One More Day
Always on an Edge ― This past Sunday, I headed to the rink reluctantly. I knew, thanks to my monitoring duties, that I would get in very little ice time. Little did I know that that ice time would be less than I expected and that I would lose something. There is only... (more)

I Have Feelings
Always on an Edge ― The above statement is probably a surprise to many people. Yep, I have feelings. You wouldn't think it, since I am a "big" woman of darker complexion. Yes, I am 5'6 1/4 inches tall and weigh over 165 pounds (although I don't look THAT fat, but I do... (more)

A Brief Intermission...
Always on an Edge ― I have injured my wrists (along with my rotor cuffs) doing who knows what. The end result is forced rest with no typing or signing for several days. I can't turn a door knob, open a bottle or carry anything heavy, or even light.With that in mind, I... (more)

If I Only Knew...
Always on an Edge ― I have been battling a really bad sore throat on and off for a month and a half. It comes, makes it almost impossible to swallow and quietly goes away. I've been trying to get to my doctor to have her look at it, but it disappears before I can be... (more)

Wish...
Always on an Edge ― I wish I didn't have to write this particular entry. It is something I feel must be said, but I really wish I didn't have to.No, I'm not quitting skating; at least not yet. That entry may be written in a few months at the rate things are going. This... (more)

Really People? Really??
Always on an Edge ― Under most circumstances, I don't mind when someone suddenly cancels on me. Things come up, people get sick; I understand. I am not so egotistical that I believe the world revolves around me. The last time I looked, the world (earth) still revolved... (more)

A Few More Lessons Learned
Always on an Edge ― Really, I must get to the rink more often. This would be accomplished if I had the monetary funds to do so and didn't park my car 8 1/2 blocks from my apartment. Now that the time has changed (Daylight Savings Time, I think) it seems so dark at 5... (more)

Lessons Learned
Always on an Edge ― Having crawled my way out of my hole depression enough to see the surface, I have learned a few things: 1. Don't complain about your depression to certain friends; the conversation will suddenly become all about them. And you know who you are! 2.... (more)

Totally Off Topic
Always on an Edge ― This has very little, if anything to do with skating. It does, however, have a lot to do with, well, me.On top of my other annoying ailments (back, cough, stomach, weight and now knees), I suffer from a sometimes debilitating depression. There are... (more)

Pleasantly Surprised
Always on an Edge ― There was no session on Sunday due to President's Day weekend. That is not to say that I slept in. No, I had the opportunity to work with my ASL mentor earlier in the day. Who knew reupholstering a chair could be so much fun?I attend three different... (more)

Same Old Song, Slightly Different Twist
Always on an Edge ― Due to the lack of decent ice time for those of us who must work in order to remain on said ice, I have returned to the thankless job of being Ice Monitor for the Sunday morning sessions at the rink in Manhattan. Thankless is the key word here. ... (more)

One Day More...
Always on an Edge ― I can see freedom in the horizon and I am heading toward it. There is only one, I repeat, one session left on Sunday mornings for me to monitor. I am almost free! And as I've said before, I will NEVER, EVER monitor again. Being an ice monitor, at... (more)

A Slight Step Backwards
Always on an Edge ― I caught a cold two weeks ago. It won't away. Now it's in my chest and I sound like I'm coughing up a lung. I can't catch my breath. I had to stop working out at lunch because all I want to do is sleep. And I can't breathe.I didn't go to the... (more)

SSDD
Always on an Edge ― So, at work I got a new title. Nope, no money involved, but the title "Director" sounds cool. There are only 3 people in my department. In my company EVERYONE was made a director, so, it's safe to say that this was something to make everyone happy. I... (more)
