Video Game Injury?

I got up this morning pretty tired out, and Kuniko even commented that I looked terrible. Every morning lately has been full of nose blowing and loogie hocking, and so I’m sure I look pretty bad. But, I’m feeling a little better day to day, so I guess that’s what matters.

When I got to school I found out that the two teachers I had infected had both lost their voices. I only teach with one of them, so I had to do all the talking in her two classes today. Sorry!

In a somewhat embarrassing story, I think I pulled a muscle playing a video game. That’s right – my first Wii injury. My shoulder was a little sore yesterday, and again a little today. It’s from swinging away at Wii baseball – when you bat during the game you hold the remote like a baseball bat and swing for the fences. Maybe I’m getting a little carried away, but it’s just so much fun. I’m always sweating and panting after a video game session, so I figured nothing bad could happen. Maybe I should start doing some warmups and stretches before playing the game.

Tonight when I got home I went to work making the ramen that we got from Yasu. When Kuniko got home it was ready, and we ate it while Kuniko told me about her day. I guess one of her coworker’s brothers died of lung cancer, and he was only 34. Scary to think that someone so young could die like that.

Tomorrow is already Wednesday and the week is moving along at a pretty good rate. I’m looking forward to resting up on the weekend, and maybe enjoying some fresh air outside. Maybe a break from all these high-impact sports in the living room.
