I was showing a few of the newbies at the kendo club I attend how to parry strikes, and I got a little distracted by some thoughts in my head. A few seconds later, I am clutching my wrist after receiving a full strength strike there from one of the newbies. Apparently I told him he could come at me without even realising it, and by the time I realised I had to block it was too late and I only managed to make his strike glance off onto my wrist. It was getting swollen and it kept hurting so I went ...

It's amazing what 7 hours of sleep per day can do for my health. Managed to put the 3kg I lost back on, and my headaches and vomiting have disappeared as well. No longer being on the verge of a hospitalisation also seems to have done wonders for my writing, as I actually managed to get 2 chapters of a Knight-run/FSN fic I'm writing on a Korean typemoon community done.

As for me, I've begun to seriously think about going back to the public sector after this quarter is up. This is the third time ...

Why does it feel like my physical abilities have deteriorated a LOT compared to a few years ago? Actually I think I was fitter back when I was 13 than I am now. The reason I thought this was because I played a game of tennis yesterday, and got thoroughly wiped 6-1 6-2 to someone I used to beat without dropping a game.
