The Holidays are drawing ever closer.

I feel rushed, and like I don’t have enough done all at the same time. I have all the Christmas presents I purchased wrapped, and a good number under the tree. Stocking stuffers are all done too. I still feel like I need to grab more stuff. These weekends feel both empty and too full all at the same time. I don’t know where the disconnect is.

Yesterday my eldest passed her taekwondo belt promotion to become a Red belt. She has completed nine of the eleven belts so far. Once you get to Black belt, the eleventh they break into their own “Dan” levels of which there are four. A fourth level Dan is a master. So while she is close to the entry level black belt, she is far from done. I’m proud she made it this far. Our original goal was the Blue Belt because that seemed so far away when she began. But now she is two belts beyond that, and still going strong. She might even make the black stripe belt by July 1st when we break for summer vacation. Who knows!?!

I had both a Flu & Covid shot on Friday afternoon and have left lousy ever since. I can feel it getting lessened by the hour which is nice. I will be back to myself before the day is through. Happy about that. Shoulder hurts from the two concurrent jabs in the same muscle. Should have done two spots, and not just localized to one! Live and learn.
