SWIM!

Day-light savings meant I got an extra hour’s of sleep after duty managing last night.

Last night I also got a huge rude awakening.  I didn’t expect it, but my dad came in for dinner with a nouveau-riche Asian posse.   It was weird having to watch my dad have dinner opposite another woman (i.e. not my mum).  In fact, it contributed to a pretty foul night, but I got through it without too many repercussions.  Locked up and sorted it all out – duty managing = ok!

In the afternoon today, I worked through 10 laps of the pool.  I know, it’s not *that* much.  But I’m a newbie swimmer, and my technique is pretty inefficient.  Something about not being particularly bouyant, nor having a decent left stroke.  There’s things that swimming lessons will teach you.

Admittedly, I found it much easier to swim this time with the help of goggles!  Hah, those wonderful suctiony implements.  They give your eyes a sunken demeanour but make you look that much the better swimmer.  Anyways, pretty slow atm.  But I’ll get there.  Swimming has less impact than running so far, which is why I can cope with it.  Will resume hitting the pavement though, once I can be 100% sure my shoulder won’t scream out from the forces involved.

Alright, I’ll stop making this journal impossible to load up!  Have a good weekend!
