taking action
today i had an intake interview at a local psychiatric hospital. i start their day program tomorrow morning at 9am. so, yeah, i'm getting help. thank you everyone for being so supportive. you all rock. i love you each individually (in case i don't tell you soon).
in other news, stuck in traffic on the way home from the interview, i saw a poster for houston roller derby!!! http://www.houstonrollerderby.com/ so tonight i went to academy and bought a thirty dollar pair of skates (the only traditional skates with ankle support in stock). i decided to start training for january try-outs. kick ass sport for an asthmatic with a bad knee?

If my asthma and bad knee were my only issues (and not my bad back which was just aggravated by the little fuckers who come to my library) I would go out for roller derby - I actually just thought that earlier tonight!!! lol I'd say go for it - a great way to work out stress and anxiety. Me, I'll stick to yoga. Let us know how it goes Roller Derby Mama! ;-)
Weird; you're the second person this week to talk about roller derby to me.
Day program - that means you go home at night, right?
I suggest swimming for asthmatics with bad knees ;
Sorry to hear about the ickness. Thoughts and prayers your way.
Let me know how the rollerderby thing goes, I am curious as to if it is fun to watch.
Actually, chlorinated pools are really bad for asthma. Water does help with arthritis (an issue in most cases of bad knees) but drinking it is just as good or better than swimming in it.
Just my half-edumacated opinion, of course.

if you're really interested in trying out for the houston roller derby, you should see john mckay at heights skate shop. he's the official equipment manager for HRD and the only viable source for good skates in houston.
also, the girls from the league lead frequent night street skates - another great way to meet everyone and practice, since our league practices are closed to the public. you can check out times and dates for upcoming street skates at http://groups.myspace.com/houstonderby
good luck.
