Skating Costume, 'Worlds' Events and Migraine Update


The two skating dresses I ordered from China have shipped. I purchased them on e-Bay and cannot wait to receive them. The prices were unbelievably reasonable, but $25.00 for shipping really irks me. The seller has a 100% satisfaction guarantee so hopefully everything will work out.  Here is a picture of the dress I ordered for my "Passion of the Christ" program for ISI Worlds. I had black wrist length sleeves added because I don't like skating sleeveless. I get too cold, even for a short period of time on the ice. And, unlike my best skating buddy who lifts weights, I don't have great looking arms; mine look more like chicken legs. Ugh. 

Before my lesson this week, Coach asked me if I wanted to participate in the 'ensemble' program (involves 7 skaters) at Worlds. I was a member of our synchro team for one season and did enjoy skating in a group. I didn't know if I really wanted to do this, but agreed because I want to support the rink as much as possible. I think it will be fun and another former member of the synchro team is going to participate also, so this should help. She and I went to Lake Placid Adult Skating Camp a few years ago and had a blast. But, this is final; no more events at Worlds, no matter what! I've invested as much as I can in this competition and this doesn't include the costs for the hotel room and meals. EEK! Dear Husband, don't pass out at this news. 

These migraines are most annoying and disruptive to quilting and skating. One on Monday and again yesterday. The weather here is changing - rain expected this weekend - and I am convinced that the shift in the barometric pressure affects my headaches. 

Only got 45 minutes of skating in this week and I can't skate today due to my migraine 'hangover' (the effect of the medications the next day). I am praying for a headache-free day so I can finish cutting out fabric (using my great slotted ruler) for next quilt.
