curling.
I asked two people if they could spare for me tonight, because I felt like crap, but neither of them could do it and my team was supposed to bring snacks, as well - so I bit the bullet, thanked merciful fate for my Brand New Reserved Parking Space, and went along. I knew it would be good for me to get out of the house, in any case.
Only I couldn't breathe deeply enough to call for sweeping so my girls could hear me - not without triggering a lengthy and painful coughing fit. So they could call to me, and I could only communicate with hand signals until they got close enough to hear me speaking fairly quietly. We won the toss and gave up a steal of one in the first. And then we took six in the second, stole four over the next three ends, gave them a single in the sixth, took three in the seventh, and played the eighth even though we were up 13-2 because ties are broken by percentage of ends won, so we sort of had to. (They got one and we were all glad.)
Might have to consider the mostly-silent method more often.
