good brakes

Today was a normal day, clean house feed animals, play pool and take Brook to Tae Kwon Do. On our way home from tae I kept picturing a deer going thru my windshield. I know... not good. I hate when I do things like that. I always have bad thoughts like that in a car. Usually I see my car going off the road into a ditch or hitting a wall. Ok so I am a bit weird.

Brook is doing real well in Tae right now. She got upset tonight because she did not know her form. Silly girl, tonight was the first night she has ever done them. I thought she did real well.

I have a pile of stuff I was supposed to take to Goodwill tonight. I forgot to load them up into the car. I will take them tomorrow.

On our way home tight I found out that the brakes on the car work real good. There was a deer in the middle of the road and 2 on my side of the road. I slowed down and the doe in the road ran off to the side and took off with the other 2. Just as she left the road a deer from the other side of the road decided that it needed to cross the road! Lucky for me and the deer I had already slowed down I hit my brakes hard and missed her by inches! One more second and she would have been crossing my hood and possible going thru my window! That shook me up. Just moments before that was when I saw a deer go thru my window in my mind.

 I think I will play some games. that left me a bit rattled.

hungry and sore

I am sore today. Not as bad as I thought I would be. I must not be as out of shape as I thought I was! Last night went very well. It was a solid hour of movement. We started out with some stretching exercises. After that we proceeded to punching and kicking. We learned some blocking techniques and then did some active defense moves. One was really fun. I got to practice with a black belt. I blocked his punch , punched his nose and slammed his face into my knee. LOL Over and over again until I felt like I could not move another muscle. OOPS I left out one very nice part of it all. I got a massage from Master Lee! The man has wonderful hands! They are very strong and he does know how to work the muscles. It would be really nice if that is to be part of the lessons every time!!!
 Today I have done good. I walked for 30 minutes and did stretching and strength exercises. I have kept my calorie count to under 1000 so far today. I will eat about 500 more in a few minutes. I am not about to starve myself! I will have to refrain from daily weigh ins. The scales do not show a drop in weight yet. 
Pat brought me an old milk crate to fix for the chickens to lay their eggs in. I am not getting any yet but I hope to!
Pup our black lab mix is hurt. It looks as if he has been shot with a pellet gun and he is limping. He barely places his front leg down. He disappeared 2 days ago and this is how he showed back up. He is such a gentle dog. Will not jump on you or anything. He does not chase cars or chew up stuff. He does not bark unless there is something out there that is not supposed to be there. He does tend to wander off sometimes. I hope he will be alright. He is eating which is a good sign.  I may have to get him some antibiotics from the feed store. They sell injectable penicillin  there.
So far winter has not really been here. We have had a few cold days but not right now. It is supposed to be in the 70's this week! This is not normal for January!
Time to eat and then some games after I get laundry folded. See yall later.
