So, I skipped a day. Yesterday was such a long day for me that I got home & looked at the computer & then went to bed. The karate academy didn't have class yesterday & instead had the black belt physical fitness test for those that are graduating at the end of the this month. My daughter had already taken & passed her test but we decided to both do it yesterday for lack of anything else to do & because we both needed the exercise. Cue cold, rainy, nasty day...
Both of us participated in the various exercises, both of us passed, and both of us ran the mile in the gross weather afterwards. I can't even explain how cold we were after but feeling accomplished over rules that.
We didn't have time to even get home & grab a late lunch because we had to shower and be back in a neighboring town for a parade of lights. We usually drive one of our local pageant competitors that's family in the parades and let me tell you, EVERYONE got wet from the rain at that point, especially our family member sitting on top of my car. I think afterwards that was eclipsed by a yummy pizza dinner though so all was well. :)
Slept well, dreamt of nothing that I can remember, and woke up stupidly early to be at a friends house who graciously gave up her day off to deal with my pain in the ass hair. Let me tell you, this girl needs to go up for sainthood because after all was said and done and I was at home I decided to make a further request of her. I'm really surprised I didn't get strangled through the phone but I love her dearly and she's great at what she does. I certainly wouldn't have that much patience with me.
All in all, it was a good day but I'm just grumpy from not eating since breakfast. I had a little snack when I went to get my daughter but it's dinner time so I'm going to go eat & then hopefully just relax a bit for the evening. This week is going to be slammed with appointments and class and getting ready to leave over the holidays. I'm actually hoping this week moves as fast as last week did so we'll see.
I'll end with this brief quote (can't remember where I saw it or who said it) because I feel like I've done all that I can do to make the end of my relationship and the rough days that followed into something positive and I'm making the best out of whatever possible next beginning is in store.
"The end of a relationship is a brief window of opportunity because when nothing is certain, anything is possible. Every ending holdings the seed to another beginning. Let it grow".
