From the trenches

Day one: down. Chernobyl Red: sort of down, but hanging in there.

I can no longer feel my butt muscles from all the glute squeezes, and that's a good thing. Because if I could feel them, they would probably be on fire.

The arnica tablets are, I believe, helping. I don't remember feeling this okay after my one day Suhaila workshop twelve years ago when I was in much better shape. So that's encouraging. I've massaged some arnica gel onto my hips, quads, and shoulders. I've taken two advil with a large glass of water. I just finished up a glass of wine and at 8:56 p.m. I'm headed to bed.

Two more days to go.

Fetish misses you!!! She's such a sweetheart. All she mews about is you. :)

We miss you, too. Glad you're hanging in there!

Arnica is a godsend - it's what got me through Aikido. I envy you the Suhaila time - what workshop are you taking?

It's the Level One three-day workshop. But I won't be testing for certification. No way!!! Maybe after I've gone through this same workshop another two times. Maybe.

I'm sure it is a fabulous and difficult and draining experience.

Sleep well, my pretty pretty.
