from watching the Stars Across Texas tournament in Austin.  Houston Roller Derby‘s HaRD Knocks team did not do as well as expected, but at least we did not finish last.  I’m not even sure it would have been any different if I could have played.  Seeing your team lose like that makes you doubt your own skills, especially when the only skill you have right now is the ability to maneuver crutches without breaking the other ankle.  However, I’m in a much better mood in general, just because I was there!

I’m not a total invalid!
I got to go watch the HaRD Knocks play in Austin. I seriously didn’t think I would make it, but I actually got some semi-decent sleep and felt much better Sunday morning than Saturday morning. Unfortunately, HRD came in third, but some up-and-coming skaters got some good experience out there. They made me proud to be a part of HRD.
