How did I get that??

I played in a futsal tourney on Sunday. Got kicked in the shins twice in one game, about a minute apart. I got bruises from that (despite the shin guards) but it wasn't too obvious to the naked eye.

On Wednesday night, I played basketball for the first time in more than 3 years. It may have been 4 years, in fact, since I played any sort of basketball game. I was surprised that I didn't completely make a full of myself in front of my (male) colleagues, even managing to score a couple of 3 pointers.

Yesterday (Thursday) morning, I noticed a bruise on the outer part of my lower leg, just under the right knee. It was very faint, and I have no idea whether it came from the day of futsal or the game of basketball, but last night, dad pointed it out (and pressed it!! OUCH!!) and it looked like this:


Ok, I'm going to need someone to explain to me how it got from barely-there to "look at me!". Seriously. Not funny.
