I saw it late yesterday and hadn't quite realized their last day would be exactly 90 days and I started today. It's no matter, I love skating and I'm on my skates every day anyway.  What better way to use my rusty editing skills than some fun skate videos?

I don't do as many tricks, as I'm focused on more dance skating and I like to solo skate a lot, with my music in, but today was a hard day.  I have contractors at my house - the amount of imbedded sexism I faced today felt insurmountable, but of course it wasn't.  Still.  Strugging against that is exhausting.  You may win, or better, shift things a few degrees with the hope that those small inches change the trajectory, but it really takes it out of a body and a measure of soul too. 

It was great to lay that aside, and move around on my feet a bit.  Not pictured in the video is that there's a new threshold going out the door and I'd forgotten that and gave my body a good wrenching. Thank goodness for judo, I must say.

It's been a great small evening, spent luxuriating in the bath and cruising the hashtag for skate videos all around the world.  

I'd have more to say but all my words had to be used up as hammers today. There are times when skating has to be what it is, and maybe my video below will explain a little better, for those who don't skate.
