Armoured but Ouch!

Well, I got to put on the bogu yesterday... it was certainly fun. The Kote hits unquestionably hurt... not too badly, but its noticeable. And I need to find athletic tape somewhere for my wrists... the wrist-band I have is too thick and doesn't let me get the left kote on very well. But still, tonnes of fun... I just wish I were better. I bend at the waist (instead of keeping my back straight and my shoulders back), I forget or am incapable of stomping for the second hit in a 2-hit series, and there are beginners that have been to half as many practices as I have that are still better than I am. But many of them will stop going to practice for at least a few weeks while I'll be there... maybe I can catch up!

Sadly, no more Tuesday or Sunday practices until January... only Friday. But I'm still going to leave work early on Tuesdays for the rest of the month (just because I know there's no practice doesn't mean my work needs to know!), mostly just to get the time the hell away from here.

Other than that, Andy isn't feeling terribly well (headache coupled with cramps), so she had kinda a rough night... she woke me up a few times, but overall I don't feel terribly tired (maybe I'm just getting used to running off of 5~6 hours of sleep!). Regardless, she may be meeting my mother for dinner tonight... that could be amusing, or it could be disasterous. I hope mom likes her (not that I really care for my sake, honestly... I only care because it'd make my life a bit easier).
