Wheels on my feet

I got an email today from Donna Slay (aren't derby names fun?) of Northside Rollers. It seems I am woman enough to play with the big girls. So between my therapist session on Saturday morning and a birthday party I've committed to attending in the afternoon I will get myself a helmet and mouthguard which I will take along with my recently acquired skates and a winning smile to Puckhandlers Stadium in Reservoir for tryouts on the 18th. I am rustier than a rusty thing on skates but I don't think that's anything which a good amount of training won't fix. I also find myself thinking that any birthday party you turn up to with a helmet and mouthguard has serious expectations to live up to.

I'm going to have fun with this I think.
