summer heat, boating tired, and small things

[tielan]

Went boating yesterday with friends. 33C-ish? Bright sun. Blue water. Good days.

I tried my hand at waterskiing again - at 430pm in the afternoon. A bit late for it, I think. After two tries, the skis came off, and I gave up. Earlier in the day, I'd have kept going because I was very nearly up on my feet! But by that stage, I didn't have the energy. Next time, gadget!

I may be a little sunburned, but it's mostly a 'glow' that will fade to a tan within a day or two. Then again, the temps are still pretty warm - today is supposed to be 30C, while tomorrow and Tuesday drop to the low-20s. Back up to 30s again later in the week, and then we settle into late 20s for (hopefully) the rest of the month. That'll make it nice and warm, but not enervatingly hot.

Anyway, I came home around 6pm, showered and washed my hair, played a little CivII, and lay down...

I vaguely remember the sisters on a call with Dad, and possibly removing the cats? I'm not entirely sure about that part. But I did pretty much fall asleep and dream, and then woke up properly around 6am this morning.

My body ached. Oof, waterskiing is hard, a lot of bracing needed. I felt it lightly in my shoulders and my core, that's for sure!

Anyway, I had to be up for some weekend work at 7:30 - about an hour's worth of stuff, standard things, nothing dire - and did some cooking, and a bit more CivII this morning.

Now that it's nearly 2pm, I might lay down for a nap. Again.

Sounds like a lovely day. I always enjoy being out on the water in a boat.

I never did get the hang of waterskiing. I came close a couple of times to getting on my feet but that was it. I would have liked to try tubing as that looked like more fun.

I wish they'd had a wakeboard, which is apparently easier than waterskiing. Mind you, that was thirty years ago, and my body, she is not up to it anymore.

Fun. What sort of gadget?

Oh, it's a saying from the old cartoon Inspector Gadget where at the end of every episode, the cartoon 'big boss villain' says something to the effect of "Next time, Gadget! I'll get you next time!"

I'm envious of your summer. It's SO cold here, and that's not normal for Florida. It really sucks.
