I don't know how many times someone has told me not to stress out lately.  Believe me, it's much easier said than done.  I definitely wouldn't advise anyone to try to belt test if you're in the middle of construction on a house.

Since my last blog, the wall on the south side of my house has been finished, plus there is now a (roughly) 16' x 12' extension on that side of the house for my new bathroom & laundry room.  The man in charge of the construction says that the plumbing and wiring is supposed to be done this next week.  He also says that we should be able to move back into our house sometime in the next few weeks.

We had belt testing on March 28.  It was just my luck that I got sick that day.  I tried to test anyway, but bombed big time.  I couldn't even finish my form, much less spar or break boards.  I'm just glad that we get a second chance the following weekend to retest.

I did retest yesterday (04/05/08) and I feel like I did pretty well.  I only had to do my form once.  Sparring seemed to go good.  And I broke both my boards on the first attempt with an elbow smash and a side kick.  I gotta admit it felt like a big weight off my shoulders when it was over.  I'll know this Tuesday night whether I passed or not.
