Life is good.
May. 27th, 2007 09:08 pmIt really is. I just kept trying to explain that to Z today: Life is really good. It just is. The weather is decent, if a bit muggy and the rainstorms anemic and boring (we've gotten, like, an eighth of an inch of rain in the last two days, all in these dramatic-dark-sky-heavy-wind-then-it-sprinkles-then... that's it... kinda rainstorms that leave me a bit blue-balled for a proper thunderstorm).
But anyway. Life is really good, and I am a bit busy at the moment and don't have time to really explain it.
Also I know precisely how to rewrite the Barbarians_Novel. Which helps.
And my team, which was teetering on the brink of forfeiting our final bout because we had so many injuries and so few actual competent skaters (FOUR out of fourteen are actively crippled; of the ten left, one has ongoing shin-splint issues, etc), voted on Friday to skate in this last bout. "At worst," was the point I made, "we show up to the last bout, and we totally lose. So what? We win by showing up. We finish what we started, we make an appearance, we do what we can, and we don't do anything to get ourselves hurt." Seems like plenty to me. I just want to show up. That's it.
And we had an awesome practice today. Really awesome. We just... we didn't do anything special, but we were just good. I feel good.
I dunno, I can't explain it. I'm gonna go drink a bunch now, yay!
