Part of autism but completely illogical.
I felt like I was facing the firing squad and got a last minute reprieve, yet it was a nice nurse who I like coming to help me out, which I asked for.
Hard not to feel a bit s**t about that.

Thanks for the kind words though.

WHAT DO I GET MY PARENTS FOR CHRISTMAS ???

^ and mine.

Get crystals!

I would like to eat one kiwi fruit and not nearly a whole container for myself like I did once around last week, I think.

I was thinking about Karate recently, and thought I'd share a story or two.

The reason I stopped was because I couldn't handle the stress of the gradings. Plus I kept hurting myself while pushing myself to the limits. I hurt my tailbone one time, on a gym mat, which are as hard as the floor, and it still flares up sometimes to this day.

Plus on one of my last gradings, I had to do a breathing, slow moving kata [pattern of moves] while the senseis [teachers] wacked at me with shinai [bamboo sticks]. One of the blows was to my stomach, and I could barely breathe. So, yeah... They didn't go easy on me for being small, skinny, and kind of fragile in a wiry sort of way, that's for sure.

Oh, oh, I have a story about the first tournament I participated in. I only entered in I think two in total, and in the second I won the trophy, but that's not important now.

So, I was only a yellow or tan belt at the time, so a newbie, more or less, and that was back in the day when grappling was a part of the class [it's banned now in tournaments, at least here]. I refused to give up, even while wrastling big boys twice my size, while all the parents except my mum were yelling things like 'take him down!' and stuff like that, not realizing I was a girl. So when I won my first gold medal for trying so hard, right in front of everyone, it felt awesome.

That's wicked! Be glad you're not into BMX & skiing in that case, my tailbone's continually in the process of remaking itself from dust.

I think martial arts should be part of school curriculum as it can teach great discipline imo

I miss my XH so much. It’s odd to miss somebody you see every day and talk to regularly. It’s odd to have to act as a virtual stranger to someone who knows everything about you. It’s odd to have something as heartfelt as children in common with them.
