Lauren’s Krav Maga teacher demonstrated to this class: if you do this move and dislocate your attacker’s jaw, they’ll be recovering for a long time but I prefer to just do THIS and quickly break their noses as if he goes around injurying people as a hobby.
I had a cold followed by a minor stomach ache recently. I thought my energy and motivation were gone forever. But instead, with incredibly good luck I’m back to health.
Today, I decided I want to talk to my mom every day! Whenever, I call, she sounds like she’s laughing and in the middle of some adventure I could have never imagined. Also, today, she decided we’d either play a word on facebook scrabble or talk everyday. I’m lucky my mother is young, imaginative, and telepathically connected to me. As a happy side effect, half the time, I reach Rafi. Today, he and I had fun deciding all the solid reasons we don’t want to live in Upper Walthamstow and where we’ll vacation when we’re”stationed” in London.
Today, I went straight from doing great work on my novel (and spotting 2 racoons in the creek) to discovering that Summer was locked in her bedroom with Tyler. My hysteria was in check and she assured me she would not become a teen mom and agreed to leave the door open in the future. Lucky again, we went on to have a really fun night studying strange French words (“vair” means squirrel fur and Cinderella’s slippers were originally “vair” instead of “verre” (glass). ). Who would’ve known. We also found out that if she ran the 400 m for Columbia, she’d be the 5th fastest.
Emily and Andy are well focused on their schoolwork and doggies. And Eric is down to 171 lbs and lifting weights. His biceps are actually bigger than Summer’s!
But back to Krav Maga girl, AN AGENT REQUESTED Lauren’s FULL MANUSCRIPT. No wonder, she’s starting to feel capable of elbowing, kneeing and kicking off random offenders. She’s en route to being a published author!
