Not working too hard this week...

Spent the last couple of days not doing a whole lot of work. Catching up on laundry and errands and rest was about it. Yesterday, I stayed home to work...never got to the working part...I slept in, cooked breakfast and called bunches of people back home since it was MLK day. Then I had my last pool dive last night. It went well. My hovering is good, well, for a beginner anyway. Since my feet are extra floaty, this time I started out sitting so I was in a reclined-Lazy-boy-position rather than the full head stand. Then we had to do skin diving - scary...you get used to having air down there and then they take it away! Skin diving is just your suit, weights, mask, snorkel and fins. My first try was decent but didn't have quite enough air to clear water out of my snorkel when I came back up. Second try was way worse and third was inbetween the first two. But the fourth was awesome - I did it perfectly - probably a combination of getting comfortable with it and getting the technique down. So now it's just the 4 open water dives...hopefully the weather will be good this weekend and we can get to it! I'm looking forward to it but am a little anxious about it as well. After dive class last night, I headed over to Julie's to say chao since she was leaving early this morning. Had tea and ice cream with her and Rebecca and hung out for a bit. She will be missed...it will be quiet around here without her!
