In both places, that is. LiveJournal account is back in use – the threaded comments and locked posts were worth it for keeping in touch with friends. This account is back in use – I’ve decided to have a public blog as well. As, oddly, a part of trying to spend less of my time [...]

Happy year of the Rat, everyone!!!
Last Thursday, I had a Discussion with the local vitaminist. One I didn’t want to have, yet blithely walked into anyway. I was foolish enough to mention that I’d stopped drinking caffeine (specifically redbull), and was therefore looking into taurine supplements. Instead of paying attention to the [...]

Thursday afternoon I pulled a thigh muscle. It was a good thing there was no dojo on Saturday, since that leg wasn’t very happy until Sunday.
On Saturday, we went to check out a martial arts supply place people in the dojo had been talking about. It turned out to be in a far [...]

Friday: No hot water.
Saturday: Very hot water, barely managed not to get burned in the shower. Dojo was excellent fun, even though I was still sore from Thursday and Ben decided to make us do rolls for half of class. Ended up doing some training post-dojo as well, which may have been non-brilliant [...]

Last week I finally accepted the obvious and bought a folding cane. My ankle’s been doing much better since, I’m down to only using it for long walks or heavy loads now, but generally it’s been very helpful for not pain overloading myself. Between that and a compression brace, I can actually keep [...]

Last week we went to the dojo, but there was no class because of rain. I froze my feet in wet tabi and got a hypothermia lesson instead. Apparently proper ninjas are supposed to know to wear wool socks. This week, there was dojo, and we went, and it was great fun. [...]

Holidays survived, with only minor pain from encounters with laundry detergents. I ought to acquire a real bedroll to spare complication in the future. Spent some nice time with Nate’s parents, acquired plastic plant pots. Got a few books for Christmas that I’d been interested in. We also got a third [...]
That was quick…

The training room is back together. Nate and I threw out 29 bags worth of trash from it on Sunday, much of which had been previously classified as non-trash. There’s more to be eliminated, but at least it fits in a closet now. On Monday I hauled a mattress to the dumpster, [...]

Saturday, we re-tried the Japanese place up the street. Mmn, salmon… Fish make me happy.
Monday, I got my gym membership taken care of. Mmn, treadmills… Much to my surprise, running was a lot easier than it had been a few months ago. I guess my health improvements were bigger [...]
Did I make it to a start?

I seem to be finally making my way out of the haze of unhealth that has permeated my life. My skin is finally healing, which was the last big problem, and I don’t anticipate any more as large as the recent ones have been. At least, not soon. Like most problems I [...]
