I'm BORED!!! There's fluid under my cappella from where sempai's four year old hit me in the knee with a kodachi whilst we were doing kendo no kata (ippon mae, so I was in jodan) and I can't train! Bad enough it's a week before iaido/jodo nats but damn, usually my routine is thusly: get up early, have a piece of fruit & glass of water, do chi kung (or qigong, whichever spelling takes your fancy) for twenty minutes, tai chi for ten minutes, maybe some back stretches, catch the train to town then a thirty/forty minute walk to work with maybe a coffee at the markets half way there if I'm feeling decadent, then training three or four times a week.

You know what my routine now is? Get up three quarters of an hour later. Catch train to town, five minute walk to bus stop, go to work. Come home, ice knee in front of TV. Gah! Insomnia from not training and getting that physical work out usually takes me like a week. This time it took two freaking days. And my knee hurts. And I can't prepare for gradings and damn, I have so much work to do. And I'm listless. And it HURTS! Physio (which I can't afford on Monday after work). And anti-inflammatories (which I can't afford) tomorrow. Bored, bored, bored. Tired. Not tired. Had it not been for the week of seminars, the course of action would have been rest it for two/three (or more) weeks. I'm not even meant to be walking on it much!

In the last twelve months I've had asthma which put a stop to kendo for months (blessing in disguise cos it's how I started jodo), then pulled my traps which put me out of everything for months. Now the cappella. *begins to smack head against desk*. I think it's kendo. I really think some higher power doesn't want me to do kendo especially.

I know, I know, keep positive, utilise visualisation of kata whilst unable to train, etc.

Thanks for letting me rant

I'm gonna go blow more raspberries on the cat's belly. That'll make me feel better. He pretends he doesn't like it by doing things like growling or attempting to eat my head but I know he does, really
