Still alive.

I plan to come back in September for half a challenge after our trip through Europe.

 I'm exercising, because I want to get my stamina and strength. I enjoy medieevil swordmanship,  Tai Chi, yoga, aikido and fire spinning. I'm also a roleplaying nerd and a book worm. Let's fight the procrastination dragon!

Well, I've spent some time away figuring out my health, fitness and life goals out, but now I'm ready to jump back in with a challenge. I will be joining the monks as of this challenge because I have made my martial arts practice, goshin ryu ju jitsu, my primary outlet for my physical fitness. Everything I do will to be geared towards improving my practice and technique. I'm working on my specific goals for this coming challenge, so stayed tuned. I look forward to getting to know you all.

I got the job. I'm thrilled.

 

I lost my phone, have no home internet, will be busy moving my stuff out of the storage locker that's 3.5 hours away, and have no idea when I'll get a new phone. So if ya'll don't hear from me for a while, I'm not dead. :)

Well nevermind. I was all prepared to be phoneless (&kinda looking forward to it). My grandpa bought me a phone. He had my sister help pick it out, my dad drive him to deliver it. He didn't like not being able to call me. lol

It's going to be hard to get internet. The phone line at my house is AT&T but AT&T says they don't do phone or internet service for my address online. ?! It's going to take lots of calling. If I can even get it. I don't want satellite, it's so expensive and unreliable. If I could get internet on a mountain in the middle of nowhere, but I can't get internet 9 miles from town, that will be sad. *sigh* First world problems.

I'm working my challenge. :)

Nice! One of my judo sensei teaches Goshin on the side. Always nice to meet a martial cousin. :D

He's pretty awesome. My favorite part of my new job is that I live close enough to spend time with him, after 16 years of living away.

Mods, can we move the other sticky threads?

 

Done. 

 

Sorry, totally thought I had done that already. My bad.

I decided to not do a challenge this time around. I need to get moved, unpacked, and get used to the new job. I need a break anyway. I've been messing up on them lots lately.

But I will poke around and check out your challenges some. :)Especially if I get internet soon.

 

*edit*

That sounds like enough challenge on its own

 

Ya know what? You're right.  I'm going to start a thread to update my packing progress each week. I need a little accountability there, because I totally played simcity and went to bed at 8:30 instead of working last night. lol
