Ready..VENT! What keeps you from getting to the pool?

Ready..VENT! What keeps you from getting to the pool? Me first. I am so bummed. Traffic was all jammed up because of an accident and oil spill on the expressway. It took me 2 hours and 10 minutes to get home. That's a 10 mile drive. I could have run faster if they let me take a straight line on the highway. I sat and peeled and ate an orange without even creeping forward. And not one of those tangelos or zipper peel kinds. Thank goodness I had snacks. I certainly didn't think to visit the ladies room before I left work. Normally even in the worst of traffic it's less than an hour. I couldn't even get off the highway because all the exits were jammed because the city was blocked up because people couldn't get on the highway. And I thought traffic was going to be wasy because of school vacation week. I work full time and go to school part time. That ate up all my swimming time for the evening. I went to work and left work early to get in some good pool time tonight. Blech. Your turn...NEXT!

    Kristina, That sounds aweful. But at least it's good that there is an "easy" solution. I don't want to make light of your situation... But I have a suggestion... You could become a mighty fierce noodler! Unless being in the pool area and some occassional splashing aggrevates the condition as well, which it sounds like it might. Although, we are all aware that noodlers defend against any and all splashing in the pool. The group could form a huddle around you and provide an anit-splash barrier. But in all seriousness you could bring some dignity to water aerobics if you need some anti-gravity activity. Humor is GREATLY appreciated! :laugh2: :laugh2: I WISH - but EVEN noodling is out for a bit. I have to stay out of the environment totally. We'll see in time! Took an "Ultimate Conditioning" class today which was basically a step class - and based on my graceLESSness and lack of coordination, I'm afraid that noodling is above my skill level. But I've found something I need to work on - COORDINATION! I laugh b/c my husband is a huge klutz around the house - always stubbing his feet and toes and knocking things down. I think his klutziness is rubbing off on me. One thing is for sure - we'll NEVER have any rugrat ballarinas in our household! :joker:
