal expert seems kind of cool, and rather handy. I'd have been asking her for tips on croc avoidance, for sure.
--Danni the stick person *frightens* me with her skinniness. And it's only Day 8! If she lasts much longer, she'll go two-dimensional.
--Shut. Up. Stephenie! All the entitlement and whining and "whyyyy can't I be on a good teeeeam??" is just... ugh! Also, try explaining what a pick is more than 2 seconds before a round, maybe? Sheesh.
--Fishmonger Lydia has won me over. So not athletic, but she's trying so damned hard! I guess I identify with that a bit. :)
--Judd also needs to have a little less Whine with his cheese. At least his whining is funnier than Steph's, at times. Also, "annoyingest"? SO not a word.
--Brianna was absolutely the right choice for the boot. She should have gone last week, in fact. What a wimpy sack of nothing. :p
--The howler monkey rocks.
My cold/flu/whatever seems to be about gone. My throat still feels dry, but otherwise, I'm good to go.
Anyway, I'm glad it's Friday. I am so burnt out on everything that is not Chinese martial arts.
