I missed a session on friday, because I just didn't feel like going. And then today, I'm missing out because I've started my period, and on LC they're always dramatically messy and painful. Silver lining, though, they're also quickly over.

My fractional plates haven't arrived yet, so yesterday I broke down and bought two sets of 0.5 kg ankle weights. They'll do until I get the plates. I also found out there's a nice lifting-focused sports equipment store downtown! It would be strange if there wasn't, of course, it IS the capital. It'll be there if anywhere.

After the boxing lesson I got to hike out on the ice again, it's still open for foot traffic. There was even a whole waffle stand, complete with portable generator, out on the ice! I had on a set of ice spikes, to walk more safely, and they did the trick. Will be using them more next winter if there's safe ice then. Doesn't happen every year, and often doesn't last very long.
