I don't know if pools are capable of loneliness but if they are this one must be suffering a very severe case. It hasn't seen a body in about 4 weeks! It is sad really, considering it hasn't gotten below 95 degrees over the past month or so and the pool is the perfect solution to heat exhaustion ( well, probably not. That probably involves something more medical than that.) I love my pool. Why is it that we never have time to get in it? It's true, the kids have started back to school...but only in the last week. I think Kenny probably swam 5 times this season. Myself, maybe 10 times. It just isn't right. I said once the kids got back to school, things would slow down and I would go swimming every day and just live the life.. um,unfortunately, no. I know my swim season will be coming to an end in a few months ( although we have swam on Halloween ) and I am determined to find time to catch a few rays and swim a few laps...or just lay like a limp rag doll on float. Starting next week, I will make a point to visit my pool at least twice to ease it's pain. It's the least I can do.
