Buoyancy! I can has!

I made it into the pool! It was amazing! Everyone was really, really nice! I'm a little bit high on endorphins right now!

After twenty years, I had forgotten how nice it was to be in water - all floaty and relaxing and light. A really nice feeling. The class itself was fun and interesting, but long; I thought it was a forty minute class, but it went for an hour. It started easy, and got harder, and there were a lot of exercises that used resistance and buoyancy in clever ways. I thought about Iron Man a lot, and wished I had thruster boots on to weigh my feet down, because my body seemed to want to go end over end in the water. People talked about what TV they're watching, which was tricky, since I download everything and have no idea what's aired in Australia or not, but nobody asked me, so that was fine. And class was briefly interrupted by a koala who strolled across the lawn in front of the pool. Stupid koala.

Thank you everyone for your encouragement. I'm so pleased I went, and I'm going to go back next week. Presuming I can move at all tomorrow.
