It was a typical month: school, co-op, a few outings. Highlights were Valentine's Day, tubing, and the tea fundraiser I posted about. A few other items of interest . . .
Experimenting for my art class! This is a page from Wreck This Journal Everywhere. Floating in water.
Our co-op had a Victorian tea field trip at The Roosevelt Inn. I went without Kylen, because he's not big on outings with silly girls in frilly dresses, sipping tea and making polite conversation. ;)
This window reminded me of Beauty and the Beast. A single rose . . .
My uncle's family invited us to play laser tag. Greg and Kylen already had plans, so it was just me. It figures that the one time I go without them, I have my best games ever. Of the many times I've played, I have MAYBE gotten a third place once. Never a first. I also do not do well when there are fewer players than the high 20's. I got a 3rd out of 30 players the first game, which was amazing in itself. But the second game . . .
I got a first! That was a first! And with only 16 players??? It was like a miracle. My feet are usually too sore to walk fast enough to keep up with people as they move about, and the fewer the players, the harder to find. I also have a difficult time going up ramps to the higher levels and often have to hang out on the bottom floor. This night, my feet were in unusually good shape, and I was more mobile. Even then, it's remarkable that I did so well. I don't remember getting a first place even back before arthritis.
This meant a lot to me. I grew up doing lots of competitive physical activities with family: volleyball, basketball, hockey, soccer, etc. It's been tough not being able to participate or performing poorly due to disabilities. I can only explain this as a gift, and I'm going to treasure the memory. :)
