Mar. 26th, 2019 10:51 am I went ice skating last night. That rink is going to close this week, they said the 31st but we've got three days all over 50 degrees and the nights above freezing so I think that's done.
But it was super good. There were three other people there for like 20 minutes and then they left. I got to work skating right and my right crossovers which are still wonky but I spent time working on a small circle since I could and definitely improved it. I also worked on my transitions which I've figured out are really fatiguing even if I don't think so at first.
I've got it going left at a little bit of speed but my rights need work for sure. One reason they're more fatiguing is that as I kept practicing, it got harder and harder to swing my body around without accidentally stopping partway through. I think this is something I need to learn hockey style because it's very much figure skating style and I think that's part of the issue since my feet are close together. It's also that, I'm just not that balanced yet.
But it was good to have the rink to myself and I definitely needed the exercise.
I skipped making dinner to do it but it was fine.
I'm going to make either meatballs or meatloaf tonight, I haven't decided which. The only difference really is the shape. I also need to do laundry. I will either make brownies tonight or tomorrow night and I'm going to put sour cherries in them because it's delicious

Fun fact, I just bought two more tomato varieties that have late blight resistance to use in my breeding stuff so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No chill when it comes to plants. I'm doing some work in exchange for plants being raised for me, so at least I'm not spending more money there. I'm bringing the brownies with me.
