Slidy Stabby Slidy... Try to Say That 3 Times Fast

So I'm having more trouble with my monks spade. My shoulder still argues, but we've compromised; it hurts after, and I do it anyways. But now, I'm trying to incorporate slidy stabby slidy motions instead of just poking the guy, but my hands don't want to slide and I end up stabbing myself in the chest each time I try to draw the spade back. I'm going to have to cave and get gloves or something, even though I prefer bare hands. Pandamonium is getting here quick, and I haven't reached my goal of raising $1000 yet. But, I still have hope. My brother is coming over tonight to do some plumbing stuff, and I plan on pulling the sweet little-sister-in-a-bind clause. That'll help. Additionally, I'm looking forward to spending time in the kwoon this Saturday. I plan on getting a lot done on my spade in the wee hours of the morning. However, I'm nervous on how I'm going to perform during the dragon dance after pulling an all nighter. We shall have to see. I gave up looking for a late night course for sign language and bought a couple books (one came with a DVD!). I think I'm learning the dummied down version, but if I can ask where the nearest coffee shop is, I'm happy. I've pulled my bike out of hibernation, which my butt can attest to. I'M GOING TO HAVE MY HOUSE BACK!!! This was a goal from a couple years past, to finally make good progress on our house renovations. Well, I've convinced Nick to let me hire someone. We've finally admitted we don't have the time, so if we want this done it's going to have to be done by someone else. I'll miss the chance to do it ourselves, since I really enjoy working with Nick. Surprisingly, we work well together. But realistically, it'll take a millennium for us to do it alone. Besides, we need a house if we want to start a family, which hopefully will be in the stars at some point. And if anyone can tell me how to get this new blogger format to show the paragraph breaks, I'd be very grateful!
