I'm way too up to back down

2-0 in Social on Tuesday. Played a pretty good first game -- cannot remember too many details but I don't recall an abundance of turns and threw a sick forehand huck to some girl. I played most of my points in bunches and the game was pretty uninteresting. We established an early lead (6-1 at half, ish) and coasted to an 11-6 (ish) victory.

2nd game was pretty mixed for me. I took some harder assignments on defense and tried to pull the layout trigger whenever I could. I had two lay-out D attempts and another attempting to clean up some garbage on a huck. I didn't get one but I saw my man get looked off significantly more after I showed the willingness to leave my feet. I took a bit too much instant-jack-formula and threw to a lot of out-cuts that were mostly incomplete, but I did throw a nice 50 (ish) yard backhand huck to Sonny.

I was definitely going to play tomorrow, but I sprained to strained or pinched a nerve or something with my left shoulder (hurts whenever I rotate my wrist and whenever I pull it back), plus I'm dinged up everywhere else (rolled left ankle, cleated left shin, left wrist) so I am taking league off tomorrow unfortunately. I plan to go in a show of support, but we'll see what happens.

I must be laying out wrong because the left side of my body is really beat up and the right side of me is in pretty good shape. Perhaps I am just getting a poor luck of the draw and just getting layouts to that side but I think that is unlikely. I might just be too big to be hitting the ground this much but if that's all it is I'll just take a day off every two weeks to get over it.

Starting Monday I'm not drinking soda anymore because I had a mediocre exercise week and I didn't lose any weight, so if I'm not going to do work I shouldn't be allowed any exceptions.

My backhand is really close to leveling up. I can almost get that magic 45 yarder off with a mark so we'll see what goes down in the coming weeks.

Excruciator, bed.
