Adding stuff to things to do on my bucket list

My hip injury.
Avascular necrosis of the hip -

I am not a morning person.
My morning routine is pretty much cut and dry. When I go through it, my mind is a blank, and I’m pretty much a robot going through the motions until the first sip of coffee. Here’s what happened today:
So I got up at 6:20 am this morning, put on my “dog walking” clothes (hoodie, waterproof boots, hat, jacket, warm pj’s) and walked my two dogs. Got back turned on the...

Excited.
Yesterday marked the start of a new way of teaching at my jiu jitsu school. Basically they will be using a syllabus type system so that by the end of the 16 weeks, it is written that we will learn the 60 Gracie Barra Fundamental Technique Groups, which include more than 200 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques. I’m pretty stoked and am not planning on missing any weeks.
4 months for fundamentals...
