I'm feeling good again today. It's finally become winter here in the NY metro area, and somehow that makes me feel like things are right with the world, even though I hate cold weather.
I had a slight emotional situation with the GF yesterday; nothing major, just a misunderstanding that was quickly resolved. I have been talking about buying a Roomba robot vacuum cleaner for months, because I like clean floors but I hate to clean them. Yesterday, I finally ordered one. Somehow, my GF's female brain interpreted the purchase as an unspoken criticism of her domestic prowess, and got hurt feelings. A 5-minute conversation was enough to put her at ease (I think). I can't shake the feeling that her reaction was related to things that happen to her every 28 days or so, but of course, I can't say that to her. Women...meh. Sometimes I think it might be easier to be gay, except for that whole "having sex with men" thing.
Anyway, kickboxing last night was pretty intense, and I hated life while it was happening, but I feel OK now. I suspect that I'll be pretty sore tomorrow. For today, I'm enjoying the feeling of the pre-soreness fatigue, because it tells me that I did something worthwhile yesterday.
The owner of the dojo threw his sales pitch at me last night, and I found myself agreeing to come to a free karate class tonight, to see how I like it. I'm not sure if I have it in me to be a good martial arts student; I'm a grown man, and I've been through a lot in my life, despite my age. I've been married, divorced, had kids, served in the military, fought in a combat zone, watched some of my buddies get killed, and fired a weapon at another human being. I'm not sure if I could muster up the necessary respect for a person who has done nothing but teach karate for his entire life. I guess we'll see how it goes.
I hope everyone is doing well today.
