Ugh, long night…

Last night I got in my car to head home from work, and I noticed that my car was running a little warm. I stopped at Thornton’s and decided that since my car was long overdue for an oil change I would check it to see how it looked.

It’s probably bad when your oil line is barely above the LOW line on the stick. I drove directly to the Grease Spot to get a change and top off. That took about fifteen minutes, so by the time I actually made it home I had ten minutes to take the dog outside before changing to head to Mapleton.

It was a decent workout in Mapleton last night, Sensei Hartman let me run the class through some basics. I elected to have everyone try blocking with reverse punch since we had a fresh batch of blue belts, and everyone got it really well. I was *really* shocked about that, but we have a good group over there anyway.

The second class we did basics, Raleigh and I worked on black belt basics while the rest did more intermediate level basics. We then broke into kata groups, where I got assigned to work with the blue belts. I’m going to be really good at Heian Sandan by the time we have no more blue belts in Mapleton, because I seem to get them every chance I have. This is not a problem, because I enjoy Heian Sandan unlike most others (from what I hear).

After Karate I headed home and decided it was finally time to finish up decorating the basement. I put some dinner on and went down there and did my thing (again, if you want to know what you have to come over and see). I ate some food and then decided it was time to start moving the furniture back into a good configuration since the paint in the living room was dry. I got the futon and loveseat put back, however I had absolutely no luck wrestling the entertainment center into submission. I’m going to need another stout body to help me with that one.

By this time, it was a half-hour after Tasha should’ve been home and she wasn’t, so I decided to watch some TV. Drawn Together is about one of the funniest new shows around and the new season of South Park is pretty great too. Tasha got home about 11:30 last night, and we decided to quickly hit the bed. I must’ve been tired, because this lead to getting up ten minutes late today.

That’s all for now, I will likely update a little later on today.
