Sick?
So the past few days I have been sick. Not like really sick, just cold like symptoms that don't want to fully develop into anything. I have congestion in my chest, but my nose is not stuffy (except for in the morning, but for me that's pretty normal) and my sore throat mostly went away yesterday. So... I dunno do I have half a cold or what the hell is the matter with me?
Tuesday I went to Karate and had a spaz moment during warm up. My foot tweaked out and I faceplanted in front of four black belts, my sister and Keava (the nerdy guy who bugs the crap out of me). Well, for some reason Keava fell too... only he did it twice, and as far as I know he has nothing wrong with him. "At least I'm not the only one that fell," he said.
Gade: "Well, you're the only one that fell TWICE." He didn't like that pointed out, but I had to laugh under my breath.
Went to karate last night because we are tip testing next week. I was tired from working all day and feeling off because of my "cold" so Cassie told me not to participate if I didn't think I could do it. Well, I felt okay enough that I pulled through almost everything.
Cassie was intentionally kicking the target I held for her very hard in an attempt to get me to stop and go sit down. She was thoroughly enjoying herself... until she stepped on her gi pantleg and fell on her butt. I couldn't help but laugh, and she laughed too. It was really funny. After that she stopped kicking me so hard, lol.
Toward the end of the class Gade was going over the techniques we are doing for our test Tuesday (the last one we just learned Monday!) and my brain went into shut down mode. I stood there rubbing at my eye and trying to figure out why in the hell I couldn't figure out how to do "mace and shield" with Gade helping us. Gade stopped and confronted me. "You want to go get a drink of water? You look a little out of it." I just mumbled that I didn't want to sit down. So he smiles at me, waits for a minute to be sure I am not gonna die on him and continues with the technique. My brain still is not figuring it out so I am just standing there waiting for my body to cooperate with me. Cassie growls at me to go and sit down because I can't drive home if I pass out. Gade tells me it's fine and lets me step off the mat for the rest of the class.
So I feel like a dork for not finishing class last night. I've never had to step off the mat like that before (not even when Mr Robinson was teaching me nine years ago, lol). I hope this "cold" goes away soon.
