limping around.

my sore ankle hasn’t stopped me from running around town. today i:

- got laughed at while carrying a large package of charmin toilet paper throught the parking lot to my car - bought new shorts from AE, new polos from express ($10!) - wandered through big 5 - found a dollar in the parking lot in front of chick’s sporting goods store - bought new prince tennis shoes from chicks (flashback to high school when i wore them until they had holes in the soles) - picked up nice pink adidas socks to go with them - called the doc to set up my preceptorship…. twice - dropped of film to be developed at the local 55 minute photo - got it back 30 minutes later - picked up dinner and tea at the crepe shack.

R.I.C.E. it!

since i didn’t feel like doing laundry this morning, i drove out to a nearby tennis club and hit some balls with a 12 year old that is almost my height. she laughed when i told her my age. i’m ooooooooooooold. in the middle of a “mini game”, i lunged for a ball and severely inverted my ankle. ouch. it’s sprained, i think, and now it’s sitting on ice. rest, ice, compression, elevation, you know. except, i’m anxious to get back out on the court again, and i have to keep telling myself NO. perhaps i’ll get up for some early morning work on the ball machine instead. maybe that way i’ll avoid embarassing myself in front of all the kids.

good news, is that i can still serve. it’s amazing… since the last few times i’ve tried i just end up hurting myself.

i just might have a tan this summer.
