Gifted, graceful, amazing, all rolled into one
So this morning, I woke up and my shoulder hurt. I actually chuckled because I knew the reason why, of course.We had softball practice with my co-ed team last night. Nothing major, just hitting, shagging flies and fielding grounders. Anyways, someone hit a fly ball out to me. It was a shallow fly so I tore off in, towards the ball. I was running full speed but it looked like the ball was just going to be a bit short so I tried reaching for it.
Somehow, I got my balance all screwed up. I went down with the intention of sliding on the grass like they do in the majors, all graceful like. There wasn't anything graceful about what I did. I don't know how I did it, but instead of going forward, I went pretty well straight down and straight down hard. It was almost a faceplant. In fact, it was a faceplant. A faceplant of epic proportions because I bounced. Literally bounced. Then I saw stars.
I don't know when I hit my shoulder. I think it was before the bounce because I had a grass stain on my shirt. I tore open a scab on my knee because I had blood running all the way down my leg to my sock in a fairly steady trickle. It didn't exactly tickle.
I swear, sometimes I am the most graceful amazing person that walks, or rather crashes into things on this planet
