20 Juli - Muggggggggy

I spent most of the day trying to write up a summary of the US health care system, so I can begin my paper with an outline of the two systems before I get into how and why they differ when it comes to diabetes costs and care (assuming I figure out how to get that info) and all I can say is the US health care system is a convoluted mess! My summary is like 3 pages long as I sit here and try to get all the 'special case' mumbo jumbo in. Uhg!

We had Capoeira again tonight. Skylar talked me into riding the bus again and again I said we would not be doing it anymore. It's hot and stuffy and takes just as long as the bike ride. Today seemed especially hot an muggy, which made training a bit difficult. Skylar and I paired with each other which is never good. He has a tendency to act out a bit more when he is with me and be all dramatic and I have a tendency to get all frustrated with him, so training turns into a battle of wills. I can see why most places don't allow kids and parents to train together. 

I couldn't wait to get home, so we left class quickly and grabbed some food at the falafel/ donor kebab stand at the train station. Have I mentioned how nauseating donor kebab's are? These giant twirling slabs of meat... but they do have falafel, so I try not to look.  When we got to the train station in Heilbronn, it was 30 more minutes before the bus came, so we went to get an ice cream cone and I made Skylar walk to the stop where we would have taken the bus to catch the connection. I would have walked all the way home, but Skylar wanted to take the bus, so we did. He has such convenient bursts of energy sometimes or rather convenient lack of energy sometimes.

It felt good to be home.
