in which deafgirl has a Big Weekend

I passed my orange star assessment, so I can scrimmage in practice now! It kicks my ass. Because of the nature of roller derby, almost the whole game is going on behind you and you are repsonsible for offense and defense, simultaneously. Additionally, people are trying to knock you over the whole time. It's a lot to wrap one's head around, and I'm sure glad I'm not allowed to bout in public yet because, boy, that would be embarrassing.

I put in an offer on a house this weekend, and am waiting to hear back. I went a little low, but left room for bargaining, and my agent says it's low but still reasonable. He doesn't see any reason they wouldn't work with it. I like the house and I want it. All appendages are crossed.
