more virtue than I know what to do with

In spite of 90 degree heat, pukey humidity, and all sorts of OMG THE AIR WILL KIIIILL YOU warnings, I slogged forth to aikido today. Subject notwithstanding, I can't really chalk it up to pure virtue, more a question of gaming my weaknesses--I was annoyed and knew this would make me feel better; I got a bagel for breakfast on the understanding that I'd work it off, and though I am good at rationalization, that's more along the range of a Deal, which I can't break; I keep missing Mondays and I didn't want to punk out on Claire's class again out of some dumb idea she'd take it personally, which is of course deeply silly; etc.

Claire does take especial care on super-hot days to choose techniques that are less arduous, which is not something you can say for all of the senseis. Nevertheless, I was beet-red and headachy by the time we were done. But virtuous! So full of virtue, I could just burst with it. And there will be pool splashing when I get home, which is fun AND exercise-laden. (Though it might be less so without Eli attempting to run me down with the Motorized Command Vessel that arkham1010 kindly endowed upon us.)

Also sleepy. Very, very bursting with sleep. (This happens when I go on really hot days; it's not an actual tiredness thing--my body is at a decent energy level--it's something mental, or physical but in my skull, I can't quite tell which.)
