Bruised

Busy day yesterday! After canceling my test two times (because I worked and had to go to my uncle's funeral), I finally, finally was able to have a mammo. Once at home, the dogs and I walked around the city, probably about one mile. Someone was fascinated to see a long hair mini dachsund, but Maui wasn't so happy to see him. Ruf! Ruf! Ruf, Ruf Ruf! And here's the clinker. I really want her to bark at people that approach, especially since I will be walking the dogs in the dark soon, and I need them to ward off anyone that gets too close. I then took my friend out for lunch ($29) and then over to the store to buy chips and diet pop ($8). Good thing I only do this a few times a year! I drove over to my Dad's house to meet my daughter. She brought her new used (2011) car over to show my mother. We wheeled my mother out of the house and she checked out the engine, trunk, seats and driver's seat. We visited for a bit, and then we went home and I made tacos for dinner. I had sparring and class, so after dinner, I headed off to the dojang. Sparring ended prematurely when I took a low side kick to the pelvis. I have a huge bruise and I am extremely sore. My master asked me if I was "taking it like a man." I guess, but I'd rather take a head kick. I wear a helmet. So, I'm at work, hobbling around, although I did walk the prescribed 10,000 steps. My daughter, her husband, my son and another friend are heading to Detroit to a preseason Wings game. And congratulations Tigers on landing a wildcard spot!
