With footie season done, it's time to gear up for hockey season. So, this Saturday I skipped one of my TIFF films to attend the women only coaching seminar. It was an on-ice lesson and I was looking forward to getting on the ice again.

Remember last week I said I was diagnosed with osteoporosis? (You can see where this is going, right?)

I'm on the ice for five minutes, I'm standing there listening to the instructor to explain the next drill, and I absentmindedly lean back on my skates.

The thing with hockey skates is that the blades are rounded. Lean backwards and you keep going. So. I start to fall, I flail around, and I fall. Right on my left hand.

Crunch.

Yep, I broke my left wrist. And yep, I'm left-handed.

I'm going to be in a cast for 4 to 6 weeks. I'm being optimistic and hoping I can play with my team soon after that.

All-in-all, I'm going to be quite happy to see the end of 2019.

P.S. Typing one-handed sucks.

In the past week:

I have started getting hot flashes (and I know my friend have told me they suck, but, man, they really suck; like they're-messing-up-my-sleep-big-time suck)

Had my far-too-old laptop finally die on me, taking two hours at an Apple genius bar and half a day of wiping and reinstalling and restoring to get it working again (I've now ordered the new machine I meant to get six months ago, lest it die on me again)

I've got my fingers crossed the universe doesn't have any other little surprises stored up for me.
