Today I took Emma swimming again, hung around reading through A Walk in the Woods, and then off to the library...on the way to which I did actually run into Mrs Robinson! I was amused to discover that Barney's Christmas Star was Video #666 at the library...it does make one wonder.
My father was supposed to pick me up from home to go to the uniform sale at four, but at four thirty my mother called and said that there had been some emergencies. The problem was that I wanted to go swimming at six, and I foresaw crowds.
"What time will he be home?"
"He hasn't actually left yet."
Noooo. I bitched a bit, but what can you say? It's not a life-threatening situation on my end. I then did what I always do in a crisis: read a book on the front porch, composing a mental blog.
Actually, crowds were few. We were out in half an hour. It was especially interesting how I said to my dad, "Ariel's sweater is the best!" and then turned around and saw Ariel.
I went swimming with Jenna and Dad for the whole hour, during which we rescued plastic ducks from the deep end, conversed extensively about winter sports, and swam some laps so we didn't feel totally useless. I still can't do a length. Not yet.
Open the bag and pull something at random. I will not be surprised.
