Driving home from another late night from work tonight, I almost #2′d myself when, suddenly, my passenger side mirror exploded and face and antlers of a deer smashed into my front passenger window.  It happened so fast, I didn’t even have time to freak out.  I never saw the deer in the front, and I never saw him in the rear view after the impact. 

I don’t know what deer have against me, but the same thing happened last year; only it was on the driver side.  I’ve never been a deer hunter, but I’m thinking about taking it up.  I need some revenge.  I’m losing the battle 2:0.  :)

Oh well, I get to talk to the insurance man tomorrow.

This week was bad for karate again. Monday was MLK day, so the armory was closed.

Tuesday I managed to train my paduan and have my small adult class.
Tania and Tommy showed up. We had a short class concentrated on using
the hips more effectively. After that, I had them do some of the drills
on the shodan exam.

Thursday was preempted by work. I went in at about 7:30am and didn’t
leave till almost 10:30pm. Obviously, I was unable to make it to the
dojo.

I’m still here.  Unfortunately, it’s been a bad start to the New Year. 
The entire family has been very sick since New Year’s Eve.  On top of
that, I got a killer case of Pink Eye (bacterial) in both my eyes.  I
have two days of antibiotics left.  Hopefully it will be gone by then. 
Until yesterday, I couldn’t walk more than about 100 feet without
having to stop and rest.  I honestly don’t remember being this sick
before.  I should be back to normal, relatively, by next week;
hopefully.
