The Swimmer

Let's see...I had a decision to make.

1. Go downstairs, and paint for hours. OR...

2. Go swimming in my sisters pond with Merrick.

You can see which option I chose.

It was hot here today. At one point my thermometer said it was 92F (31C.)

The pond was refreshing. After swimming, we laid down in the water, and built "sand" castles.

It's now 7 p.m., and I'm headed to the basement to get the paint and roller...and then to my den. To work.

I have to show some constraint...
'cuz I don't like to make a complaint.
But...a lover of work I ain't...
especially when it's time to paint.
