Argh.

Post #aikidō

Knees hurt.
Bunion hurts (we did the 31-move kata, which involves getting down onto one knee and hyper-flexing the toes of that same foot, so you can get back up again quickly - that's the idea, anyway)

Hip and thighs aren't so happy with me, either.

Trying to hang on. It's not easy, for both physical and emotional reasons.

Gah.

I pulled a muscle in my lower leg yesterday.

It's still not right today. So, much pouting, because I also was benched during #aikidō.

*pout*

Here's hoping for a better tomorrow.

@T_Frohock *waves back* How ya been??

I managed to pull a muscle in my leg yesterday, and it still hurts today, so no #aikidō for me tonight (*pout*). Well, I'll go to the dojō but only to watch.

Hey, Knee - what's up? I don't recall having *done* anything to you, and now? I'm going to have to skip #aikidō? Because you're throwing a strop?

*gives Knee a VERY STERN look*

@AlexAloi *chuckle*

Reminds me of a Japanese friend of mine, a fellow #aikidō person, who jokingly called me an otaku, because I could find a picture to show him of my sensei, before I could show him one of my own house...

Okay, knees - I know you're there, you can stop being overwarm *any* time, now.

Post #aikidō, *sigh*

Ooof, I've been to #aikidō, and... now the legs are extra achy.

But in a good way.

@Satsuma My evening (I'll be using yesterday's evening, as I haven't got one today yet) was rather quiet, as I recovered from an #aikidō demo given as part of a local sports-and-outdoor-activities event in my town.

I'm grumbling a bit at our dōjō contact/organizer, who seems to have a vision of representation at such events that I think keeps the public at two arms' distance from the fun of aikidō.

But, at least I slept well!

@distel Quiet preparations for some time away, and the continued daily stuff, like hanging laundry. (We have a dryer, but with such good weather, still... also, I like to spare my #aikidō uniforms the extra friction of tumble drying.)

And dealing with a *very* impatient cat with a huge love of breakfast pastry flakes. He makes us laugh - usually quite timid, he'll boldly sit and STARE at you as you try to eat your breakfast, eyes following each precious bite.

Post #aikidō knees aching... will be fading away soon...

So, Shop, I've been away to my beloved #aikidō, and it's hot-hot-hot, but with a nice breeze. Maybe #shodō later, but I want to spin at my #spinningwheel some, too, seeing as I've joined #TourdeFleece2018, a "spin-along" parallel to the #sports event #TourdeFrance. Of course, these moments are prep, not the actual event.

こんにちは！今、合気道の練習から帰ったばかりです。まもなく#紡車 で#紡いでいる つもりです。#ラベルリ という社会ネットワークに#紡いでいる 仲間を見つけました。その仲間は#マストドン にも会えて、とっても嬉しいです。

Gah, I hope all those hashtags work!
