just got back from dancing
Please help remind me that I love going dancing. I danced for almost all of 3.5 hours. Even though my legs were already sore.

what is this for?
I don’t know anymore. For awhile it felt important to track my exercise, especially what I was learning in judo. But most of the time it just made me feel bad, like I should be doing more. As much as I still love my judo people, I’m less and less excited about judo itself. Now that I’m a brown belt, the one tournament I’ve gone to (unblogged - I won one round of three against an older woman I outweighed, and got beat up by a bunch of teenage black belts) was a miserable panic-attack filled experience, and every practice is punctuated by just how much I hurt. But I’m following more and more people, just happy at what awesome people are out there, and I want to learn to share more of what’s going on a bit like they do. So maybe sometimes I’ll find something I want to say here. What’s the worst thing that can happen? What’s the best thing that can happen?

What should you do during an election year?
You should endeavor to understand the electoral process through the drug-addled eyes of Hunter S. Thompson. 40 years ago he followed the Democrats through their primary process and somehow not only am I reading along with it this year (though I intend to read at something approximating my normal pace, not move along with the full year) but I seem to have talked some other people into doing it too. So you - Internet person that I don’t talk to enough - you should read with us! We should chat. I’m up to Mid-March.

the week I babied my ankle
I think I hurt it dancing, and then walked around on it for a few days in the same shoes. go me. It was swollen and hurt randomly.
monday: lunchtime yoga - included balancing. that convinced me the ankle was actively not happy
ice and elevation for a few days, then found my ankle exercises from physical therapy
