Half way to Black Belt

Last week I took my Purple Belt test. I was sooo nervous, I've never been that nervous before. I think it was because we practiced so much for the show in August and then rushed to learn everything before the test. Bu Kwang Ja Nim is such a good teacher that I passed with mostly E's. I didn't get to the belt presentation so BKJN gave me my belt last night before Tai Chi. I also got a new sash for Tai Chi- Green.

We are learning a new form in Tai Chi-the Chen Movement. It is totally different than the Yang movement. A lot more depper stances and quicker. I am not sure how I feel about it yet. Last night was the 2nd class.

Last Thursday I went to the foot doctor for my Turf Toe. Dr. Nuss- he's really nice, he has worked on Pete Rose, Paris Hilton and other famous folks. He gave me a shot in my foot and said the reason my Turf Toe is taking so long to heal is because of the Fibromaligia. Thanks!

That night I went to bed at 8pm and good thing because, Mother in Law called and said Uncle was dying. K said he couldn't go and watch him die. Well, being the nice girl I am, I could let MIL be by herself, so I went to the hospital. MIL took a nerve pill before I got there, at 2am she was upset so I told her to take another one. SHe later started getting sick at her stomach. I called DH and told him to bring sick stomach pills for her. She took one and then basically passed out on me in the other bed. Uncle passed away at 3:27 am. This was the 1st death for his Nurse, since I had been there with My Flossie, I was a pro.... I called DH afterwards and have him come be with me, I had to sign the death certificate and other paperwork since MIL was out cold.... We didn't get to his Nanny's till after 5am. I then had to take care of everything the rest of the day.
No sleep, death, grave, funeral clothing, services.... What am I missing out on???? SLEEP!!!! Oh yeah, found out MIL had taken a total of 3 nerve pills, no wonder she was out cold!

The day of the services MIL passed out as the pallbearers were taking Uncle's body to the hearse. Called the ambulance to come get MIL and take to her the hospital. Wonder what kind of pills she took? She was put in the hospital for dehydration and exhaustion, extreme....
She was out before 8am the next day. Extreme...

I still haven't caught up on my sleep even though I am trying. So congrats to me on achieving my Purple Belt.. I've also been asked to join the Black Belt club. Still trying to decide when I should or if I should. I know that black belt is a goal, I just don't know how long it will take me. Ki-Hap!
