Happy Tanabata!

I have done this holiday for 2 years now- not sure if it's helped spark the kiddies into being appreciative of other cultures, but...it was a mild success. I had a head start on the origami, and the dorayaki was made way easier thanks to pre-made mini pancakes...yum. And once again. I forgot to take pictures. Bah.

Karate and school have been at odds quite a bit, and my slow-healing toe is not making things easier. I study in chunks when I can. And now that it's stopped raining every day and the weather is actually quite nice, I have been getting out with my sword. It's been relaxing, even if I can't get out of iai goshi without pain :).

Being away from martial arts during the week has left me out of the loop for most things. Doc is supposed to be testing for shodan but Head Sensei was reviewing Sneezy too- not sure if this means he's testing...I'll have to mak another stamp (urgh).
