Off the deep end...

Sooooo, I am exhausted! What else is new?? I need to look into some vitamins or something because I have been dragging all month! Today is the 24th, so that's over 3 weeks where I spend more time yawning than blinking! *YYYYYAAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNN*

So, guess what I did yesterday?? Here's a hint - I jumped in the deep end at my swim class!! Yeah, I know that was way more than a hint but I couldn't help myself!!! :-D This was only our 3rd class, but I did it. I know I didn't cure cancer or anything, but I have a SERIOUS water phobia!! Like, it's not funny! Our instructor, Bill, took my hand and jumped in with me. He is soooo patient - jumping in water with a grown woman!!! LOL Check that visual!!! LMBO I really have to laugh at myself. Anyway, after the first jump, I took off the training wheels and jumped in by myself!! WOOO HOOOO!!! I know - I'm awesome! :-P

I'm still trying to get comfortable floating on my back, but I'm confident I'll get there. I've spent 28+ years scared of water - that won't change overnight, but I'm proud of the little progress that I've made. We'll see what happens next week.

In other GREAT news - SHANA GETS TO GO HOME TOMORROW!!! YAHOOOOOOO!! She had 2 drains in her abdomenal region for the excess fluids and such... well, she had those taken out today. I KNOW that had to hurt - but she's so strong...I'm sure she only cried a little bit! Ok, well she told me she cried a lot, but I didn't want that on her permanent record.. lol It appears all is going well and I'm just happy that she's getting out of there. I've always been told people recuperate better in their own surroundings. Shana and I were roommates for over 5 years in college and before I got married and I am going to be staying with her for a while to help her get back on my feet. Hmmmm, won't this be interesting! I think it'll be fun (kinda) - but I don't think she has cable! UGHHH! She was supposed to get it before the surgery, but I don't think she did. Glad we both have Netflix!

So, Shana got her drains taken out and she gets to go home tomorrow after having major surgery. I jumped in some deep water completely surrounded by lifeguards and was never really in any imminent danger. I'll say it again - a little perspective.. Even still, 3 baby cheers for me working on my fears (which is really a blog all in and of itself..)
