   Random Insight Into My Life
Goodness, I look like I've been abused. Volleyball season is quickly coming to a close (WHY MUST THE BASKETBALL SEASON BE SO MUCH LONGER?!?) and I am raking up the bruises/battlewounds XD. Seriously, that's what the majority of my team (well, more so last year than this year) considers bruises and everything. In our eyes, that means you play hard. And for people like me who tend to bruise rather easily.... SCORE!! lol I have a bruise on the bottom/side of my right arm that's about the size of a silver dollar, if not bigger. I'm quite proud of this thing! It appeared almost instantly when I got it in a game too. But the funny thing it, the center of it isn't bruised so it's just kinda of an off bruise ring (in all actuality it looks like a giant octopus got me with a sucker XD ). And then there are my poor knees that take quite the beating. Whenever I manage to dive, there's always a part of my right knee that I hit on the ground (something I proved the few times I didn't where kneepads in practice) and apparently, the bulk of my knee pad doesn't really protect that one spot.... I have a nice bruise there too. Especially after yesterday when I mauled it when diving. Goodness that hurt =@_@= and my coach thought I was giving the evil eye to the peoples hitting the ball (we were doing a drill where half of the team was on the court in regular setup and the rest were hitting the ball at us and we had to get 15 points before they got 5). And elbows just aren't meant to take my weight lol. They do that, and I get painful floorburns that will pester me for some off weeks. But I regretfully say that our State tournament is this Wednesday through Saturday. Though the team is very young, we're looking to do decent, so long as we wing our first two games lol. So lots of prayers on that! Through all of the ordeals this season, though, I've come to the conclusion that I'm just plain getting old =@_@=. My shoulder knotted up so badly this weekend that I slept on an ice pack for over 2 hours Sunday. I'm quite the sight after every game we have because my knees take such a beating that I pretty much limp every time after the game 'cause they're too weak to support me regularly. And standing up straight? Yeah... Right... Back's shot too. XD And to think I have basketball all the way till February...................... Time to go back to my heat pad and not dwell on it anymore XD =^_^=
