Didn't Fall Down the Stairs

'Spose I should mention it...you know how yesterday I was wondering what sort of day it would be?

Turns out it was the sort of day to get kicked hard in the face.

It happens, sometimes, and I'm not upset about it. I do, however, have a raspberry bruise on my chin and a slightly swollen lip. So I thought I should mention this in a (probably futile) attempt to avoid the ohmigodAbrawhathappened?

It's not that bad, really? Didn't bite through my lip, though I've got some nice cuts on the inside of my bottom lip, teeth all solidly rooted, etc....

Yes, sparring with Karma, who just got her green belt and is therefore adjusting to being allowed head contact. We were all being encouraged to try new things, instead of falling back on old patterns. I was working on being totally defensive (obviously I made a critical failure at blocking!). She also happened to be trying the ball of the foot chop kick, which meant she was hitting harder than normal, too.

She was really feeling guilty about it....
