Two weeks or so ago, Sis had her first speedskating competition of the season. And for awhile beforehand, everything just went awry--Mama was diagnosed with the flu, we got 13"+ of snow in a wicked Nor'easter, and the blanket I had been racing to finish for the competition raffle was accidentally left behind at kung fu (and unretrievable because of said snow.) But we made it work. Bud stayed home with Mama and I took Sis all by myself--driving farther than I have since my back issues, in post-blizzard freezing weather, hauling all sorts of extra supplies because I was in charge of the officials and coaches' hospitality room. And it went beautifully! I finished a scarf for the raffle, did all the shopping, made the drive just fine, the hospitality room came off without a real hitch, thanks to a lot of volunteers, and Goo joined us to cheer on Sis and help out with everything in his sister's stead.
And Sis skated up to 10+ seconds faster this year than last!!! I saw every race--I love watching her skate. Her form is clean and she's really steady. Her coach said she got stronger and faster throughout the day. So proud of her.
And of me.
