the day has arrived!
tonight i will put on my skates. i have done this before, at home, and it's gone all right. scars hurt a bit, but i can live with that.
the big news: after i put on my skates i will then attempt to skate. i saw attempt because i have no idea what i'll be able to do. i'm really excited but also a bit apprehensive. tho i just told Viv i'm more excited than apprehensive, which is true. i wasn't that great of a skater before the GAB, so i hope i am at least able to skate forward without falling down. turning would be nice, too.
Liz might be wearing yellow pants; if not, red. Andrea will be wearing blue pants. and me? black. maybe new, maybe old. i'll see which set of pants calls to me this evening.
aside: why is one pant a "pair of pants"? same goes for scissors.

Just take it easy. If you get tired (or sore), stop and rest. Then go for a few more laps. Repeat as necessary.
Oh, and if your skates aren't sharp, don't sharpen them until you feel comfortable again. Then you don't have to worry about catching an edge...especially if you try to work your way into stops (snowplow style or otherwise).
