I REALLY want to beat someone up!

Sparring!Morning all,

Today is Week 2 in my insane work mode (18 hour days plus garage sale prepping for Fri/Sat)!  The good news is the end truly is in sight…and the bad news is, well, I really want to beat someone up.

But it’s not what you think! 🙂

You see, one of my favorite activities is karate sparring.  This wondrous activity has me wearing fighting gear (head protector, chest protector, gloves, feet, etc.) and going toe-to-toe with black belts who could easily mop the floor with me.  Still, though, it’s most character-building indeed – there’s something about being able to utterly let go (with control, of course) and fight to your best ability that really releases any inner tensions/stress that work has built up.

My insane work mode has me working when I’m awake…and sleeping when I’m not.  I’m reminded of the classic essay, Why Startups Aren’t Gothic:

…And then you’ll stop going to clubs because you need all your spare time for sleeping…

Being a one-woman show is the exact same way!!  🙂

I’m really feeling my lack of extreme sports right now.  True, I did manage to weight lift at home and do my usual karate kicks/punches/etc during the afternoons….but wow, I just plain miss throwing myself into it all.

Ah well, these things happen – perhaps next week I shall be back to non-insanity and able to return to my sparring again!

And that’s me whine for the morning,

Barbara

ps – speaking about sparring, have you seen:
