So I booked it from work yesterday to Darby's school because she had softball practice at 6. Turns out it was cancelled mid-day and no one bothered to tell us. So I could have let her mom take her when she picked up Shelby for fencing. Argh. Instead I had to take Darby across town to the fencing place, but that worked out because I was finally able to see Shelby in her fencing get-up. I hadn't seen her facility or her practicing since she started because I hadn't been able to get over to that side of town in time, usually due to a Darby practice or game.
Shelby had her first fencing test yesterday. That little green ribbon on her chest signifies she passed her test and is now an apprentice junior musketeer or something like that. There are many levels to this fencing thing and I'm not familiar with them all yet. As her reward for doing well, her mom bought Shelby her own glove and foil, which Shelby just loves, of course. I don't think I had my first sword until I was eight, so Shelby has me beat.
After I dropped off Darby, I went back in to work to get caught up on some stuff. You don't even want to know how long I was there. But let's just say I'm only working half a day today because I already worked the rest of it yesterday.
But it was a mostly (not entirely) suck-free day. So maybe I should thank Jim for that hug.
