Actually the whole week has kinda rocked. Even though I spazzed out on Monday over karate it’s not been to bad. But today…today was just fricken great!
I hadn’t originally thought of anything I wanted for my anniversary. Daddy had told me he’d buy me anything I wanted (well I’m sure not ANYTHING…but you know). At the time…there really wasn’t anything I wanted enough that I couldn’t get some loser on NF to buy me. (Lol that’s horrible isn’t it?)
Anyway…today while reading lifehacker.org I came across an article on Bootstrapping. The article itself isn’t really important to me…but the following really opened my eyes. I can’t tell you what I asked for yet as I haven’t asked him if I could tell you peoples (nor has he said for sure he’s going to get it for me)…but I did want to point this paragraph out to you.
Kaizen.
Kaizen is a Japanese term for a Chinese concept. The gist of its meaning is continuous improvement by slow degrees of change. It has applications in quality improvement (at least in the US) but can be applied to many disciplines. You donโt set out to be perfect immediately. Start with what you have and slowly improve it through continuous/ daily actions. This methodology can be applied to anything. I use this principle to improve my websites and that of clients. The wikipedia definition of Kaizen gives a much fuller explanation which mentions three core principles that must be applied. Iโve only covered the gist.

THEN!…..his mom was talking to me about the gi burn on my neck from Monday. I mentioned I needed to go get a mock turtle neck or something to prevent it in the future and she reminded me she wanted to go to Kohl’s before Friday cause she had coupons. She offered to take me tonight after Tat and Daddy headed to her house. So the plan was set…I’d go with her shopping…and then hit the gym.
I CAN enjoy shopping it turns out. LOL I found a pair of size 9 pants that look fucking kick ass!! I’m going to wear them to Friday night’s PodcampNYC events. I’ll be going with Daddy to the attendee’s get together and then heading to the Gay/Queer afterparty to help interview some people. I’m going to look amazing!! ๐ I love this whole gym thing!!
I didn’t want to go to the gym afterwards cause you really can get all sweaty (i know..eww) trying on clothing but I figured going to the gym/exercising is what got me those size 9 pants and I want to get to size 7 again so I should go.
Daddy and I went Sunday. I had karate on Monday. We both went last night and did cardio and arms and abs. Tonight I did cardio and legs and abs. Yay me! All by my little lonesome. LOL We plan to go tomorrow and Friday as well.
I haven’t written any more on the projects but I did come up with the start of the next part of “The Cage” and a possible ending for it if I make it a short. Here’s a question and I EXPECT comments damnit!
Would you be ok with a short story ending on a cliff hanger? So say for instance…heroine gets caught by villain, heroine narrowly escapes but isn’t totally out of the woods…bang ‘the end’.
Ok with that asked…I’m off to treat myself to sushi and read more of “For a Few Demons More”!
It’s a great life!
