Yesterday, I was feeling pretty *punk* but ran errands with DH, like going to the appliance store as we are much in need of a new oven, which seems to have died on us. I was feeling slightly off when we left the house. For the rest of the day, my condition went downhill, until at 5:00 pm I announced to DH that I was going to bed-not to nap, but to sleep, as in until today. I felt dreadful by day's end and could hardly even move as every muscle seemed to ache. I immediately fell asleep (maybe it was around 5:30) and slept until 8:00 am this morning. Am still in *yuck* mode, but did manage to complete the dog-theme quilt for my neighbor's wife, as the extra fabric came in the mail yesterday. If this isn't the swine flu (I don't really think it is), whatever it is isn't any fun. So, today I am just taking it easy, cutting out some fabric for the next Cabin Fever BOM.
I do hope to feel better by Monday, so I can skate in the morning. This coming week is going to be pretty hectic, with the trip to SF for skates and doing required health screens to allow my volunteer activities with the Mercy/Catholic Healthcare West Hospice and Home Health department.
I desperately (o.k., that's a little dramatic) want to find some *fab* music for a new program. My BSB found some that is absolutely gorgeous and she will create a magnificent program I know. Watching one of the younger adult skaters (she skated as a kid) doing her Christmas program resulted in my feeling completely inadequate in my skating, hence, my "complaining" to Coach J about my lack of inspiration/progress in the sport. I really wanted to skate yesterday and see my BSB and another great skating friend who is preparing for her Pre-Gold dance test on the 11th. Good for you, Suzee! I found out from my BSB that there is no test session in January, so my Ten Fox will have time to "cook more," thus increasing the likelihood of actually passing this dance. I'd like to target taking the 14-Step test at the same time as the Ten Fox, but that's a stretch.
Off to cut out fabric and then, I think it will be nap time. Hope I kick this bug very soon!
Onward, with the hope and optimism this time of the year brings.
A Great Ride Through the Last Third of My Life.

Was planning on the 10:30 & 11:30 FS sessions on Monday. We have someone coming to measure for the new oven at 9:00, so I can't get to the rink earlier. Maybe we were each feeling each other's skating vibes, without knowing it - or not! :) That we each e-mailed Coach after the fact probably helped her feel much better. I did feel awful about sounding like it was her issue to resolve, not mine. "Open mouth, insert foot" is a character flaw of mine. I hope I can find music as beautiful as yours. Have you seen Ms. Kelli's Christmas program? It's beautiful and she skates it that way. Think she will do this for the CCCE. Coach reminded me that she had skated as a kid and that she is . . . well, MUCH younger than me. Oh, and did I mention much, much more talented than I will EVER be? :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with your observation about Coach's comment re K. I knew she meant exactly that.
ReplyDeleteWas thinking about skating a program to "Pie Jesus" ("Requiem"). But, I already had bad luck with one program to chanting music.
Coach DOES NOT hate you at all. In fact, she adores you!
