My work life has been consumed by water and pools and swimming and drowning and bathers and regulations and you name it. All I think about is water. Even right now when I’m trying to think of something to talk about other than swimming, like maybe visiting my podiatrist local to Cheltenham who I have been avoiding since I started getting pain in my feet. I just can’t bring myself to do or think about anything that isn’t related to water.
This probably sounds crazy for your regular joe-blow. Not many people know what it feels like to be completely fixated on something. It’s quite a bizarre feeling. My world now revolves around water. It’s annoying and I wish it wasn’t the case, but it is.
I’m going to take this opportunity to publicly announce that I will make an active choice to stop obsessing over the water so much. I’m going to try and stop thinking about it incessantly. I’m going to try and stop dreaming about it AND I’m going to go and get my painful Achilles tendinitis checked out. Take this public announcement as my online signature. I am determined to make this happen.
Okay, I have a confession. It’s not as easy as I thought it would be to just publicly announce something and have it become a reality. I did book an appointment with my local foot specialist and I am going to get my Achilles tendonitis fixed, but I still think about water constantly. It consumes me. I feel like I’m drowning in it. I didn’t even want to make that water-related pun, but that’s just how deep I’m in this water obsession.
I hope that next time I update you guys, I’ve made more progress. I was definitely too ambitious last time, but maybe once I’ve visited the podiatrist and spent some time thinking about other things, I will be less consumed by water.
