We were gonna go to Jon’s salon at 8:10AM to carpool up to the tournament. I dreamt that we overslept and didn’t make it in time so I woke up at 6:00 and could never really go back to sleep ’cause every 15 minutes, I looked at the clock.
At seven o’ clock, I got up. I did some things on the ‘puter and at 7:50, the rest of the crew started to rise. Since it was foggy and cold ‘n all, I put on my sweatshirt. I knew I’d probably need to bring it ’cause I would be cold walking to the salon and going up to the tournament. Plus, I was a little nervous (the anxious/anticipation kind of nervous) and being cold and nervous ain’t the best combination.
Anyway, five minutes before Luke and I would set off for Jon’s salon, Ma drew a bath for herself. I looked and thought, “hmm . . . that looks warm.” Since I was chilly and a little anxious (the same kind of anxious that you feel right before a test or going on stage), I figured a warm bath would help me relax a bit. Well, I got partway in and wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! It was HOT! I figured, “well, I’m halfway in, might as well go all the way in.” Talk about a hot spring. IT was so hot my fingers felt prickly and frozen. Well, five minutes of that and I was hot enough. After that, we left.
It was chilly out and normally, I would’ve worn a sweatshirt but I was still so toasty from the bath, I wore shorts and a t-shirt.
When we got there, Jon was packing up and went to get a cup o’ Java. We fiddled around with the swivel barber chairs ‘n all. Soon, Allisa, Daniel (who’s our third team member in Team Kata) and Kai came. After getting directions, we all huddled in the two cars. Jon went with Allisa and Luke and I went with Kai and Daniel.
On the was up on the highway, we were driving side by side. Jon (he wasn’t driving) suddenly rolls down the window, takes out a oar-like-thing and pretends to be rowing the car. lol! . . I guess you had to have been there.
A couple hors later, we got there.
