Birthday Blackbelt?

So today was a productive day. I reviewed stuff for my test, did some throwing, and almost killed my big toe. Serious- it bent in two directions. Thank you, ligamentous laxity. Other than spraining my big toe off a tai-otoshi with Sarge, it was a good day. Batta got ranked in aiki, so he's no longer a bottom feeder in anything, and I got some badly needed training for my future ukes. It's a good thing...getting them away from the kids. Head Sensei says end of July is impossible, and so is beginning of August. I told him the end would be the best time, so it's looking like I have my black belt test on my birthday. Woot.
