Still a bit of fire inside me...

I had planned to text Victoria to ask if she wanted some antibiotics I got from my doctor, but I was pretty sure she'd say no, so at lunch I decided to go to her work and give it to her if I saw her. I had imagined her working at the front counter of the registry, but when I got there, it seemed like only a few counters were in place, and she was nowhere in sight.

So at 14:06, I texted her "hey Charmander, are you at work today?"

She replied 11 minutes later "Hi [insert name here], Charmander is not working today. What's up?"

That actually made me chuckle. So cute. At 14:32, I said "Haha. I had to see the doctor yesterday and he gave me some antibiotics, just wanted to see if you needed them?"

It then went silent for a long time. As I was changing in my office at the end of the day, I started to feel that feeling of insecurity creep all over me. Then, my phone vibrated. She replied at 17:16 "I also went to see the doctor and now have some antibiotics. Thank you for kindly asking. :)"

I wonder if she thinks I would get pissed and ignore her if she didn't thank me for these offers, like how she thanked me for inviting her to my birthday. Hmmm. Makes me feel like a dick now.

At 17:42, I replied "Well I hope you're feeling better. If you need any other drugs, I am happy to supply :)"

That was sent while I was on the train on the way to basketball. We played The Matadors. I wasn't even planning to go, but I heard we were short on players. We cruised through the first half, running fast breaks, having perfect ball movement, and basically slicing their defence up with ease. We took a 23-10 lead at halftime.

Then in the second half, we took it too easy. They hit multiple threes and before we knew it, we had not only lost the lead, but they were leading by quite a lot. One time I had the ball just inside the three point line, and the defender goes "he won't shoot it, he'll miss" and backed off me. So I shot it and swished. I felt like giving him the finger as I jogged back on defense.

Then Mark decided his back didn't hurt after all and came in, and then Derek arrived late, so Kelvin and I sat out. We crawled back slowly, and with four seconds to go, Jun ran up the court and jacked up a long two and was fouled. He hit both free throws to tie the game.

We were very lucky.
