The Waiting is the Hardest Part

FY, anything new with you?

Thanks for checking in Tori.

My TKD class that I will be running at my workplace has been moved forward one week, so I have a little more time to prepare. I've started to throw some thoughts together for the March 15th Lunch & Learn presentation I have to give to sell myself and my class. If all goes well the actual class starts the following week!

My youngest sister (wife's best friend) asked me to train her in martial arts because she wants to get herself in shape. Last Wednesday was her first session. A beginner, she's actually helping me get back in tune with working with students who have no experience. She's reminded me what I can and cannot expect with noobies, and how best to tailor my curriculum to accommodate them. I hope she continues.

I went to the Chicago World of Wheels show with my brother tonight, it was huge and we had a good time. He told me about the new job he is soon starting, which offers a higher wage and better benefits. I'm very happy for him because I know finances have been tight for him and his family. My wife invited her GF over to our house, and they cooked dinner and drank wine together.

Thank you for your posts...they are always so encouraging and uplifting.

You're very welcome. Your behavior through your entire sitch has been exemplary. I'm proud of you, and you should feel proud of yourself!

Have you thought about doing something different with your W? Maybe you can both sign up for a class?

I'm not sure what I can do different with W. She is cool to me, and prefers to not connect any more than necessary. I doubt she would join a class with me. One night she was working out in our home gym, and when I came down to join her she mumbled something and left. I hadn't yet worked up a sweat, so I know that wasn't the problem! It seems I'm cooties right now.
