body log & various

[tylik]

So things have been rearranged so that my usual martial arts schedule -- FSSM on, T off, W double class, Th off (well, actually I get together with Tracey and Lauren and practice wushu, but I count it as a day off anyway) turned in to Wednesday to Wednesday. Next tuesday I'll be helping Craig teach the beginning and intermediate Chen classes. As a reward, Shifu invited us to the push hands seminar yesterday we were otherwise going to miss. And I got to push hands with Shifu a whole bunch, which might even has given me an insight into something I've generally not been doing right with my waist turns... The end result is I don't get a day off until next Thursday.

Not a big thing by itself, but I'm feeling a tad bit overwhelmed, and my uterus is trying to turn itself inside out. (I don't have horrible cramps, but everything kind of tightens up, and most of my period attempts to happen in one day, which is today. Why did this have to happen on a Friday? Friday is the most intense wushu day...)

OTOH, my body does seem to be holding together, and I'm starting to see the effects of all the training. Of course, my body is still kind of absurd, and generally more visually absurd when I'm in better shape. Perhaps I will acquire a duelling scar so I can at least look more piratical.
