More stuffed stuffing
Gobble, gobble! Overall Thanksgiving was a very excellent experience. My cousin, Suzanne, showed up with her family. We haven't seen her in at least two years. She's the only cousin we are in touch with (we have only three first cousins) and she lives on Long Island, but is planning on a move to Cinncinati, which means we may never see her once she goes there. Anyway, turkey was at my sister's house and everything was delish! I made horseradish carrots and a Boston banana cream pie. Super yummy!!!!
I have yet again missed a day. Some days I do not have access to a good computer or fast internet. However, this weekend I have brought home my laptop, so at least I have a good computer with slow internet service. My BIL is giving us his old computer, which will at least be better than the one we have now, which coughs and sputters and then dies, causing me to punch the screen and say foul things.
The past few days my brain basically shut off. Too much stress about moving going on and I just couldn't take it anymore. Hubby and I had a very good talk today about it, and we've decided that we will live in So. VT until the carriage house on our friend's house is liveable. Then we will move up to Westford like we have been planning. I just can't do a move where we have only one room for the three of us. Yes, there's the whole house, but it's not our house. I need my space, desperately so. If I don't have it I go a little bonkers. Staying the summer down here at least gets me through my busy season. It also allows me to train for my second degree black belt, which is planned for the end of next summer. Of course that's already started, but training is training no matter what. I'm always training when it comes to martial arts. That's just the way it is. It is my way of life.
Yeah, I've been really slack about my martial arts blog. There have just been too many other topics in need of my attention. I will say this, though, I had a very frustrating time a few days ago in the dojo with self-defense techniques. My hesitation is driving me batty!!! I wait when someone grabs my arm or my lapel. But not my neck, go figure...It will get better. I will be speaking with Sensei Bottomms this coming week about setting up some privates with him so that I can get over this already. How exciting!
Well, I certainly hope that I don't miss anymore days. The constant writing has been so good for me.
Hey, a shout out to cafeconlesely.blogspot.com! You go girl. She had a book recently published, "Dear Diary". Look it up on Amazon, or just go to her blog. Now the Aussies have invited her to their country for a book signing extravaganza! Woohoo!!!
