Mother Ocean

I made a plan, and left for work early today. My pupose? To take a dip in the ocean. It occured to me that in the many years I have been here, I have not actually *swam* in the ocean. Just waded, wet my feet, dangled my toes. It was hard to say just why, except that I have mostly hid from the sun, due to my vampiric nature. But I love the ocean! And I have been learning to stand befor the great evil daystar. Of course I had a rolodex of reasons not to do it. I would be alone. It was befor work. It would be very sunny. I'm too pale, and my thighs would blind people, and send little children running away, screaming in horror. Sometimes though, you just have to get over your insecurites and push.

I have been doing really well with my walking. Better than I even guessed, since I was never sure if I would still be doing it in mid June. Still, I haven't progressed as far with my weightloss as I had hoped. Time to add more. Like swimming. I got my suit together, I pushed down my silly thoughts, and got Brian to drop me off early.

It was so worth it. It still would have been more fun with someone, but even alone it was good. I crashed into waves, and swam with them. I paddled around like a fat otter. It didn't take me long to get out of breath. I think I would have stayed longer if not for needing to dry off for work. I have to do this more often.
