Day 183 - GV

Well T and I made it up to GV in one piece even though I did get kind of sleepy about half way up.  The movement of the car always makes me sleepy and if I don't have someone talking with me I just kind of get caught up in the movement. 

So part of this trip was to start swimming, so I decided that I would swim the first day even though I usually am to tired to do anything after the drive, but I was determined to swim so after I brought all my stuff in I went out to the pool to do what I had promised myself I was going to do.  So the first little hiccup was I had no chlorine.  I am pretty compulsive about clean pools as it was a pool in India that gave me a staff infection. 

At the time I didn't have a clue how dangerous staff infections could be, and I can just imagine how my mom and dad were reacting when the infection went into the other leg and my arm.  I do remember that I was totally grossed out by it though.

Oh I digress again.  So I couldn't find chlorine, but I did find shock treament, so I used that instead.  I couldn't bring myself to retest because if I did I probably wouldn't have gone in.

So I started to swim and T sat down on the deck beside the pool and during the whole swim she was on high alert, which totally freaked me out.  She would be sitting there watching and then she would go stiff, I had this vision of some mass murderer hanging out in our woods just waiting...

I am writing this so obviously no mass murderer probably just a little mountain lion no biggy...

  1. T3 - "staff infection" is what I get when my employees are screwing up & not doing their jobs. STAFF infection is also what the Egyptians got from Moses when he brought the wrath of G*D on them.

    Staph infections are very dangerous & if they're named Jerrold Staph (a football player I used to play with), they're EXTREMELY dangerous.

    The chlorine in the hot tub instead of bromine is the part that makes me crazy. I suspect some of the "green" is the chlorine since the hot tub only should have needed a few caps full of bromine.

    I miss you & have been phoning for the last 15 minutes (it's 9:21pm in SF on 4/11/11) & no answer. I know we have mountain lions there & I'm hoping you've just crashed & are sleeping.

    Call me if you read this.

    TSH & Mop signing off!

    WE MISS YOU!
