My first Tai Chi class was this morning. I missed last
week's class cuz it was too cold outside, and I was a wuss. So now I
had to try to play catch up. It wasn't a pretty sight for my
uncoordinated self. Who knew this was so fkn tricksy? At the end
of our class, the Chinese guy took our picture in a pose. I'm so sure
he's taking it back to China to giggle at us all with his friends. It
reminds me of that sushi clip (which was taken down or else I'd link it) of
Japanese people making fun of Americans for eating raw fish and using sticks
to eat. Ten minutes into the class, I was practically in tears and
swearing to myself I would NOT be back next week. I was so frustrated
and couldn't figure out where my arms were supposed to be when my feet were
like so. But after 40 minutes or so, I started to feel the chi
goodness of it all. I decided I would try one more week, and next week
is on the beach with no new steps to learn.
Afterwards, we all went to
Denny's for breakfast. I fkn hate Denny's, but I was starving and for
some bizarre reason there are no delis anywhere around. To add insult
to injury, we had to wait for our table. However we did get somewhat
of a floor show with that. Two old guys almost duked it out over a
front row parking space. It was funny seeing them, in shorts with
their black socks pulled up too high, shouting and acting tough. My
friend was ready to cheer them on, but I almost walked over and asked them
if they knew how stupid they looked. Since one never knows about who
owns what semi-automatic weapon, I let the moment pass.
Our waitress was godawful. I wouldn't be happy to work there
either, but FFS at least fake a smile when you're working for tips.
Then she sneezed twice while taking our order. Wet sneezes. I
kept reminding myself I have a healthy immune system and a cast iron
stomach. Plus, I was starving. My 1st breakfast had
already worn off. Tai Chi is hard stuff.
