Today, I was very very sore. I usually get hit with muscle soreness, or at least the *worst* of it, thwe day after-after I do something really strenuous. Today, I was late for work, because I hobbled/limped the whoel way there. I cheated going hom by getting a drive with mom up to the mall, to try and buy a ticket for Joel to LotR, but they were sold out. I took an hour and a half long bath, though, andthat seems to have made it less painfully stiff. now the trick will be remembering not to sit in the same place all night. I must wander randomly around the house!

How did I get to this point?

Tuesday morning, I woke up, and it felt like I had pulled a muscle or something in my left hip, in my sleepo. That night, I went to Kung Fu, where we did insane kicking drills. I couldn't do any dragons because after the requiste two minute of horse stance (which I also couldn't keep up), I felt that trying to move my hip that way would cause a lot of tearing. I was so tense from work that day that I also pulleda muscle just trying to figure out the basics of a takedown move that we were being shown, let alone actually trying it. A shame, because I had to sit that whole part out :/ I think I did get a bunch more of the moves for the first form (Fook fu? Am I spelling that right? Shan?) down, but I'm too crippled from the waste down to practice much. *does butterfly hands, maybe*.

Anyway, yesterday, I was sore, as expected, and I did a lot of stretching last night so as not to be super stiff today. It seems to have mostly worked.... My right leg is more or less fine. Still stiff, but not as much as it could have been. The horrible state of my left I can only blame on its pre-kung fu condition. I hope it is okay tomorrow, though :/ I think my principle is sound, but I shouldn't work my body so hard, maybe. It makes me feel like a big wussie, though. I know that I couldn't handle doing it two nights a week. I don't think I could even make it up all the way to the SUB tonight, for instance. I blame work, all the hours of standing, in bad shoes. Which is not good, because that sin't going to be getting any better for me in the forseeable future, except maybe the shoes part. I don't want to be a wussy crippled gimp. *sad*.

I want to be an Ass-kicking, Dancing, Pirate Queen!
