skated after my shift and my legs were dead for about two laps then suddenly fine so obviously i stayed longer than i said i would lol the rink was pretty empty and i could hear each edge instead of everyone yelling for the puck, tried going backwards as fast as my sister thinks i can and nearly proved her wrong but stayed up, wrists intact 2 out of 2. when i took my helmet off the air felt freezing on my forehead even though i was sweating everywhere else. got home hungry enough to eat the fridge door, mum had left pasta and i actually sat down for it because my legs had changed their mind about being fine

dad said he might come watch next game and now i keep checking if he said might or will like the text is gonna change. told the boys he was coming then had to say probably, whatever its his shift that decides not me. i want him there because when something good happens he makes enough noise for the whole rink and its funny even when mum pretends not to know him. also if i play bad he just asks what we want from tims after. havent asked him again because then its a whole thing. my sister says i asked her to read the same text twice and she wants paying now, absolute business genius twelve years old

uncle made me explain why a skate i sharpened was ready instead of just saying it looked good and i actually knew how to say it, which surprised me because at school when a teacher asks me something my brain normally opens an empty cupboard. i can see the edges and remember what happened while i was working, its not like those maths questions where some guy buys twelve watermelons for no reason. tried picturing the question as stuff in the pro shop and got further then forgot what i was doing and counted tape. there are way too many colours btw, nobody needs tape the exact colour of a highlighter but we sell it
