So, I'm icing my knee--took my first big fall since I've been back at the rink. Thursday afternoon is kid skate and when we club skaters get there after, the rink can be a little grotty. An adorable tiny pink plastic sequin locked my skate wheel and I slammed down on my knee. I got up and skated again, just to make sure that I could.
I am home icing it. It's gonna have a huge bruise plus I scraped the shit out of it. Am I perverse that I love that no one responds when you fall on the rink, no matter how old or young you are? You are expected to get yourself up and keep on skating if you possibly can. Falling is part of the deal and even though most people practicing are wearing foofy little dresses, they are TOUGH.
Much neck~ma to Fred Pete.
And knee~ma to you, Scrappy. Ouch!
The liquidation sale for all remaining stores begins tomorrow.
I did not realize that! Wow.
Scrappy, it seems to be the culture in skating. I used to have a brown spot on one knee from where I went down once. I think it took 20 years for it to finally fade completely away.
I went to Border's today. Will had to go to NY state for something so he dropped me off at the mall. I wanted to ask when the Liquidation sale started, but that seemed tacky. I'm kind of tempted to go back (partly to escape the hit tomorrow) but I'm pretty sure I won't have any will power. And I don't really need to spend any money.
I've got a couple of gift cards I better use up ASAP.
Much neck~ma to Fred Pete.
And knee~ma to you, Scrappy. Ouch!
What Calli said!
I have temporarily staved off the NSF demon by getting my new roommate to give me her share of the rent/security deposit in cash instead of a check. And decided not to go out tonight, as a small step in the right direction.
I've revised my resume for the billionth time, and finally got it down to two pages. Jeezy chreezy. Anyone up for a quick proofread?
Jumping ahead to post this Craigslist ad:

For posterity:
FREE 5Gal Pail Of Vaseline... DONT ASK.
For FREE, a full 5 gallon pail of Vaseline. I picked up over 10 gallons of this stuff about a year ago from a unclaimed freight. I do not have any more use for the remaining 5 gallons.

But he had a use for the first five gallons?!
I'm tempted to pick it up just to have it hanging from a hook in my garage, waiting for people to ask, "What's that bucket up there?"
