So, Connecticut!  It was great to visit my sister and her family.  My niece's boyfriend's family ended up coming to the games.  His little sister is 9, and she did a report on roller derby in school and was TRANSFIXED by the games.  It was so cool.

Anyway, what was not cool....

During the second half of the second game, I was jam reffing and either got tangled up in my own skates (or someone took me out; I'm not sure which) and landed thigh-first on one of my wheels.  I tried to get up but my thigh was like NOPE NOT GONNA HAPPEN so I yelled at the Rear IPR (who was not HRing) to take over for me.  Once the jam ended, the other refs were like "Do we need to get the medics" and between my thigh and the fact it was 900000° with 10000000% humidity, I was like "Yes, please get the medics" so they came out and helped me to their station and then sat me outside with an ice pack on my leg.

this was Tuesday evening.  the little cut in the "eye of the hurricane" part is from my truck's axle

I usually do not bruise, either, so I must've broken, like, every single blood vessel in my leg or something.  It doesn't hurt now, except when I accidentally touch it or my husband decides he's going to be cute and pokes it.  Tonight'll be the first time I'll skate since it happened; hopefully it won't hurt.
