all my friends are superheroes (except you)

genuinely good

well, today i had a double header, which i played on 4 hours of sleep. big mistake. so yea, my body was up for it, and i was able to run and exert myself fully without throwing up (...unlike the last time i engaged in physical activity while on a deficit of sleep). so that was good. but yea...my mind was wandering through both games. i was so lost the whole time. i messed up numerous times, both while fielding and while batting. i even slipped on the gravel on my way from the DUGOUT to the PLATE...that was so embarrasing. and the ump (i think it was anthony at the time) said something like "i know you're eager to play and all, but calm yourself"...yea that made me feel super stupid. o and another stupid moment...haha, on TWO seperate occasions, i found myself stuck at second base...accompanied by someone else (how embarrasing) so yea. the first time, i was there with someone else, i ran, but to no avail. the second time, we saw each other, and i darted to third and he jetted off to first where he came from and we were both safe. that was hilarious. there were numourous more slip ups and mishaps...but lets not get into those. on the bright side tho, during our practice times, i managed to catch the ball a few times between the legs WITHOUT any close calls...unlike the last time...yea that was definately too close for comfort. long story short, josh hit a hard and fast grounder...i put the glove behind me and between my legs. at the last second, the ball hit something and bounced up...and well...you can guess what happened...upper inner thigh...

but softball aside, today was genuinely good. i haven't had a day like this in quite a while, and my recent posts show it. so yea, things went well today. better than i could have imagined. and for that, i am grateful.

i need more of these days.
its nice to patch things up, to fix the broken, and to mend open wounds.

i can rest easy tonight.

goodnight everyone. i'm off.
