Cold. It was so cold!!! One day I braved the waters on my own. The kids were absorbed in a flick and didn't even see me leave (Mr. Si said he would have come). Nenners was uncertain of my success... so was I. As I walked down to the dock, the leaves were falling around me. It's fall - unofficially, but still! Not here in Kingston, but there in Quebec - yes yes. As soon as they fall, I'll stick to that fact - even on this warm day, I'll hope for cooler days! I finally made it to the dock - even colder. I decided to take a seat and give myself a moment to take it in. The chair was freezing. That's when I really started to doubt myself, but stubbornness won out. I jumped it. Then I got out quick. Repeated that a dozen times to acclimate myself. In my 'get out of the water fast' move, I hit the same bit of my knee a dozen times. Such a funny scar. Then I jumped in so far that I accidently went under DEEP and did an unintentional backwards somersault. Came up screaming for air and struggling for warmth. My day, documented for proof.
Mr. Si and I braved another cold day together. We each jumped in 16/17 times (former: me; latter: him) to warm up. Tired out. Jumped in alternating alphabet letters - so much fun... 'cept poor Mr. Si got all the bad letters because I started it up. New tradition made though.
Also, in the past few days: new 'props' with Sunshine, a walk with Mister Giggles, new co-worker in Nieceamine (Congrats), and new obsessively awesome show - I'm now hooked on 'Phineas and Ferb'!
