I went and worked out today.  It's significant in that it's the first time that I've worked out since I've returned, so, it felt good to get the blood flowing again.

Speaking of blood flowing, on the wall at the gym was a flyer.  For Aikido class.

I snatched a copy of it and hugged it close, doing a demented little dance of joy.  You see, it's being taught by a 2nd Dan.  So if I get snagged by meetings, the class won't be relying on me because I won't be the instructor. 

Ah the relief.  Ah the joy. 

I'm going to MAKE time for that class.
