Second Injury

Finger shaped bruises on my right arm from being grabbed by a brown belt during self-defense practice. I am ridiculously proud of these bruises, and the marks on the calcified tendon just below my kneecap from kneeling properly on a wood dojo floor.

There are now TWO blisters, one on each big toe. Kicking with the ball of the foot is hard when one's previous kicking training was Highland Dancing and Cheerleading. No pointy toes! Toes will break off! argh.
