Ok so I miss the NY Aqua fit spring Fling b/c of stomach virus at the weekend.
I sneeze and threw out my back yeserday morning and now am staring NEM or more accurately NO-NEM in the face. I'm gonna be a bad tempered breaststroker if I can't make it to NEM.
Whine, whine, whine, whine,
I agreed to sore knees, sore shoulder, manky ear, brittle hair, cold water induced atrophy, blocked bugle, stinking like clorox, and looking comical doing fly.
Why I gotta have lower back issues too? :'(
Well, here's one for my books. Yesterday (Sunday) I was washing all of my windows and the glass sliding doors between our two smaller bedrooms. After all the years of rain and no new deck boards, I didn't notice they were "giving" way. I stepped into a weak one and fell through the deck boards, bounced off the yard fence onto gravel 15 feet below and didn't break anything. However, I am heavily bruised and have lots of wood scrapes, but after a few hours, I went and swam a 3 mile swim. It was fabulous: until today. I woke up feeling like I had been in a car accident and am bruised that dark purple/yellow color all over my legs and back. Not only didn't swim today, but walking was painful. The good news: I am not injured, just REALLY banged up so I will go swim tomorrow.
Just had to rant and gripe because had I looked more carefully, I wouldn't have stepped on those boards. My husband said: Gee, I didn't think those boards were that bad! So, until those boards are replaced, we will have dirty glass sliding doors.

Wow Donna! I'm sorry you fell! You're lucky you didn't break some bones! Take extra vitamin C for your bruises!
I may be stealing Fortress' avatar soon.
Sponge Bob? ...on a bad day? It looks kind of scary. :eek:
Despite the health warnings on chlorine...every running nose I ever experienced met it's demise after a visit to the pool.
Rich- did you get a finger hooked on the scratched nose during your breastroke recovery?
Not quite hooked in it but the thumb sliced across the tip of it lol
I don't know if that's good or not...I guess it means I was getting my head down going into the recovery...
I may be stealing Fortress' avatar soon. Hubby has been sick for a week now and I have tried to keep a "germ free" zone around me, but since he refused to sleep on the couch (ok, I didn't ask, but he should of thought of it for me!), I know have his icky, sicky cold!!! Nose is red, sore, and will not stop running.
Four days to zones and I am not a happy swimmer. (sniff, sniff, wipe, OUCH!):( :shakeshead:
It's no use trying to be germ free. Never works. Husbands and children are no good for swimming. They poison you. I guess we will have red noses together. I have a nice hacking cough too and am gasping for air. I think I may have to forego meets in April and May ... Blech. Rest up. Take drugs. Eat twizzlers. Curse. That's about all we can do.

Thought I'd complain some more. Today was doing my 4 miles and thinking about taking it to 5 for the heck of it, and voila, the SEA LICE are here!!! EECK. I was swimming along and all of a sudden thousands and thousands of brown looking splinter things were everywhere. Normally, I get stung really bad and am out of the H2O for about a week, but I had remembered to put on that Safe Sea lotion, specifically for sea lice and jellies and I only have about 10 stings on me. Miracle product. But I didn't put much on my face and my lip is all puffed up, oh well. Manana will swim across the bay instead of out into the ocean to avoid them.:D

I've heard an old wive's tale that Monkey La La get rid of the sting effects...
