helmet decoration ahoy!

helmet with Miffy in a referee uniform and a "she/her" vinyl sticker
 

(the black sticker is covering the S1 logo)

the Miffy design is one I created a few years ago, based off a "Queen Miffy" design (I added the stripes and the wheels)

I have a sticker that says "YOU'RE HECKLING THE WRONG RULE SET" that I want to put on the other side so badly but I should probably refrain.

optimistic? for once in my life, kinda

I bought a new helmet and wrist guards last week.  I do occasionally* skate outdoors, so I have them for that, at least.

I HAVE FOUND A LIPSTICK THAT WILL LAST ON MY FACE FOR MORE THAN THIRTY SECONDS.  Revlon ColorStay Overtime LipColor.  The glossy topcoat is gummy AF but once it dries, it legit works.  With it on, I have eaten dinner, wiped my mouth with a napkin, drunk from a water bottle, spit my whistle out repeatedly, pulled my whistle out of my mouth while creating as much friction as possible on it with my lips, and only the tiniest bit of it wore away.  

So of course I find it when (a) I'm not officiating and (b) when the lip part of my face is covered with a mask any time I am not at home


---------------------
*Skating outdoors is nice in theory, but in practice it turns into "sweating up a storm in 85° weather with all my safety gear on" and the roads right around my house aren't very smoothly paved.  There's one street about two blocks away that was paved not too long ago, so the last time I went I just went up and down it about twenty times.
