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.
