so

My ankle is, like, at 99.99999% functionability (and yes, THAT IS A WORD).

Monday night was new skater practice, and we had them play Connect Four, which is this thing we do where four skaters go out on the track at once and just try to knock everyone else down.  If you go down or go out of bounds, you're out and someone takes your place.

The more accomplished skaters were laying out decent hits, but some of them were still "oh, I'm going to bump you lightly on the shoulder with my shoulder" and I just wanted to go out there and LAY THEM OUT FLAT.

(One skater had a TOTAL TEXTBOOK AWESOME booty to the thigh hit that swept both of that skater's feet out from her.  That was AWESOME.)

Our home practices start 8/2, and I plan on being off skates until then just to let my ankle fix itself up.  Whee!
