Saturday

It's a Saturday night: let the runny nose begin.  Seriously, what is it about Saturdays?  I don't understand.  So far, nothing as eased it at all.   Actually I did take a bath and that did help but I can't stay there forever.  I've tried everything.  I've taken all the medication I could, taken a bath, taken a nap, everything.  It's just frustrating.  I swear, it mainly happens on Saturdays too.  Whatever, there's not much I can do but deal with it.

Aside from this annoyance, my day was really nice.  My mother and I had a great mother/daughter day together which I realized we don't do a lot anymore.  We rarely go out just us and talk anymore.  It's strange how one day your mom is you mom and then the next she's one of your best friends.  I'm really lucky.   We went to a skating/singing show that a friend of mine from college organized as a fundraiser.  When I initially heard about a skating show where people sang show tunes live made me want to sign up right away.  However, I allowed my insecurities get the best of me thinking that I would be the worst skating and singer there since I haven't done either in years.   After watching the show though, I realized that I could have definitely done it and just had fun.

I'm seriously considering getting back on the ice again.  The Stoneham skating club has a membership that would allow me to be part of the USFSA again and the guy who sold me my skates also coaches there.  He's such a good guy and I've been meaning to contact him again to see if he could help refit the orthotics in my skates.  However, this might be a great opportunity for me to get back on the ice.  Once I've done a bit of skating, I'm also seriously considering joining the Skating Club of Boston's Adult Ice Theater team.   It would be great to get back to skating even if it is just one day a week.  The ice theater team looks like it would be a lot of fun though.  They are actually going to be competing in Spain this year.   I think I may have found something to help me get over my issues.

  2. Thank you! I really, really would like to get back into it. I find that the more encouragement I get the more the desire increases. Eventually the desire to get back on the ice will outweigh the fear and reluctance. Thank you for this comment!
