Howdy y'all!
I'm Elektra Hammond.
My joy today is coming from having a terrific weekend at #confluencesff (which is a terrific SF/F Convention held in Pittsburgh every year), and discovering that there are more and more fast chargers on the route between Delaware & Pittsburgh to charge my EV.I also had a great lesson at the dojo today, although I am absolutely pooped.

Howdy y'all!I'm nervously gearing up to the Big Day (Feb 3rd, because Feb 2nd is #Writephant ) when I shift from private lessons in Tang Soo Do to regular group classes. It's like jumping into a cold pool--I want to swim, but that first chill . . .
Hubby drove from Delaware to Ohio over the weekend to visit a friend and came home exhausted, plus a cooler of ground venison. Anyone have any good recipes?

Howdy y'all.I'm Elektra. It's been an interesting week.
Making lots of nut milk, but with mixed results using my chai pot. I'm using emulsifiers to keep it from separating when I boil it . . . it's great in regular tea, though. Almond, Cashew, Macadamia, mixed . . .
Also, at the dojo today I broke my first board (elbow strike) & did some other stuff (forms, 1-steps, etc.). Ended up with a new belt.
Kitten is doing karate stretch.

TangSooDo is going well. I'm aiming at regular (group) classes starting in February.I'm up to: 6 open hand forms, 2 staff forms, 1 sword form.

What does being healthy mean to me? Have any life events like the pandemic changed that view?Being healthy is feeling *up* to going to the dojo for TangSooDo class, as opposed to dragging myself there anyway (I currently am scheduled twice a week. I *don't* skip w/o being sick).
I am more careful about spreading illness. I get vacc'd. I test/Go to the doc for testing. I've never had the plague, but I had strep & the flu in the last 2 years.

Why does Coach Silver want Rainbow Warriors to be non-denominational when it comes to the martial arts styles we study?🤔

Howdy!
I've just about got my new laptop set up (although I forgot to install my Mastodon client [Sengi]). It's a bit heavy and clunky compared to the old one, but the keyboard is great.Last week I got my friend Darrell set up on his new Win 11 machine, too.
And in the the-more-things-change-the-more-they-stay-the-same category, I replaced my katana. It started to rattle last week in class, and it wasn't repairable. I replaced it from Ebay.

Howdy!
It's been a crazy busy week since the last #Writephant - I had a minor fall, a lot of rehab and #TangSooDo and I (yay!) now own a purse I love thanks to author Gail Carriger, who pointed out it was on sale and one of her favs.The pink kitten has moved onto the work table and made it her own. See for yourself. Sigh.

Howdy!
I think I'm finally on the upswing. I really hope so.Joy--well, my new *new* pills (after the first new pills were rejected by insurance--AFTER same insurance pre-approved them) arrived today. Will start taking them in the am--high hopes that my pain control will be better.
And my Tang Soo Do master starting teaching me a new staff form, without me even asking! For those counting--6 open hand, 1 sword, 1 1/2 staff forms.

Howdy!
Today I am *joyful*. I got the all clear on my knee last Thursday, BUT today was my first day back at Tang Soo Do class. In A Month. I knocked off a bunch of rust--and it felt good! -
If choosing between a sword and shield, what would I prefer?
No contest. In my youth, I was a skilled foil fencer (I competed at the Jr Olympics & the NCAAs). In the SCA (I've since GAFIAted) I learned to wear a sword with no thought. And now I'm learning to wield a katana inTangSooDo.
Swords all the way!

@adriabailton
It's time for the Writephant!I'm Elektra. Today I'm finding joy in finally getting more comfortable in some of the Tang Soo Do basics that were eluding me.
And maybe I'm getting a handle on the dieting thing. Maybe.

Your mental fortitude is just as important as your physical aptitude! Here is our #Creed
1) To build true confidence through knowledge in the mind, honesty in the heart, and strength in the body.
2) To keep friendship with one another and to build a strong and happy community.
3) Never fight to achieve selfish ends, but to develop the might for right.

We finally got the broken garage door opener replaced, and I think I've finally dealt with getting the warranty registered [Fingers crossed. Toes, too.]
I hate dealing with that stuff--it eats your life.I had my "year end review" (translation: last class of the year) at the dojo today. Looking forward to learning even more in the New Year--to add to the 5 forms + 2 weapon forms. So glad I went back!

@adriabailton
What else is making me feel like I'm racing toward the end of the year?
Or am I unworried and unbothered?Oh, everything else here is calm and ducky.
No, wait.
Hubby is looking at retiring in June or maybe January 2026 . . . unless his job contracting at a government agency goes away for no reason. So, no stress here.
He goes to Tang Soo Do five days a week. Or more. He's there now. Stress relief.

Howdy #Writephant!
Today I'm feeling a touch abandoned because my Tang Soo Do lesson got canceled, and I didn't realize how much I was looking forward to it. TSD is my main outlet these days.My hubby installed my co-pilot's seat/bed, and my co-pilot finds it satisfactory. This brings me great joy! She is at my eye level now.

Today is another one of those mixed days--I'm dealing with confirmation that I need knee surgery.The dojo continues to be a source of joy. And yesterday I submitted a story for award consideration.
Plus, of course, kitten!

@Priyajsridhar
Today I am exhausted, but glowing. I continue to go to the dojo (Tang Soo Do, like Chuck Norris), and while it's kicking my butt (and my knee and my shoulder and my . . . ) I'm really getting somewhere. Master Kay (Evolution Karate) is an outstanding teacher.My perpetual kitten (Piper) also continues to bring tons of joy. She is lying under my table.

Howdy #Writephant !I'm still dealing with issues at the attachment between my knees and my calves--my legs are sooo tight that doing stuff is a pain-filled road. I'm working through it with PT and continuing with Tang Soo Do (lesson #10!).
I'm also getting joy from my new hat! And, as usual, my kitten/cat.

@neve
Today is a super special Monday!
I started back at the dojo today--I'm trying some private lessons to see if I can get a grounding in #TangSooDo before I try group lessons again.My "little" kitten is growing up and got spayed, but still acts like the sweetest of kittens.
And it's #bookday - my author copy of #ZNBPresents Year Two came today. It's gorgeous!
