Had a rough game tonight. (volleyball that is.) Not only did I suck, but midway through the third game I took a speeding spike right in the nose. I had about a half a second to react, which was mostly thinking "uh oh, I can't get out of the way in time". No, actually I did manage to start my fall backwards to ease the impact. I was already low to the ground so it wasn't far to go. But my nose did take the brunt of it. I opened my eyes and everyone was circled around me, including the butt head that hit the ball. Actually, he's a very nice guy. My eyes were watering a bit, but I was more shocked than my nose actually hurt. A minute later I was up and playing again. They made me fill out an accident report. Overkill if you ask me, but they have to cover themselves in case I start seeing stars. On the accident report, there's a sketch drawing of a person's body and you're supposed to indicate where the injury occurred. The ref was kind enough to put a big "X" on the nose for me. "Cause of injury?" "Ball to nose."

On my way home I needed to get dinner. Feeling a bit sorry for myself, I settled on chocolate doughnuts and milk, which I ate in a hot bath while reading a new magazine. Ahhh I feel much better now.
