jitters

I haven't been nervous about the other bouts.
Really not at all.

Partly I guess I had out of town visitors both times, to distract me.

Partly... we're down to 11 skaters today-- not only is Lizzie out for the season with the torn meniscus she sustained in the last bout, and of course Fleshette with her shattered leg, but also, now, Blackie DeckHer discovered that the nagging knee sprain that didn't heal from two weeks ago is also a torn meniscus.
So she's out.
We're told 11 is fine.
So I'm sure we'll be fine.

Last week the other team had a girl nearly quit for whatever reason, and their captain was flipping out that she'd be so short.
She would've still had 12.

We'll be fine.
I think it's just that we've worked so hard this time-- seven hours every Sunday, three on Saturdays, two on Mondays and Wednesdays, and then the normal league practices, two hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That's 18 hours of practice in a week, and many of us made all of them.

Shit, I have to go figure out what the hell to do with my hair. My teammates had bought up every red bandana in every store around town, so I finally had to go just buy a yard of fabric and make my own. It took too long to sew "8wd" in sequins on a black sock, so I don't have time to make a bandana properly-- all I can do is cut it out and hope it doesn't fray too much.

Also there was no red paisley fabric, so I had to use polka dot. It can't possibly matter.

Ah well. Wish me luck.

Aw, I wish I knew you needed a red bandanna. I have one, and I'll bring it tonight if you want to use it.
