Abuse? Naw.
It is always awkward for me when people hear about my past and are fairly certain I was abused. I mean, I know what abuse is, right? It’s getting beat with a belt buckle or a curling iron or kicked or told you’re a worthless piece of shit every day of your life. Abuse is not… my childhood and teenage years. It’s even more remarkable when people tell me I’m surprisingly stable and well-adjusted given my past. I mean, doesn’t everyone’s parents’ have quirks that made childhood weird?

Cooler than sliced bread
Swimming is awesome. I was surprised, though, by how bad at it I am and how not comfortable I am in the water. I’m straight up doggie paddling my laps and I’m very uncomfortable with being submersed. That’s weird, because I’ve never in the past had much fear of water and I used to be a decent swimmer. That said, the swimsuit is nice and swimming was an amazingly subtle workout. It was only later, as my muscle relaxed and the fatigue set in, that I realized how good and full body a workout it had been. It was quite a difference from running, where I feel kinda beat up…

Oh, for the love of… a gas cap?
So that Check Engine light? Totally my damn gas cap not being fully tightened. I’m usually pretty careful about that shit, courtesy of watching too many Hollywood movies where cars blow up if anyone looks at the gas tank the wrong way. I was charged 30 bucks for that shit, too. Frown. While I was there, I went ahead got some other maintenance done (i.e. got some near-broke shit fixed): I got my drive and timing belts replaced. Based on a quote I’d had from about a year before, I thought I should be out $500, but it was only $300. Shit, my ass doesn’t even know what a drive…

Gurgle, gurgle
I bought a swimsuit today! I hope to relearn how to swim and to begin doing so regularly. It’d be nice to have an activity that doesn’t beat up my body quite so much. You know, I could never open my eyes under water without goggles on. It just burned too much. And I don’t like having stuff in my eye, even if it’s water.
