Still freaking people out with double-jointed arms

The first time I got this, I was something like 6.45am, which is an hour I loathe being awake at, despite this being a relatively frequent occurance, so I tried again. Have got this twice now.

Work is going well. I'm the only LA there today and tomorrow and I seem to be coping well enough. I've even caught up on some electronic filing - there's not nearly as much of a backlog for PJS now.

Am going to get my eyes checked in a couple of weeks as I think the long-sightedness is getting worse; it certainly is taking me longer to refocus my eyes when I suddenly change what distance I'm looking at something.

On Tuesday, I played for One Crew Over the Cuckoo's Nest instead of Dirty Creature, because the Crew were shorter on people than we were (and because the only non-creature t-shirt I had was the one I wore to the gym that morning and I wasn't prepared to let anyone else wear it). It's the first time I've played a league game for a non-Creature team and it felt very strange not to be in a bright colour. That being said, I played all but the first two points and I played relatively well. I was pleased with how I did and while I was tired at the end, I wasn't completely exhausted and could have probably played another couple of points before saying that it was my turn to have a point off.

I would like whoever came up with the bright idea of having a five minutes whistle to be taken out and shot. I had no idea that such a thing had been introduced, was rather thrown by it and as direct result think it's a stupid idea and should be discontinued. I thought it was the end of the game. It felt like the end of the game - and if they're going to use something like that they should at least start on time!

Playing against the Creatures, I once more noticed that things went a lot better when there were short passes and the disc was worked up and down the field. People seem to be cutting pretty well and disc handling skills (except in the end zone for some reason) are good. It's just the long passes don't seem to work very well most of the time and work brilliantly the rest of the time. I suppose that's a matter of learning how to judge the game and the players. Although as house_monkey pointed out later, a long pass for some people is a short pass for others and so on.

I do seem to have messed up my ankle a bit; the one I sprained last year. I think it's a combination of the high heels I wore to the wedding and the long game on Tuesday. I know I twinged it on Tuesday at least once and at the wedding, I kept getting the right heel stuck in a crack at the edge of the floor which would then wrench my ankle. I'm going to be in sneakers when I can be for a while, I think; leave the gym until Monday (not that I went today anyway); and take it easy at practice on Saturday. Walking in sneakers seems to be okay, but I'll be wearing the flattest shoes I own to work tomorrow. My shoe heels have been getting progressively lower all week.
