Its kind of funny to use a teapot to illustrate my lady day, since there was no tea involved (except for the cup I made myself just a few minutes ago), rather some espresso, some singing, a game of hockey, and getting quite messy drawing with my daughter.

We had our first game today back in our old division, having been unceremoniously relegated in November and then getting moved back up in January. I was rather disgruntled at the move down, having about the strongest team we’ve ever had it seemed unthinkable that with our new, stronger players we were not able to compete with teams that we’ve been playing against for the past few years. I suppose that it was taking a bit of time to get used to each other, coupled with a high number of absences by the 5 or so players who really can make a difference on the ice in the early part of the year. Although it was kind of fun to have a hair less stress on the ice, I’m pretty glad to be back where we were. It was nice that we won today against the team that broke my finger last year. It was nice that our goalie got another shutout (her third one in a row).
