learnteachToday was a good day, starting from Yesterday. Things are getting done.
Had an excellent dinner with 2 lj users who shall remain nameless because I can't remember how to do their tags and Andrew the Amazingly Cute. And messy. We discussed consciousness, jobs, life, all sorts of things. Must be more social!
Then went and delivered rakes to a friend who is gardening in Santa Cruz. Was able to give her two rakes, one for her, one for her daughter. Yay!
Had a lunch date in Oakland which meant I had to leave the house by a certain time, and a roomate coming by to look at the place, so in the morning I got 3 rooms cleared and mostly sorted, the dishes done, and a picture hung. All good.
After lunch (very nice greek food) tripped around Berkeley running errands until fighter practice, which really deserves a separate entry. Did drills with Gwydion for a long time, until I saw improvement in his movement, then fought Geoffrey Scott. Besides having time to rhyme, the fight was right for Gwydion, who won three straight. I was not so fortunate, but they were excellent matchups. The drill is to fight slow without letting your arm bend at the elbow past 90 degrees; so you have to be in close, and move your body, to put the shots in. Gwydion still has a problem hitting through; we worked on that as well, then on some footwork (very briefly) for passing in front of your opponent.
Off to the dehydrator, then to bed. Tomorrow ride, massage, plan trip, dance!
