Apr. 7th, 2019 06:06 pm Today was a lovely day, the weather was awesome.
I watched the Women's Worlds games that were on today, mostly. I watched the France-Sweden one fully but only half watched the USA-Switzerland one because USA so dominated it and I tend to dislike those kinds of games. Also the game caller on NHL Network is an asshole and I always mute him so I don't know what's going on as much. Actually, he's worse than listening to the game caller in Swedish because at least then the talking becomes background noise and it makes me able to hear the person playing the trumpet/possibly airhorn in support of their team. I couldn't figure out which team. There was a full on trumpet at yesterdays Germany-Japan game and they played a victory song with Germany won. So fucking funny. There were also cowbells in support of Switzerland today. Hockey is wild.
I got some spinning done while sitting out on the balcony with the dog. I'm working with mystery roving that I apparently didn't write any information about anywhere, even online. It's got a shorter staple and it's not combed as nicely as the first set of roving that I've been working with so I was struggling for a little while. But I figured it out now, I just need to pre-draft it much more than I think I need to and then I can properly draft from it and get the consistency I want.
Then I went ice skating and I can now somewhat do a backwards crossover. Kinda. Sorta. I'm going backwards and my legs are crossing vaguely in the direction they should be, so it's a win. I'm extremely inconsistent with my transitions, sometimes they feel like magic and a lot of the time I can't manage it. There's something not clicking quite right in my muscles but I just need to keep working on it. I think I'm not lifting enough as I do it but eh. I did fall a couple of times. One thing that happens is about halfway through the session, my balance goes to shit. I don't know if it's not enough muscle built up or just general fatigue that I don't notice or if I'm not bending my knees enough but I have a lot more trouble. Honestly, it's probably the last one.
Apparently since this is the only arena with open skates, a bunch of figure skating coaches come and teach students in the middle of the arena. Which was less terrible than I anticipated it to be. One of the coaches from the learn to skate was teaching someone and she was said she was glad to see me practicing.
I came back, walked the dog and then Jade wanted delivery, so we got delivery and I ordered nachos, which, I had very low hopes for. The chips were soggy and the cheese was cold but like, that was the best damn melted cheese I've ever had???? Baffling but delicious. I ate a ton and now I'm getting tired.
I should probably get the one sidejob task done tonight but we'll see.
