I Got My Ticket!
11:30pm: For the ice skating show next Thursday, which I'm very much looking forward to!
Today has been an action packed day though, not only did I go to the psychiatrist and then to the Macquarie Shopping Centre, I also went to a skate shop in a suburb some distance away because as it happened I took the car, since I hurried down the driveway of the house just as the E78 drove by.
I'm glad I went to the skate shop because my poor skates needed sharpening like whoa, I went to the lunch time session, which was probably a bad idea because the place was packed. Crowded or not that was not the reason I had such trouble skating, my poor blades were dull which made it difficult to glide.
Going to the skating shop had another benefit, I got skate guards! They were $19 and no prizes for guessing what what colour I picked! ;O) And to think the online shop said green wasn't available. Rude. I had a bit of difficulty getting them to fit because at one point while putting those springs on I ended up putting one the wrong way around and it required a lot of pulling to twist it back around in the right direction. Then I discovered that I needed to cut one side because they were a little too big for my blades, so I battled with a knife for a while then went down to the main house to ask if they had scateurs, they did and they did the job easily.
So yay, now I can put my skates on in the foyer of the ice rink and keep the blades nicely protected when I'm not using them. Yay! :O)
But it did require a lot of driving, I'm sure my parents would be proud of me. Although I did get a bit of a surprise when I noticed this warning light for the tyre kept coming on, considering what happened last week when I took a corner too sharply I thought it must have slowly gone flat. So I went to the petrol station where I found nope all the tyres were fine. I checked the manual and it turns out the warning light was just to say that the puncture warning system isn't working. Whoops. I guess that'll need to be fixed next service.
And my nose is itchy...again, maybe I should buy that Horseradish and Garlic stuff my mother swears by, because it's irritating as Hell. Just as long as I'm not getting a cold though, knock on wood!
I shall leave the Memes 'til tomorrow because I need to be up at a decent hour tomorrow morning because I'm going to the grandparentals, shall I succeed in Canasta against M? Tune in tomorrow and find out! :O)
Goodnight all!
