sitting this weekend

elizabeyta in life, quilting

I spent a lot of time sitting in this rocking chair this weekend.  It is my rocking chair.  If I do not say it is mine, it has a tendency to get snitched by the other family member.  I needed to finish this quilt, which I did, but I also really needed to be off my feet.  

I cracked my right ankle a year and half ago.  Do not ask me how, because I do not know.  I do know there was much pain.  Either at the time or during the healing process, I screwed up tendons and ligaments in the foot and ankle too.  I have found skateboarding (or landsurfing as my Beloved calls it) stretches out and strengthens all those tendons and ligaments.  And I over do SO well!  The only way I got that foot into my figure skate on Sunday was that it had been in my hockey skate doing laps first!

I always find the most interesting ways to rehab.  And tonight I am a bit bruised.  I did a very good technical fall.  The three year old wandering all around blowing bubbles is fine.  It was me or him.  I chose me.  It did kill the downhill though.... sigh... Really good bruises.  Something to smile at tomorrow and try to ice skate through.

This is a bit of a babble today.
