Alright everyone, it is Wednesday morning and I am once again in pain. Is this pain caused by a hangover? No! This pain directly results from an injury that occurred during my 2 and 1/2 hour soccer game last night. It was the semi-finals and I must say my team did an outstanding job. We all pulled together and really dominated both our games. First game we tied 1-1, went into 'sudden death' of about 5 min. score 0-0 which resulted in a shoot out. WE WON!
NOw we have to immediately play the next game which is the team that is in first place (note: our team is in 9th, and there are only 10 teams, yeah we rock, but we're fun at the bar) Unfortunately I got taken down in the first game so I am already hurting. I have a tumor on my right thigh the size of a grapefruit. It is so swollen that you can actually see the shape protruding out of my pants. If this isn't a yummy sight then I don't know what is. Anyway, we begin the second game and we are doing awesome, complete domination, our defense is working their asses off and we're getting a couple of shots up front. And then......I go head to head with a girl for the ball and she jacks me right in my leg (the same leg that only minutes before felt like it had been ripped from my body). I went down, and I went down hard streaming a line of curse words that would probably not make my mother very proud. And I am a stubborn person so i don't want anyone touching me or helping me in my moment of excruiating pain, instead I continue to say "fuck, fuck, fucking damnit" repeatidly as if its going out of style and I literally crawled/dragged myself off the field. I am not kidding when I say I was in serious pain. So we played a man down for a bit bc we don't have any girl subs. I had to tough it out, once again, and get back on the field. Score of the game 1-1, which means.....yes, we've been here before, 'sudden death'. This is where my team let go. I mean, come on now, we have just played a hell of not one, but two games and we are tired. We had no legs so we just contained them. Score0-0. Now we go into the shoot-out. And even with all of the prompting and possible boob showing we promised our keeper we unfortunately couldn't steal the win. They scored one more shot than us! Damn! So we lost in the end but played incredible in my mind. 5 of us are seriously injured and I think I might have to severe my leg later today.
On the brighter side, my head feels amazing and no lasting hangover is present. HOwever, there is another cubs game that I HAVE to attend tonight so I can't make any promises on my ability to function tomorrow. Thank god I got the morning off. This is me thinking ahead. Scary isn't it. Happy hump day everyone!
