Friggin Clutch!

I missed out on training over the weekend, and then today the clutch on the car went! GRRrr.. I thought it felt a little odd on Friday, it felt like a quarter pedal instead of the a full pedal. So it got towed off to the mechanic today which threw all of my plans out of whack and I didn’t make it to uni today nor could I get to the cake shop I wanted to get mother a birthday cake.

AND

I couldn’t make it to SHFC! GRrrr… that is now ZERO training for the full weekend. I think I will have to do some training tonight by myself. I did however end up walking to Cheazles’ place and home, so I guess that constitutes some sort of exercise. I considered making a detour to the park but I decided against it since it was going to get dark soonish.

Anyways, a get well soon and enjoy the nudity for my fellow SHFC people who also had lame excuses for not training tonight.

Sick..

I’m sick and I’m sick of uni. I’m almost at the end finally after all my deviations but this lot of assignments is just annoying me. I’ve written about half of what I need but I know that there will be another major assignment I have to start on right away too. It is all crap.

To top it all off, I am actually ill. I’m feeling a little better today but the last two days have been a bit of a grind at work. Unfortunately because of the ill health and stupid home work today’s training has been canned for me.

BOO!

*dreams of leaping over and onto walls*

I suppose I could go to the park a little later on maybe. Maybe… lets try plug away at this a little more first.

To make matters worse, Cheazles is at work and not here looking after me whilst I sulk about being sick. Why Cheazles? Why hast thou forsaken me?!

Oh… and I want these.. brought to you by the folks at Century:

Choo Choo…

Yesterday was training day for the SHFC. It was fairly laid back session, though I do have a mystery bruise. We’re trying to sort out a bit of a session plan with some core competancies before we go any further with the training. So, yesterday we did some shoulder striking, elbows, footwork, knees, legs and feet and then some locks, grab reactions and just some random beating of each other. Ended up being a nice easy session. I think the 4 hrs straight of uni had drained me a little before I arrived.

Lazied a bit today. Had a small throbbing headache all last night from about 6pm and it extended into the morning today. So instead of uni I spent my day with Cheazles who always makes me feel better.. hehehe… Yes I know.. I’m a sook.. teehee

Tonight, Amph and I made a quick 45 minute session out at the park for some vaulting, balance training, tic tacs and arm jumps. It was a good little session just to have a bit of a play and work on a few things. Amph had a little break through with his lazy vaults on one side and I think I may be slowly getting the 1-2 step for the split foot cat vault. In any case it was a good quick fun time.

Oh.. and great news… French Vanilla Ice Cream was on sale… the folks bought two tubs… that means lots of Affogatos for me!!!!!!

Woot!

Another one off the books!

That’s right… my other sister is going to be a liability to some other family! hehehe.. both sisters married off!!

GOLD!

Frutzie’s Meat Market?

Hmm… maybe I should start a dating agency. At least I can boast a 100% record currently… hehehehe..

Anywhos… so besides the pleasant confirmation of a burgeoning relationship, thus making me currently a third wheel in the SHFC, yesterday (since it’s past midnight) was training day!

To start at the beginning.. I got up early at 6:30am and dropped Cheazles into work. Then when I got home I had an extra half hour of sleep and then took the car to be serviced. Then I wasted some time and Amph came round to take me to get the car after the service. When I got the car we headed into town and got to training! Bumped into Reaver first, who got us going, and then the two love birds turned up late/later hand in hand with some one a little embarrassed.. hehehe.. Anywhos, today I got to practice turn vaults, some pathetic lazy vaults, lots of cat vaulting, some tic tacs and a few arm jumpy climb ups. All in all it was good fun and recovery time necessary should be minimal. I did however have a few shin pains which I have not had in previous sessions.

The intention tonight was to get some homework out of the way, but instead I had a visit from Rubinho! We had a good long chat, then ate some dinner and then met up with Amph and Cheazles for some more food and a dvd later.

Now it is time for sleep… and I need to dedicate today to study since yesterday did not result in any study done at all.

Exermaciseseses..

The work week so far has been fair lazy. I have had a few presentations to sit through at work, uni ate up half the day on Wednesday and today we escaped the office to visit some tenants late in the day and high tailed home after instead of plodding back into the city and then head home.

So all in all it has been quite satisfactory this week. Tonight since getting home I have managed to duck out to the park and leap around showing my ineptitude in parkour. Did some cat vaults, lazy vaults and practiced a bit of balancing while most people steered clear of me. I did however receive some company whilst doing turn vaults when a little old couple encouraged their granddaughters to attempt the same thing. Fortunately neither of them stacked too badly. Then I gained an audience while just practicing arm jumps. I guess the people at the park need time to get used to seeing my silliness. I went and found myself a quiet spot for quadrupedal and then came home to do some more cat leaps in the back yard and some precision jumping. I must say I was kind of tired and could not be bothered anymore by the time I did the precisions and so I sucked immensely. Must practice them a bit more.

Now I just need to find someone to punch for a while, then i’ll have gotten my midweek training fix. Some how I think no one is going to volunteer for the privilege, so I may just have to do my homework instead.

Lazy start to the week..

So, I am two from two this week… as in I have bludged and not attended both my days of uni. It was one of those lazy weeks, but I have to make sure I have no more of them because I’ve got assignments and work to catch up on now.

To further the laziness, I didn’t finish my 1000 steps on Sunday since it started pouring down as I reached the base of the actual stair climb and so Cheazles and I piked and headed back to the car whilst Amph powered up the hill and came back soaked through, even with his rain coat.

Now today, I had every intention to head out to the park and do some exercise… but Cheazles the great big lazy bum enticed me to stay snug and warm in my house instead.

About the only thing constructive I have done this week so far is attend SHFC. It was a good session and we will slowly escalate the intensity. Still need to find us some helmets, but looks like Chip Chip is getting some pads to replace the dodgy cushions we were belting into.

Anywhoz, beyond that Gramps has come to stay for awhile. Always nice to have the old boy here.

I should go to sleep.. work tomorrow.

Because it deserves it

Thanks to Cheazles who first brought this to my attention, and to Frank who started it and all the people who share.

It makes you reassess what really is important in life, makes you be thankful for what you have or have not had to endure or experience and makes you want to reach out and hold all whom you care for so that they know that they are appreciated and not alone.

Churning them out..

Wow, seems that Amph’s family process line is working in overdrive!

Congrats to ML!!! for… wait for it… MINI ME!! That’s right… BABY YONG!!!!!!!!

Besides that, today was training day and turned out highly entertaining.

Morning spent having breakfast and then some systema with Old Fella Spicy. Then McChippa and Amph came around and we went to the local park and I finally learnt how to kind of do the Saut de Chat! FINALLY!! Still working on it… but finally it is not completely pathetic!

Then did some lazy vaults, balance work, couple of arm jumps, some quadrupedal and then went to town. Then we ate foods, did some underbars and then finally TIC TACS!! YAY!!!!!! Was lots of fun.. always great when you feel some improvement with yourself. Fighting through mental insecurities.. always satisfying when you win. TERRIBLE when you lose. Thanks goes out to Uncle Chip Chip for the fun times as usual. Although he was tired he took the time out of his day to watch a couple of morons leap around.

Anywhoz, 1000 steps walk tomorrow and then SHFC monday night! Fun Times!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

Uncie Amph!!!

As at 10:30pm, Baby Kiera has joined the clan!

YAY FOR BABIES!

That’s some nice work there MC!
