The only problem with a really good capoeira lesson is that it inevitably leaves me utterly flattened afterwards. Which isn't bad because afterwards is usually getting home at 8.15 or so, but utterly flattened and good for nothing. Including doing my Western Civ quiz that I should have done if no other reason than to get that grade up a bit. As it is I need to do the exam before 1pm today or I really will need to drop the class. Vastly annoying. Two weeks sick, not doing much of anything. If it had been a class I was taking in college I probably would have at least tried to drag myself in and sit and listen, or I would have made arrangements, but you can't do that in a class of thousands of people. Urgh. Ah well.

Ran up against the end of my Japanese book this morning, the first one, which means I guess writing down all the grammar points and trying to figure out which ones I need to review and which ones are pretty reflexive. Like ~wa ~desu. It's simple stuff I guess but no harm in making a list and figuring stuff out, yes? Yes. And then reviewing endlessly. Eeeendlessly.

(The problem with a really good capoeira lesson is the next day my everything from the waist down hurts. It's been months and this is still the case. It's slightly reassuring in that my mobility is much less affected, it hurts but I'm not stiff, and in that at least I know I've been working out. But owwww.)

Somewhat less flaily today about all the stuff I have to do, need to do, writing-wise, knitting-wise, everything. I wonder if yesterday it wasn't because I had capoeira in the evening and thus my day was going to be longer and that was freaking me out. Wouldn't entirely be surprised. In any case, stuff to do, things and stuff. Exercise happening in the evenings so I can sleep in and do stuff in the mornings and swear around the house all grr why do my legs hurt argh. Yarn has been ordered for the sweater! One of the advantages to working in/owning (not that I directly own but the social dynamics are the same) the local yarn shop, or one of them, is being able to look over the seconds lists from vendors and go ooh that's Brown Sheep Lanaloft at $1.50/ball (~30% of cost of a decent yarn, for the non-knitters) yes I'll take 10. Our seconds' bin of discounted yarn was looking a bit light anyway, we keep it around for people who want to practice or learn or just do silly stuff with decent quality yarn. It says 'slubs' but I've worked with a lot of seconds yarn from Brown Sheep, their idea of non-full-price saleable yarn is more than good enough for me.

I have some worries about whether or not the boy will be able to make it through work tonight, but at least he's spent most of the past few days resting. And I still feel healthy, which feels amazing and miraculous. I'm getting stuff done at the clip I expected, normally, to get stuff done. Slowly realizing that not only is this the culmination of being sick for two weeks, it's the culmination of being sick for two weeks, recovering from a pet death and financial insecurity and a few other stressors before that, recovering from DragonCon before that, recovering from DragonCon prep, recovering from Nanowrimo, recovering from... So it's not been all bad, but it's actually been several months of monofocusing or pushing or stressing or so on. And now I've found a balance. Um. Happy New Year to me? (Yes, it's New Year, shush, I have a few different New Years.)

I might not even have to lay out a to-do list today to keep track of how many different things I have to do today! Woo-hoo!
