This weekend was supposed to be the Ontario Adult Championships.
In the end, it was canceled due to Covid. Even if it hadn’t have been, I wouldn’t have been there on account of all the tendon problems from the cipro.
I was registered for dance and showcase, having decided to hold off on freeskate for next time (yes, after making my Dalek dress MONTHS ahead of time. Whoops!)
Anyway, a few of us decided to get dome up in our dresses, do hair and makeup, and share pics of our “competition at home”.
It was extremely difficult for me – I could barely get my skates on (loads of foot swelling), and hand to be helped to my spot, using a cane.
I didn’t want the cipro pain to overshadow the memory, so I asked my husband to take it away for the photo – and standing on skates without it was really, really difficult.
… I really hope this goes away soon. 4 antibiotic pills shouldn’t be able to cripple you for almost a month!
Anyway, this was my dance dress:
I posted about making it here.
And this was my Showcase program dress:
… that I’d posted about here.
This one is a weird one to mourn, as I hadn’t don’t a ton of the choreography for it, by the time Cipro took me off the ice.
It was cute, though – never pictured the day when I’d be skating a program with a hobby horse!
Next year, hopefully.
