I have been neglecting this website. Two updates in like four months, unacceptable. I apologize, mostly to myself, since i’m the only one that reads this. Sorry Cindigo….you deserve more.

I’ve been to Hawaii twice and am quitting roller derby. I know right!?! All those previous posts about how awesome roller derby was, and what an obsessed fiend I had become and now this.

I hurt my knee a few months ago and decided to take a month off to rehab it. While rehabbing it, I realized that it was more messed up than I originally thought. It wasn’t irreversible. It wasn’t anything that some yoga and a balanced workout schedule couldn’t correct. But, during that month of not going to practice I realized that not only didn’t I really miss it, I felt a lot better physically and mentally, not doing derby.

I could go into the boring details, and there are a few, about the way things are run and how much of the time I felt like I was a part of an organization that combined the worst qualities of a college sorority and a cult, but I won’t (although, I just kind of did).

There are some great friends that I met and will keep. I do miss the camaraderie, unfortunately I don’t miss it enough to break my ankles or ruin my knees. I would have been in 100% if this was ten years ago. Back then, I still thought I was invincible. It wasn’t the place for me right now, but if anyone asked me if they should try it I would enthusiastically tell them “yes”.

Right now, we’re driving back from Vegas after rendezvousing with the Vegas faction of the Denver/Vegas baseball collective. Meetings were had and I will be losing my husband to programming for the next month or so. Expect some troubles from me. I act up a little when I don’t have supervision.
