Physical education: ow. I hurt my foot in TKD last night (smacking the top of it really hard, thus pissing off the big joints at the very top of all my toes). Aside from that it was a fun class. So, I guess I limp around, and I don't have to feel guilty for missing tonight's class.
Spiritual education: when the Buddha decided the most important thing was to attain spiritual wisdom / become enlightened / whatever, did you know he walked off and left his wife to raise his son alone? Apparently he was a great logician in later life... wonder how he managed to logic that one away. And I wonder what his wife thought of it all, and whether she ever went to see him in his role as a religious leader, and if she was ever allowed to marry again. HLM has been informed that if he does the same, he will find the peace of his meditations forcibly shattered on at least one public occasion. >:(
Family education: I called my mom and a) told her my dad was engaged, which I knew would make her happy and b) got the lowdown on the circumstances of my own conception. I always knew I was an accident and I always knew my mom's body had once rejected an IUD, but never until yesterday was sure that the one had caused the other or if some other method had also failed. Well, it was the IUD. And a big reason was that the rejection happened almost right away, but my mom never reached up to make sure the string was in the right place, because, in her words, who wants to do that, right? It's a strange thought... if she'd had just a little more comfort with her body her life would have gone much more as she planned it, but I wouldn't be here. So here's to parental squeamishness.
