batskeets | How'd my Saturday go?

Skip to 32:22 on THIS:

I did some cool blocker things, too, but OH MAN, jamming was the most fun. I was completely not expecting to, because we have a strong jammer rotation, they knew that I had been sick, and I was still coughing a bit on the day-of. Even though there were only 2 opposing blockers and it wasn't even that hard, it was SO EXCITING.

That second pass when I squeaked by on the inside was a little scary. I felt my wheels come up against the rope on the boundary line, but not actually go over it, so I ran on through because I was still in-bounds. I halfway expected to be wrong about that and get a cut penalty, but then the refs just gave me my points and nothing bad happened. Even if I never jam in a game again, I'm glad I got to do it once, and that it went well.

Joe came down to hug me right after and I think he was as excited as I was. AND he had glitter in his beard to go with our green and gold colors. He is so freakin' adorable. :D

I'm also doubly-grateful for him today, after talking with the client who came in for a headshot earlier. She basically told me that she was late getting to the studio because of drama relating to her divorce from her controlling and awful soon-to-be-ex-husband, and that she was trying not to look like she had been crying. She mentioned that she was referred by a personal stylist I know, and that she wasn't even sure what clothes she liked, because her ex always made those decisions.

It was sad to hear about, and also sort of a relief because at least she's gotten away from that situation. I wasn't even quite sure what to say to a lot of it. But, yeah, I feel lucky.
