Tuesday’s are my T’ai Chi night - corrections and push hands classes. And, as of last night, sword. It is, well, different — kind of like doing the form, kind of like playing push hands, but really neither. And at this point I don’t actually know the steps, so it’s very much confusing. But when there were 5 of us doing the first couple of moves all in unision it looked awesome.

This also means that I’m going to be rather tired on Wednsdays. I left the house for T’ai Chi at 6:00 pm yesterday and didn’t get home until a bit after 10:00 pm. I normally go to bed at 10:00 because I get up at 5:00 am. Being worn out from some 3 hours of T’ai Chi, that 5:00 alarm was a bit tough to handle. I hit snooze way too many times. Luckily I can’t actually be late for work…. (Odd thing, even sleeping in a extra 1/2 or so and leaving the house 15 - 20 minutes later than normal, I still made it to work about my normal time. How does that happen?)

In Other News:

Not much. The patio is now just an empty spot where bricks once lay. This weekend, hopefully, we are renting a rototiller and sod cutter and attacking the backyard. The plan (I believe I’ve mention it before): take that lump over there and move it to here and around that a bit. In general, make water flow away from house and garage. The ex-patio bricks will find a new use as small retaining walls and what-nots as needed. Eventually, I think I’m going to build a small, free-standing round deck.

Well, I suppose I should actually get back to work now….
