Any day looks good to me

I surprised myself by doing extra well at Kuk Sool today. I did this weird-ass kick where you jump, do a side kick, turn over and do another side kick with the other leg, and then land. On the first try! There were some things I didn't remember, but the things I remembered I did well. It was satisfying.
This is a note to myself: I need to work on stances, doing forms on the opposite side, pointing my feet in the same direction as my hands, and knowing which falls go with which technique in case my partner doesn't. Also there are some things I should know that I haven't been taught, but that's not exactly my fault.

And yesterday R. had a party, which was low-key but very nice. B. and T. showed up; I want to become better friends with all three of these people, so I was pleased that they could all be in the same place like that. There was also a little bit of halfhearted dancing. I think people find it hard to dance at parties with less than a certain population per square foot. Everyone gave it a good try, though.
I think there's such a thing as a friend-crush, where you want to be friends with someone but you're not yet, so they make you a little pleasantly uncomfortable. Just like crushes, but without any implication of ever making out.

Matt either worked or slept all weekend. I felt a little sorry for him, but neither activity was something where I could pick up part of the load. He needs to have normal weekend stuff to do, like lawn care. I can help with lawn care.

Also: I am happy to have acquired many, many candy canes - and eaten many of those.
