cruelest month
Practice last night actually didn't make me feel like dying. My feet went numb and crampy in my new skates a couple times, but my lungs and muscles were mostly okay. But leaving at 7:45 and getting back at 11, that killed me a little bit. I was out of the shower and starting dinner at quarter to midnight. I'm a little dead this morning. And hey, doing it again tonight!
Tomorrow will be another late one; we're putting on a party for work. It's a mini-cruise on the Urban Pirates boat and a happy hour/meet'n'greet thing. Sadly, it sounds like my camera will go on the boat and I will stand on the dock in case people are late. Lamest party job ever.
Thursday right after work I've got my Orange Star assessment for derby. Have to find time to read the rules before then. I don't really expect to pass, and I'm kind of okay with that, but I'm still going to take it and try. (Do I actually know what I'll be tested on? Of course not!) I'd like to be scrimmaging, that's how I'm actually going to learn to play. I'd also like the option to go to more practices - yes, in large part because it comes with the option to skip more practices. And, yes, it's frustrating to be working this hard and not even allowed to play the damn sport yet. But I'm still slow and not nearly as strong as most of those girls; scrimmaging right now would be rough. If I have to wait, at least the month of May won't hurt so badly.
I'm looking forward to this weekend. I feel like I've been looking forward to this weekend all month. It should be relaxing. Tyler's car should be back from the shop and that whole episode behind us. We'll go see some music, maybe see some friends, hopefully play some D&D. Get some sleep, maybe even. And then next week (aside from a photoshoot - ugh) shouldn't suck either.
