 I was at work and the power went out and it went out in the building next to us.

We all just hung around for maybe ten fifteen minutes. I had been printing and the wifi was off so nothing to do. The emergency lights made beeping noises that were in different pitches. 

And then we got told to leave the building! 

So I said, haha I'm going home because I've got a laptop. and I did a little bit of work but the printing was my big project for the day so I went ice skating instead. 

It was a new rink for me and there was only ten people or so because it's a tuesday at noon and I got some of my practice in on skating backwards, right crossovers, backwards pumping, weight shifting and then I ended with skating backwards and lifting up one foot and gliding for as long as I could. I think I need to get that down before I go back to working on hockey transitions. I did start working on the skating with feet in two different directions so you spin in a circle and that went okay. I fell right when one of the figure skaters and her coach were right there and the coach asked if I was okay. I said, yep and I do that a lot, so that was kinda funny. 

Why do rinks mostly have weekday around lunch time public skates? I don't understand. Although, that other rink I went to tells me why, no one goes to week night skates!

And then I got home and this story on the NWHL exploded as breaking news while I was skating so thanks woho, please let me do one (1) thing without stuff happening. I think we all just need a quick break to watch some great hockey at World's and we can figure out the rest later.

oh yeah, apparently I got a raise? my boss had been on a call with other folks and then he tossed me a stick note that said he got me a raise so that's exciting.

 the whole women's hockey thing has me glued to twitter which is suuuper bad for my mental health. it's so compulsive to just keep clicking refresh and refresh and refresh more and more. I hate it and it makes me feel bad, which is why I left it so long ago and also tumblr. in conclusion: I'm getting off my computer and going to read and then sleep and no more twitter for tonight. also I'm feeling anxious because of everything going on even though I'm not actually involved in any way shape or form except as a fan so this is for sure getting absurd.
