I am sad.

I have been saving my pennies to get that coveted rookie package so that I can start skating. I have an absolutely awesome friend who has put money in to help me get there, but with our limited income in this house, I have had to put off ordering my skates for about two months now. I have to wait another few weeks. Frustration abounds. I REALLY need to get started building up endurance, balance and skills, but I cannot begin skating without skates. I could use the diversion since work has been extremely hectic and will continue to be so for another two to three weeks at the very least. If it's worth doing, it must be worth waiting for though right?
