I won't be hitting the dojo this week, because too much is happening at school. Tuesday is "Parent Information Night." I'm a bit upset, since this was originally scheduled for Wednesday. A couple weeks ago, we were told that Wednesday is a religious holiday, so Parent Info night was moved to Tuesday.
Thursday is a meeting for parents whose children are joining band or orchestra and need to be fitted for their instruments. Our older daughter wants to play viola, so that's the night we have to attend the meeting. I'm glad she's joining something. We sort of wanted it to be a sport, but this is a nice second choice. Our main reservation is that she'll need to practice on her own time, which she won't. At least with a sport, she'll have practice built in to the regular game schedule. Yes, I know there are orchestra practices, just like band or choir - I did that when I was young. Playing an instrument still demands at least 30 minutes of practice each day no matter what.
I have no idea when the second meeting will end, but if it's early enough, I might be able to get to the dojo. I have no idea right now. On the other hand, my lovely wife will want me to come straight home after the meeting to drop off our daughter, and once I get home, I'm not getting out again.
There is one good thing that begins this week: My wife starts a new class at school this Saturday. Her class coincides with our dojo practice, so I'll drop her off at school, play Aikido, then pick her up after practice. Her class runs through mid-December, so I have at least that many classes guaranteed. That will be nice.
