Today was a nice day. I woke up and got ready for Black Belt class, and before it started I practiced a bit of sticks and sinawalis. During class, we worked on a few kicks, and then my partner and I went through all the self‑defenses from Bo‑Cho down. We finished a little quickly, so we went over everything again just to be sure.
After class, I came back home, ate lunch, and went on a short walk before doing my requirements. Then I took a nap, woke up, and got ready to go grocery shopping. We went to a few places and ended up getting some plants too. I officially named my boxwood “Captain Board‑Breaking Bush the Boxwood, AKA BOB.” 😃 Yeah… that happened. Anyways.
After that, I helped make dinner, and once everything was done, my parents and I did some yoga and went for another walk. I’ll probably read for a bit, maybe review some poomsaes again, stream Swim, and then head to bed.
Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷
