What am I going to do today?
Sleep in late, CHECK!
We went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (again, why isn't it Botanical?) yesterday for Sakura Matsuri 2010 with our friends yesterday, very cool indeed but WAY too crowded. We walked around all day and saw demonstrations and met people and stared at people in strange costumes 
It was fun, but was a long day. My hips and ankles are killing me today, but it really made me think about what kind of shape I'm in and what I want to do about it. Not only that, but what is important to me and what I want to do with my life. We got in after running around all day, so we were all exhausted and everyone fell asleep really quickly, except me. Still got 8.5 hours of sleep which for me, is amazing.
So what am I going to do today? Aidan called his friends to see if they wanted to play D&D today, but he's sick and a bunch of them can't make it, so that's scratched for the day. Can't say I'm totally disappointed, but it would have been fun. It's beautiful outside and my elbow isn't screaming at me, I might go out and do some kicks and punches. Seeing the students at ...okay now this is just freakin creepy.
There was a demonstration by students from a karate school in NYC called Seido. I wanted to link it here, and when I went to the page, in big print is the opening of the newest branch - in Elmsford NY - 10 min from where I work. I can't afford it right now, but that's weird. I was impressed by the discipline and focus of the students and wanted to smack two or three wise-asses in the crowd for making stupid comments during the demo, but I was taken in by how they held themselves.
No, I'm not going to run out and join Seido Karate today, tho a large part of me wants to. What I'm going to do today is make pancakes for my daughter because she just woke up and is expecting them. Here she comes and is smiling at me saying "What?" from the stairs as she collapses on the couch.
Have a great day y'all. I'll try and post what I get done today.

The short answer on the botanic vs. botanical thing is that both words are correct, so some large gardens use “botanic” in their names, and some use “botanical”. They mean the same thing, and are equally correct.

I meditated a bit because as the day wore on, my muscles got tight and my hips got sore. All that walking around seemed to tighten things up. Nice thing is I sat quietly for a while, wrote for a while, watched a movie with Fae and generally had one of those days you need every once in a while. I just was. I just be’d
