So I had my first softball practice today. Not too terrible actually. Considering it has been roughly a decade since I played softball (no joke, last time was my freshman year of high school, in gym class) I did pretty damn well. I hit the ball a few times, I caught the ball most of the time, and I only spiked the ball into the ground while throwing it twice. Not so bad for my first time out. Before the aforementioned gym class softball, I played tee ball. When I was 5. I like to think that I’m naturally athletic though. My brother says that I’m better than the last girl who played for the team which I find very hard to believe. I got smacked really good with a ball (maybe called a line drive? That term seems to fit this ball…) and it instantly bruised. My bone hurt!
So after practice I went out for a short 20 minute run (approximately 2 miles) and forgot to put on my zensah sleeve. My hip starting hurting pretty quickly but I don’t think it was from lack of compression on my calf. It started acting up a couple of weeks ago. I don’t think it’s sidelining but I need to keep an eye on it. Racing on Sunday with my brother in-law should be super fun :-/
I got a thank you card in the mail from Mikes sister. It choked me up a little bit. I cross stitched a baby blanket for our new niece or nephew. It turned out really nice and luckily she liked it too! I knew she would but I spend a couple hundred hours on it and I was nervous! Only 2 and a half months to go until Mike gets to meet the little peanut. She’s not going to find out until the baby gets here, which I think is awesome. I would like to do it that way but I don’t know if I could be that patient. I’m really bad with that stuff!
Work is going wonderfully! I love the new branch. We have a good team and a great customer base. I know I will thrive there. Only problem is there doesn’t seem to be a good healthy place to eat around there. I had a greek salad from Tops and a quesadilla but that’s not gonna cut it for me. We’ll see what I can find once stuff calms down for me. I do only get a half hour lunch most days too, which isn’t enough time to GO get food. I guess that’s a good thing. There’s a gym nearby that I’m thinking of joining temporarily. The dues are only like 7 bucks a month and they have basic fitness equipment. Since my membership at my main gym is only 20 bucks a month right now, if I could do this little one for the wintertime and use the treadmills, it’s seriously less than a block away. We’ll see…
Time for a very late dinner and maybe some Dexter! Maggie will be here in 2 hours! Oh my!
