derby season starting back up

[dragonlady7]

My league has a relatively inactive period between July and September, where we recruit and train rookies, and our travel team travels a lot. I missed the start-back-up in September due to the MRSA, antibiotics, antihistamines fiasco. So this morning I spent half an hour trying to find my sports bra, finding my mouthguard which I hadn’t put in since June (I soaked it in mouthwash for two months because I forgot I put it in to soak, ew), finding all my pads and brushing the literal cobwebs off them, etc.

Managed to survive practice, and I feel like a million bucks. But I stink. And I’m hungrier than I ever remember being before in my life. And also I have a lot of work to do. The pressure’s gonna be on, and I have to be serious this season, more serious than ever before, which has been pretty serious, so…

But for now, I’m gonna go drink some booze, in the shower, to celebrate the return to something important that will eat my life again, starting now.
