Last night we had a Leaders Night Out date for all of the Young Life leaders and trainees. We ventured out to Arcardia, OK to a place called Pops. It has HUNDREDS of different old school bottled drinks, with all different labels and flavors and colors (some of my favorites: Banana, Lenonade, Birch Beer). I settled with a root beer, but not any old root beer. I got a fair trade certified Maine root beer with a really neat label that looks like a mix of a moose antler and the squiggles I like to doodle. I also got a triple grilled cheese with cheddar, american, and provolone. I don't think I need to describe the heaven I was in.

Once we sipped and sat for a while, we headed back towards Norman and stopped at Blazer's Ice Rink in South OKC. Here, I played broom ball for the first time. It was really fun, and really funny to watch people make fools of themselves falling all over the place. Until that person is you.

Here commences my embarrassing tale:
I wish I could say I fell going for the perfect shot that ended the game and won it for (the DOMINATING) trainee team. But, I am not that cool. I was just walking across the ice towards the other goal when my feet slipped from underneath me and I landed flat on my back. While it was probably really funny to watch, the second I realized I was back-to-the-ground I felt my body screaming at me. People helped me up, but I could not put any weight on my left leg. I started hobbling over to the edge of the rink and wanted to cry. I could not walk last night without intense pain in my left-lower-middle back area. All night I tried to pretend it didn't hurt so I didn't seem dramatic... but the second I got into my room I let the tears flow. Shoot! I thought last night I had bruised my tailbone, possibly even broken it, and took 3 Advil and went to sleep. Getting up on my bunk bed was no painless task. All night I could feel it hurting, but just tried to sleep it off.

This morning I woke up and could actually stand/kind of walk on it, so I am pretty sure it's not broken. But it still hurts like a ^#&%@! to walk on it. But I am thankful it isn't like last night.

Tonight I am supposed to go ice skating with my floor, but I am kind of nervous. Me and the ice aren't quite bff's right now.
