Another day that would have been much worse with alcohol

I made it through a tough day today where every ounce of my personal skills, diplomacy, empathy, and intelligence were required. I survived until the end because I just had more energy. I had once again slept better than expected, which really helped. Then I saw three colleagues/friends for lunch and watched them all drink those great beers--but it was not even difficult for me to watch them.

I learned today that we will have a martial arts test in November to determine who gets admitted to the cycle to train for the second degree black belt. This will be a very tall order for me, especially with my injuries, but it may be doable if I drop weight as expected. And my hip still did not hurt today, even after the long run yesterday and a round of martial arts.
