I passed

I tested for my black belt today. I passed.

I feel as though I’ve been run over by a mid-sized herd of buffalo. Not as bad as it could have been … but still pretty darn strenuous. The leaves will probably have to stay on the lawn for another couple of days. That’s all I’m saying.

Now, I’m told, comes the traditional “being dragged to the bar by the senior instructors” part of the test. Gotta go.
