Keeping Busy (in a different way)

Friday night I went to a double feature of El Santo.  El Santo was a Mexican masked wrestler who starred in many movies in which he fought evil-doers with his special wrestling skills.  Awesome!

Saturday night I got to ride in shrijani 's sweet luxury vehicle to Roller Derby.  It was fun, but after eagerly anticipating it for a month, I have to say the performance was a little lackluster...  Hopefully July's bout of the KC Roller Warrior All-Stars vs. Baltimore will be more exciting!

Today I taught my aikido class and did laundry, all while planning my Mexico adventure.  I am planning a trip to places in Mexico most people have never heard of:  San Cristóbal de las Casas, and then the exquisite Mayan ruins of Palenque.  Along the way I am going to a coffee plantation, a bike tour (can't avoid those), and an amber museum where you can buy real insects trapped in amber, just like Jurassic Park!  It will be scary, a woman travelling alone off the beaten path in Mexico.  I think I can pull this off in one week rather inexpensively.  I only hope the hotels still have openings.  The trip will be in July, a week after G-fest.

Now tomorrow I have my cholersterol test.  It's no big deal, except that I can't put anything but water in my body for 12 hours.  I plan to be asleep for most of those 12 hours.  But, how to get to the doctor's without coffee?!? 

For some reason I have been avoiding my bike.  I seriously need to get back into riding shape.  I was supposed to go Friday, Saturday, or today, but I have avoided it.  Why?  I will blame it on the post-school year fatigue and the emotional drain of saying good-bye to a place and coworkers I came to love...
