Out with the old...

...in with the new - > car registration, teeth cleanings, etc.

Tis the season for spring cleaning. Not inside the house, of course. All around. Been re-registering cars and getting duplicate licences (FYI, moving is a pain in the ass, especially when you wait 6+ months to do all the stuff you should have done 6+ months ago) after getting the safety/emissions tests done yesterday. All 3 of us have been to the dentist this month (2 of us more than once - FYI, gingivitis therapy hurts like a bitch). I am no longer a dermatologist-visiting virgin. I still have a pile of things to go thru on the desk, but this is a great start to spring! Next up, actually attacking the house (not terribly dirty) and the storage unit to clean out and clean up. I heart de-cluttering.

Obviously, I have moved out of my funk a little. Last week in boot camp, I learn the 3-month mark is where the newness of your "new thing" starts to wear off. So, I promptly signed up for team competitions @ The Peaceful Dragon last Saturday so I wouldn't keep coming to class all "blah". It kind of worked. It was sort of rejuvenating to compete, see some friends I've made, and talk to new folks. And, I actually WON 1st place in tai chi, chi kung form "Push the Mountain...". It was pretty sweet. And, last night, Natalia got us B blockers started on some "push the hands" movements. I admit, having seen this a lot during team competition, it made it easier to begin practice. But, lovely breeze and workout outside. And, the knees actually feel better today after 45 minutes of forward bow to back stance - must have worked out some of the soreness.

Now if only I can get my head wrapped around work. I'm feeling like I'm Phil Connors in Groundhog Day. Same old, same old; day in and day out. Same defects, different carrier. Same code, different tests. Must. Get. To. It.
