Today was a productive softball practice. We did not start until 2, and it was way out in East Naples! (Well, SouthWest Broward). Things did not get off to a real good start when we got to the field though. Some guy was out there tossing the ball back and forth to his son, and he got all pissed off about us being there. He decided to come up to me, as I was the one furthest out into the field, and started mouthing off saying can't we see there's people out here... I said yes, and we are here now to practice, this is the field we just rented, and we would like to play now. Then he goes on saying no, you didn't say anything, you just walked out. Well, I'm saying it now. At this point, Chris gets right up into his face, and just takes over the little match. It took a few people holding them both back to prevent an incident from happening. That guy sure showed his son how tough he is!

Anyway, we played with another team as well, from a different league. It was all practice, but it is good to have more people to practice with, especially when the whole team does not make it out. I think I got my biggest workout from this practice than any of the others. That, and I had eaten lunch beforehand (yes, Sean, I told you I hadn't eaten all day, but hey - I forgot!), and it was just there the whole time. Don't play while full! (not that I was full, it was just a sandwich)

I have determined that I hit the ball a LOT easier without my glasses on. Although I can't see much without them, the glasses distort the angle of view ever so slightly, like a straw in a glass of water, making me constantly swing too low. So, without them, I can swing much more accurately at the blur. Once I am running, though, it's difficult to know where the ball is! But, I'll have contacts again soon, and that will help. But the glasses really make it hard. It dosen't bother me in everyday life, you get used to it, but it is there. When I first got them, I started tripping on steps and curbs, because I thought they were a little closer or farther. Switching between glasses and conacts makes for a short-term minor headache. It's no big deal though.

Well, I also stopped at the Depot, and got me some potting soil and plastic bases for my plants, so I should get to setting them up properly. I also should do something about my sore foot - one of the shoes kept digging into the side of one of my feet.. They actually had a larger size available when I got these, but I thought that may be a little too big. But the last few times, they were fine. Perhaps they were just not on right. Next time should be better...
