And it's not like a thousand nice and some ugly things haven't been happening all around! October is such an insanely fast mouth. Today is the 17th and I STILL haven't managed to post the sets I was supposed to launch at the start.
Doggy school is going well. We need to learn to focus, an all-around issue. Kisha is brilliant up until the point the instructor comes over to see the progress. Then everything else is more important than the task.
Karate is going even better. The General is frustrated by his lack of skill and refuses to comprehend we've been going for exactly a month. I try to remind him of what my own performance was like a year ago, compared to now, and he dismisses me, since normally I am a potato anyway, and he is the Goatland Thor. But the instructor - and his own mentor, who has been joining us - are so good at teaching, we cannot wait for each next lesson.
I've seen some good movies, read some great books ... Not 'written' quite as many ... don't remind me. But overall, there is always something. Something delicious, something that makes me exhausted, something that gets me up at 4am and knocks me out at 10pm. And everything in between. Such sweet hikes, birthday parties, coffee and cakes with friends or alone, moon phases, sunsets, music and angry days. All of it. Rushing through me like a nighttime train.
