I'M STOKED! I took a new (higher paying, less hours) job last week; and it's awesome. Unfortunately, it has really cut into my "skating 3hrs a day" routine. During the interview process, I was extremely busy between work and making all the preparations. And now that I've got the job; I've been extremely exhausted by the time I get home. I work less DAYS a week, which is incredible... but I work more hours each day; and adjusting to my new schedule has been pretty difficult.
Not to mention; I've been nervous about falling and getting hurt. It's not something I can really afford to do at a new job. At my old job; I wouldn't have cared too much (lol) about going in with a sprain wrist and explaining what happened. But it's not a good look to a new employeer.
It's kinda been a slap back to reality. I love skating soo much; but I've got to keep in mind.. I'm an adult. It's not like when you're 13 years old, and you go into school with a cast on your leg or arm, and just laugh it off with your friends. I have a job. I have a child. I have a home, with bills and obligations. Finding the fine line of sacrifice is difficult; but it's not impossible.
I love pushing myself further and further into progression; but I've gotta know WHEN and WHERE it's appropriate. It's a funny balancing act; but I'm sure I'll get better at it with time.
Man...... being an adult, sucks!! hahahaha
