So, no kids at the swimming pool Sat. night. I picked up a friend of mine and dragged her there with me in case I needed a witness to my murder. We went right at 10pm when the pool is closed and got in at the last second. We quietly did laps for about 45 min. when all of a sudden some girl hops the fence and lets her big black dog into the pool area. The dog went straight into the hot tub and then ran around the pool like a maniac and eventually came in and started swimming all around. The girl then saw us in there (it was kind of dark) and apologized. I said it was okay and that we werent even supposed to be in there, so why not let her dog swim?
My friend fell in love with the pooch and they played and swam around together for 30 min. The dog was a hyper nut and soooo cute that I couldve died. I just chatted with the girl, and then also her boyfriend when he came in later. When the dog was tired, they left.
I did laps for about 20 more min., then the hot tub for 15 min. I guess no neighbors cared that we were in there. The only thing is that when I do late night swimming I have to get in the door before 10pm. It auto-locks at 10pm. It was a great and relaxing time.
I feel so much better about going swimming again.
It surprises me every time how relaxing it is for me to swim, even though Im actually exercising. Im happy that I got right back in there before the fear took over about the crappy people I might run into. I think the trick is to just go late, or possibly very early in the mornings (on weekends). Ill have to try that sometime too.
My friend and I met another huge dog at 2am on the way to the parking area. A somewhat cute, very drunk guy was walking his dog (that he rescued from the Humane Society awwww!) We chatted for a few min. and made friends with the doggy.
I finally dropped off my friend and got back home around 2:30am. Long night of swimming and visiting. It was nice, actually. I dread going back to work tomorrow. Its the last day that I have to work my dept. by myself. Co-wker comes back from vacation on Tuesday. Yay!
In addition to working out and being social, I actually did things around the house this weekend. What is this weird feeling of being productive? Very odd. Maybe the endorphins are starting to kick in from being active again. I can only hope. I think I give this weekend a B.
Goodnight all. Sleep well.

Hopefully work isn't treating you bad today. Luckily no seems to be bothering me tiday. That's lucky because there is a bunch of stuff I need to take care of after lunch.
I would love a month off as well.
I am going to be up that way on the weekend of the 27th. Lunch?
Religion is such a strange beast. It gives so many people so much comfort and fucks so many of them up at the same time. Just like drugs.
hugs and later,

and thanks for laughing at my dumb ass fandango incident. I'd blame it on the 420 also if I was'nt retarted without it anyways. haha.
