And you came through and were like
Basketball drills
We had to throw the ball to each other
We didn't have to dribble or shoot hoops but we just had to throw the ball back and forth to each other
And you explained that it would not be tolerated to be doing all kind of wacky s*** like letting it bounce or catching it way off to the side or things like that that indicated you were afraid of getting hit in the face with it
Because getting hit in the face with a basketball was no big deal and it didn't hurt that much it wasn't going to kill you like getting it in the face of the baseball and therefore just you know deal
and I was like I've been hitting the face the basketball and it hurts I think it broke my nose
No in fairness this really did happen when I was in ninth grade in PE they made us do these basketball trails where we had to stand in a particular place and we had to get the basketball through the basket and it was kind of humiliating because it was two teams and I couldn't do it and rather than you know after some reasonable amount of tries let the rest of my team have a chance to win I just had to keep trying and trying and trying until the whole relay was over and I was trying but I do not believe she had given us any instruction in how to shoot basketballs and I had never had the occasion to do it again and unlike many things where the first time I tried I'm reasonably proficient at it shooting basketballs was not one of those things
And probably in retrospect I should have been shooting it lightly you know the way you would go up over a note but I wasn't I was throwing it pretty hard and it hit the I don't remember now if it was the rim or the back thing on that particular throw because it did both of those things plenty of times but it came back down and it hit me just square on in my face and of course I was wearing glasses and I don't believe it would have done any real damage to me if it had just hit my face but it knocked my glasses sideways into the side of my nose really hard and I think it did break my nose a little it hurt a whole lot for a long time but you know my eyes weren't blacked out or anything so maybe not
Anyway
What strategy on the basketball team was to find somebody who was really good at throwing and get closer than I was supposed to be to them and we ended up doing a whole round of throws where we both caught it with no problem
And then we suddenly changed angle and distance and I missed
And there had been somebody come through who had been a coach of one of the other women and she had talked to me about something I can't remember now but it made a big impression on me in the dream
And there was one of the women who had taught everybody something about social media and so both of these women were gone for some reason and we were having some kind of a talk about the influence they had in our lives and I don't think they were dead or anything I think just moved on to something else
I suspect this was all brought on by a clip I saw at least two guys like playing ping pong with a ball with their heads
I just woke up got a headache very congested My eyes are itchy I just could not wake up before when my alarm went off
And I mean I reset it I had I usually set an alarm for 30 minutes before I want to get up and then I set an alarm for when I want to get up and I slept through or changed both of those and I snoozed through the last one until the point at which it didn't give me a snooze option anymore and then I turned it off
I hope you're doing okay
I love you very much sweetheart 💋
