Over the weekend something rather peculiar happened to me. On Saturday I played my usual game of Ultimate Frisbee with a bunch of guys who are much taller than me. I get knocked around, but nothing really bad. This Saturday I seemed to somehow have a target on me as people kept accidentally knocking into me. So much so that I began to catch the frisbee and then turn and duck away from the person covering me. I blame most of it on the fact that I'm like a foot shorter than most of the guys so when they run, they don't see me. I'm like a gnome to them.
That's not the peculiar part. I think it's best to break this thing down into time.
1:15pm: Start playing Ultimate frisbee.
2:30pm ish: I deflect a frisbee away from two players, we all fall to the ground un-injured. My hand might have been bumped in the collision but it doesn't hurt.
3:45pm: Ultimate Frisbee is over. I'm sweaty and kinda dirty but otherwise unharmed.
4:00pm: I pick up some stuff from Whole Foods, using my arms. All is well.
4:30pm: I bake some awesome gingerbread/flax muffins.
6:00pm: I watch The Shield and eat some dinner.
8:30pm: David Alex and I go to my friend Jana's birthday party downtown.
9:00pm: We get lost downtown.
9:10pm: We enter Villian's Tavern and I drink some liquored up Hot Chocolate out of a jar.
9:30pm: We mingle with the people. I chat with an already tipsy Jana.
9:45pm: My wrist starts to feel a bit stiff. I stretch it and hold my drink in my left hand instead.
10pm: I can't put my right arm down as the blood rush makes my hand and wrist throb.
10:15pm: I'm unable to successfully shake hands with anyone new I meet and have to give them the left hand which just confuses them further.
10:30pm: I'm convinced my wrist is sprained as I can't open my hand without pain.
10:45pm: I'm not looking forward to the potential ER visit for tomorrow since the only way I can function without pain is holding my arm up over my heart with a closed fist. Uh oh spaghetti-os.
12am: I have to sign for my tab with my left arm which def makes me look like I'm super drunk.
12:30am: I go to bed with a package of frozen peas and hope to God it's all better come morning.
And then....I wake up and can function better but there was still some pain so I go to brunch with my cousin and bring a bag of ice along. Then I watched 127 Hours with some friends and realized a weirdly hurting wrist is much better than having to cut off your arm because you got stuck in a boulder. I mean, it's pretty close to the same thing, but I think that guy wins.
Today I'm just about back to normal. Thank God!
Just $29.99?! You're right I CAN'T beat that price. Mostly because it's priceless. I know it's hard to read but they claim to have three types: Original Fit Relaxed (left), Original Fit Natural (center), and Original Fit Traditional (right). I've looked closely and the only real difference is how the model is half assedly posing.
