Water Therapy

You know how some people say 'in a past life I probably was a....blank...because..'? Well I know for sure, with out a doubt that I was most definitely a fish. If I feel sick, or have a cold, or have a headache and I go take the hottest hot shower I feel (at least for those 10minutes) relief. If I am stressed out or just under the weather a bath or hot shower seems to be my cure.
I love nothing more than jumping into the deep end of a pool and rolling around underwater. That feeling of floating underwater and being surrounded completely by water is so refreshing. It's a sort of 'coming home' to me the moment I hit the water.
I was a competitive swimmer my entire life until I reached the age of 16 and I no longer had a team to compete with. Also I wanted to start working (DUMB idea!). I loved every second of being a swimmer, it was the best exercise ever, and I had no idea how good it was for me. I loved the smell of the chlorine and pushing my self each practice. I formed some of the strongest friendships through swimming. Swimmers have a unique bond with one another, they most often are up at the crack of dawn and can get in a ridiculous workout in around 20minutes. I would compare it to cross-country running. You are swimming together for hours, you are moving water together. You form get bonds.

Today I have a brutal headache and Henry's crying is not helping what-so-ever. I've taken a shower and still feel awful, on the verge of puking which is just lovely. I need to lay down and nap this thing off but that's impossible since I haven't been home in 4 days. Constantly running around trying to get errands done, which by the way STILL haven't gotten completed- UGH. But anywho I am contemplating going and trying to take another shower and warming up. Worst part is having long hair and drying it again. boo.

The job decision is over and that is good news, I am nervous about starting and about how much sleep I will get but overall excited for the opportunity. It will be nice to get out of the house, get dressed with a purpose and spend some time away from the baby. It will be good too for Henry, he will get to socialize with other babies and Im really excited to see him make 'friends' :D
Im also VERY excited about the weather warming up- if EVER. I mean seriously snow in April, thats some bullshit peter rabbit who DIDNT see his shadow. Ok i know he isn't a rabbit, he is a ground hog but shit the easter bunny is coming to town and i dont think he likes hopping around in snow.....boo again.

Well Im off to go and try to cure this headache of mine. or take a nap. or shower away my sickness. or to ramble some more about nothing. ha.

Ciaoooo
