Today was a fairly typical Thursday—at least until work wrapped up. I was head counselor for the older kids and helped transport the middle group to the pool. It’s becoming very clear that the kids are ready to go back to school; end-of-summer cabin fever has set in, and their attitudes toward one another this week have definitely shown it.
There was no sparring today due to testing, so I’ll need to figure out when and where to make up those rounds to stay on track for my cycle requirements.
Even without sparring, the evening turned out great. I joined my wife, son, and in-laws for dinner at EEZ Fusion, which is always fantastic. Happy 75th Birthday, Bob! We love you and appreciate everything you do for our family.
After dinner, we headed back to their house to help glue down a countertop and wire up a new TV and AV receiver for their speakers. They had dessert afterward, but I stayed strong and passed due to my sugar restriction. The challenge is actually going really well—the intense cravings for the sweet drinks and snacks I used to have regularly are pretty much gone.
Good night, all.
