return of the green goo!

dragonlady7I am hacking up green goo, which wouldn't bother me terribly except that what with this bruised rib I have, it hurts like a bitch to cough at all. And you can't really dislodge chest-deep green goo by clearing your throat real hard.
Ug.
But, I am full of joy. I have decided that April will not be ye cruellest month-- it will be a Month of Fun. I am going to back off from roller derby a little bit, just a little, since we have a bye this next time-- we don't skate again until May 31st. So I can step back, take some deep breaths, and work on my cross-training or something. Something that involves sunshine. It was gorgeous yesterday and I couldn't get out of bed to go enjoy it. (I did open a window. That totally counts.)
Maybe I'll hang out socially with some of my teammates, because while I like them and all, I only get to see them in the context of either a roller rink or a dive bar. It would be nice to do fun things in sunshine with them. And I don't want to drop off the face of the earth, I just can't face spending this month in the roller rink too. I've been busting my ass straight since the end of August, and you know, that's almost nine months of spending like ten hours a week in a god damn roller rink. It's no wonder everything pisses me off, i have no sense of humor, and I believe everything is a conspiracy against me. You would too if you'd smelled that much stale popcorn.
Because when our guests from Gotham were talking about the kinds of stuff they pretty much constantly do just to maintain a top-level roller derby team... and we were all figuring out what we would do to even come close to getting to a stage of being that good... everyone else seemed all excited and determined and fired-up, and I was sitting there with my chin on my hand thinking Christ, that sounds like so much goddamn work, and I wanted to cry.
Which is not the attitude one needs to go in to such a thing. So I'm going to try to be more positive about the whole thing and make it be fun again, because I'm exhausted.
Also I've got to get my life in order so I'm going to do that now. BRB!
Just kidding. I have got a list, though. My life looks manageable, apart from the derby part of it. And that will be manageable too.
