doctor please, some more of these
Last night was the second Thursday that I've gone to play pickup indoor soccer. It's been about 4 years since I even touched a ball and probably 6 since I played indoor (and the first time ever that I've pulled my hair back into a ponytail to play - did I mention I need to go out and purchase a hairbrush? Where does one do that?). I completely expected to be sore afterward, so not walking normally until last Sunday wasn't a surprise. However, the niggling pains in both quads that turned into fiery lead knives the first time I tried to run full speed last night really shocked me. I'm dutifully icing today and hoping they'll heal themselves before too long. It would be a shame to miss next week when they're only playing another 3 or 4 times before the summer outdoor season (which I'm too late to sign up for) starts.
When I told my boss I was going to go, he asked me what I thought about the potential makeup of the women who played and I guessed that 5/12 would be lesbians (including me and the friend that I went with). (Of course, we had to get past the requisite back and forth of 'how will you know?' / 'trust me, I'll know' / 'but how will you know' / 'if I play soccer with these women for an hour and talk to them the tiniest bit, I'll know') True count? Two out of 17, for pete's sake! That includes the 4 or 5 who definitely had a vibe but that all had at least 3 kids and big diamonds on their fingers. I'm not sure what kind of crazy world I walked into.
