(YAAAAAAWWWWNNNNNNN)! It never fails….every Tuesday, I throw myself 110% into my martial arts bjj, Kendo and Adult sparring, collect 2-3 fresh black and blue marks, end up being knocked all over the place…and then just cannot get to sleep.
It’s quite maddening, really - finally I get home, I crawl into bed, I witness my 382 new aches that keep my muscles continuously nudging me and quietly bellowing "So you just hadda say, c’mon, is that all you got?"….and my body joyfully responded, sleeping is a forbidden activity here! Wheeeee!

(YAAAAAAWN) (STRRRRRRETCH) Oh hi! Nice to see you back!
How was your weekend? Mine was a delightful utter bone-chilling agony as I had to teach my eldest quite a painful lesson in time management ("painful" because it involved me being el Tougho Mom and allowing the kid to experience the academic consequences).
