When Mom pulled up outside work at 1:51 for my 2 o'clock to take me to a appointment, I asked where she had been. To save her the shame, I'll just say she used an adjective to describe the basement garage that I use on occasion.
It turned out that she did not really wish that God would smite the basement; I don't think she wasn't even upset at the snafu on where to pick me up (I blame the weather: Dad had said outside unless it was raining, which it was when Mom left to get me but not when I left the building). She told me after we were on our way to aqua therapy that she can't help it, she worries about me when I am changing clothes in a bathroom (I did not think my bathing suit was appropriate work attire, so I put it on in the bathroom at work).
My question then: Why doesn't Mom have a mouth like a sailor or mule driver if she curses when she is worried about me?
The aqua therapy would have been anti-climactic after that, except I walked.
I was in the water, but still it was pretty cool. I stood in 4 feet of water for about 40 minutes. I walked around the edge of the pool (or part of it), marched in place, stood on tiptoes and other stuff. It was pretty tiring but cool.
I am thinking Aquaman is not so stupid after all.
I am waiting for the pain to kick in, but am OK so far. Now, I just need to figure out how to build a pool in my condo.
Ah, I remember the days when "ding dang do" was as bad as it got.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you and Dada when we were watching The Man from Snowy River over Christmas (remember that movie? what a great movie). In it a character says "A man without a horse is a man without legs." But here you are walking in water. You almost made me cry.

I haven't seen Snowy River in ages, if ever. Emily was the one who rented it almost as much as Savannah Smiles.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be walking on my horse. It is a little more dignified. The walking underwater is kind of a mix of John Cleese's silly walk, a crab scuttling from side to side and someone dragging their body along the water with their arms.
