Still swimming. It was cold tonight. Really cold.
Swam south from the road end. Had the whole place to myself save a bunch of crabs looking for dinner in the shallows. I pushed through the cold, and reminded myself that I could bear it. 14 years ago I gave birth at home to a near 9-pound baby. Yup. I can do a little pain. I still have it in me. And it’s all been worth it. Especially the mama part. And I plucked a broken moon snail from the bottom on my way back, strapped it to my float belt and felt so badass soaring home with my salty treasure.
