One more turning

I remembered that it's likely to freeze tonight (okay, the below 40 temps kind of tipped me off) so I just cut the last of the fresh basil. Can't say I'm complaining -- fresh basil until the end of October seems like a good deal to me. Meant to get some started inside by now...

What is it about bagua? Even if everything else goes well, it seems I'm almost never at my best for that class. Today I left my belt at home, and tried to use a really tight ace bandage instead. This worked pretty well during wushu (lots of stance practice, going through the basic combinations and holding each stance for ten seconds while Shifu went around and corrected everyone). But my back and hip got really sore during bagua, and I ended up sitting out most of Xingyi. Again. Darn it. I'm actually starting to like Xingyi (I think the pep talk Zach gave me has had some effect there -- he kind of got it to make sense).

Anyhow, making my way home (by car, I suck) KUOW was playing a show I'd heard earlier in the day. Now, I don't know if I mentioned it, but my mp3 player stopped working some weeks ago, but the radio still works, and I've more or less resigned myself to not replacing it any time soon... But, even though we've played with it a bunch, and it has been persistant in not working, I changed it over to the CD player mode (which also haven't been working) and the Carmina Burana started blasting out. Yay! I only had one mp3 CD in the car, but it worked as well. I have no clue, but it put me in a cheerful mood.
