Maybe I really was a mermaid in a past life.
There is nothing in this world that makes me happier or more content than being in the water under a hot sun. The last two years when we set up the pool and I was able to spend time in it every day it was quite apparent the wonders it did to my mood and my depressions.

"You need to stay out of the sun," said Erin, "I don't like seeing you burned like this."

"Never going to happen," I told her. I HAVE to be out there. I could get skin cancer and I'd probably still go out there. The sun makes me happy. The water soothes me. Luckily I don't burn that easily, and even if I turn a little pink it turns tan the next day. And no skin cancer in my family, so I'll cross my fingers.

Or you can cross your own fingers, because I'm not getting out of the sun or the water.

Went on a bike ride with Erin on Sunday. We rode the Morgan Hill triathlon course again. It was our third time riding that course and it SUCKED. It was hot and windy, and when I got to the big hill I started way too fast. I had to jump off the bike and walk it up the hill -- for the first time!!! -- but my heart rate was 178 so I didn't really have a choice. It made me kind of grumpy that I had to walk the bike and that I was having a tougher time on the course as a whole, but I know the wind was making it harder, and I don't do well in the heat at all.

I like the sun, but I don't like working out in the sun!! Unless it's a swim. But there's no swimming allowed at Uvas Reservoir... except on triathlon days... why is that??

So. It was a nice morning. We sat by the water for a few minutes after the ride, and then drove to a roadside stand to get some tomatoes. YUM. Next time maybe we'll get some fruit on the way there, then we can sit by the water and eat right after the ride.

And then I came home to sit in my pool.

Spike might be moving out of his girlfriend's house and back home. I'm not sure if he's bringing the girlfriend or not. But they're completely broke and sounds like Spike has hit rock bottom. I'd feel bad but I think he needed this life lesson. Luckily he has home to fall back on, but if he moves back there there will be rules.

Rules like: No more lost utensils, mugs, plates or towels. No grown men sleeping until noon. No loud, noisy friends disturbing my newly quiet house. And CHORES GALORE.

He's going to love it.
