Z and I had a quiet little dinner together for Thanksgiving. Not as good as one at home, sitting at the little coffee table and eating by ourselves. But we had fresh vegetables arranged nicely on a pretty plate, a spinach cheese pie (my mom gave me the recipe she always uses), and mashed potatoes in my new souffle dish with orange dogwoods on it (bought with some matching ramekins - I managed to freak out eBay with my VPN in the process of buying it, whoops). For dinner, homemade egg-white brownies and whipped cream. I had to direct, but Z did half the work and we managed to stay on top of all the dish-washing as we went along. And his cat Koro didn't eat any of it!
I am thankful that nobody I am very close to has gotten sick, and that my parents and friends are not COVID deniers.
Today, I went skating again; my edges are mostly back, I improved on spins today, and my waltz hop is more confident. Really, I'm at a place where I have enough back that I need lessons to improve again. But last I heard my coach was injured or something, plus I'm probably only going to go again once before Christmas. Z and I are thinking of visiting my parents for Christmas, so we'd be self-isolating for two weeks beforehand (no idea if it's required by law back home, but I like my parents not being dead, so). And who knows if I'll want to go again after we get back, or if the rink will even be open?
At least I can take the off-ice skates up to the nearby tennis court whenever. They still need to be adjusted a bit and edges are much trickier in them, but it's great skating with nobody else around and I can listen to podcasts if I want.
In happier news, ICE ADO TRAILER yes finally :D I'm not holding my breath on it coming out soon (maybe for 2022 Olympics??) but I want Victor backstory so much.
