Yeah for Me

Yesterday, I swam 1825 yards (1.67km) or a little over a mile in the YMCA pool. After my vacation to Chicago I caught a cold and lost some of my stamina. I took almost two weeks off from running, swimming, and weight lifting. The first time I jumped back into the pool, swimming 50 yards proved difficult. Luckily though, I was able to get my strength back fairly quickly.

Anyway, here's a little tale about my day today. I walked into the bathroom. Squish! Squish is a such a bad sign when you walk into the bathroom. I turned on the water and saw that the rug was I standing on was saturated with water. I knew where the source was coming. Earlier in the morning I had started a tub of laundry and the water from the washer had poured onto the floor. At first I thought the drain pipe had come out, but that wasn't the case. Instead, I think the drain line had some frozen water in it because later on when I poured water down the drain it didn't back up. At least I had a jump start on washing the bathroom floor.
