sunday april 20

today i strained, or maybe pulled, a muscle in my back while playing basketball with myself. the injury occurred while i was aggressively pursuing a loose ball (to reiterate: against no one) and resulted in my having trouble breathing and turning from side to side for the rest of the day. still, i felt good that it happened as a result of physical activity and not from something more embarrassing and more expected, like violently shifting positions on the couch.
