So, a lot of things have happened since my last post. I guess I’ll start with the beginning and go from there! April 1st was a very good day (really, no April Fools!). That night was Stomp in Phoenix at ASU Gammage Theatre with a bunch of friends, but first my Dad and I went up early to look at a car (again, in Phoenix).
Well, a few hours after looking at it, I had purchased it and drove it off the lot! So, I’m the new owner of a 2002 Honda Accord Coupe. It’s just the 2.3L 4cyl engine, but that also means that it’s pretty fuel-efficient (good with the way the gas is going) and cheaper (guess that’s good so I can pay off debts and the car quicker). This did unfortunately mean that I couldn’t join my friends for dinner before the show, but that was ok because I had a new car!
Anyway, after that I went to the show and it was awesome! Lots of fun and I was really glad to go. Tried to take a few pictures but… they were all blurry in the end so I deleted them. *sighs* Oh well… Sunday I went to Rocks & Ropes (an indoor rock climbing gym) with some friends and then of course volleyball afterwords. Good end to that weekend.
So then that week (the week of the 3rd) was more training at work (actually in classes). Everything went well until Wednesday night (a week ago exactly!) when I went to play raquetball with a friend at Gold’s Gym. I hadn’t played for a LONG time (years) and hadn’t been to Gold’s for a while either (months). And I don’t think I’ll forget the experience for a while 
What happened you ask? Well, really, nothing all that much. I just got hit in the face with a raquetball racket while playing with two friends. Of course, it bled pretty well and cut me pretty deep (I did get hit pretty hard) and so I went to the hospital (my right eye, where I got hit, was a bit blurry which was not making me too happy…). I did drive myself and went to my place beforehand to get some contacts and glasses JUST in case they (the people at the hospital) wanted me to change them.
Got there around 9:30 PM or 10:00 PM and by that time, my eye was not so blurry and the cut had stopped hurting a LONG time before that (about 10-20 minutes after I got hit really…), but I still decided I needed stitches. Well, after getting in and waiting for HOURS, I finally talked to the Doctor who wanted to give me a CT Scan (lovely…) and then stitch me up. Long story short, I was there for a total of 7 hours or so (actually went home and then found that my cut was under my eyebrow which the doc didn’t see and didn’t stitch and so I went back) and didn’t get to bed until 6:00 AM or so.
They gave me a total of 10 stitches (nine the first time, one the second), plus of course some anti-biotics (well, got that at Walgreens on the way home) and pain medicine. I took the next day off (well, really that day which was Thursday) of work (after notifying them of course) and slept most of the day. So yeah, that was great fun. But I’ve had no pain from it all so I guess I can’t complain too much
Then on Saturday night I had a BBQ at my place and I guess about 25 people showed up. Quite a large number for the size of this place (two bedroom, two bath townhouse), but it was a lot of fun. A number of us then went to a local park for a night hike since the moon was fairly full and the weather was nice. Then on Sunday the 9th, I played Ultimate frisbee and just today I stopped being sore from that. But I had a LOT of fun. We had 20 some odd people in all (maybe closer to 30) so it was a good game for sure. Just tiring! Then again, volleyball of course
And now we’re here at today. Still doing training for work and all that. I’m due to get my stitches out tomorrow (could have gotten them out yesterday but… I couldn’t get a doctor’s appointment in time) and I’m actually thinking about playing raquetball tonight with the same guy who hit me last week… Guess I am crazy after all!!
