Random impressions of a crazy week

Ok, I'm back from the craziest week I've had in a loooong time. Not sure when I've been this busy! So no long thoughts this week-only impressions. Maybe it'll slow down now for more long thoughts to come:) I still had work of course, and my usual classes, tues and thurs early mornings, and worked out monday. I confess the rest of the week was a washout. Oh well--was trying to get at least the minimum of sleep and wasnt succeeding either! But here it is, my week. Mon--helped out with classes. This was cool, got to help teach forms. Its hard when the eye for detail starts to work--how many things do you give someone to work on in one form? What do you work on for now and what do you let slide? I also learned I'm glad neither Sihing Krebs or Sifu Leisk like to get up for early class and lead warm up:) Thats intense! Tues-had our kayak drop in class at Grant McEwen, get home very late. Hot tubs are great--chlorine doesnt like me, and I still panic with my head under water especially when I'm strapped in to a boat. Sigh Wed--had a gardening class at Alberta Hospital greenhouses way the heck and gone on the north east side of the city. Thats a cool place to check out--Doug, the head gardener, has banana trees, pineapples, coffee plant...theres nothing he's not willing to try. Learned alot. Thurs--Seans boss was up for an award(which he won) so we went to the Contractors Banquet downtown. Late nights on thurs suck when you work the next day, and why do fancy do's like this always start with weird mushroom soups? Also, I've been having some trouble with my feet in the past year, and a night of high heels DOES NOT improve them. Fri--Sihing class and I Ho Chaun classes-the most normal of all! Sifu gave us things to think about, mental training, fixing a problem we are all having in our forms (coming down to 6 harmonies) that should also help fix footwork issues, and then some grappling to play with. So that was my life in a nutshell. Hopefully more thoughts to come soon. LATER ADDITION--forgot to mention kungfu bruises in a sleeveless dress bring interesting questions...
