Strep + Me + HOT + Derby = Guh
I missed two practices last week due to feeling blarg. I came down with a ripping case of strep throat early last week, and didn’t get onto antibiotics until Wednesday. I started recovering quickly after that, but I haven’t felt 100% yet. The amoxicillin is kicking my ass. Very fatigued. Anyway, I could NOT miss one more practice, so on Sunday I laced up my skates and went to the rink.
Ooof. That was a tough one. I had a very difficult time keeping up, and at times I found myself so dizzy that I had to stop and collect myself for a moment. Later in the practice we did some scrimmaging against each other (no hits, just booty blocks) and got a tiny taste of what it’s like to really play derby. We had another practice last night. If you’re in Jersey or the surrounding area, you know that it is HOT AS BALLS outside.

Since I missed two practices this week due to illness, I have no skating stories for you. But here’s a little something to tide you over. [via pamie]
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiick
Oh my hell, you guys, I am so sick. Sore throat, wicked bad, going to try to get a doctor appointment tomorrow to check for strep. I missed two practices this week due to not feeling well, and I am really bummed out about it.
So posting may be light (-er than usual) or non-existent. Ugh. Please send matzoh ball soup.
