Back to the real world!

Yesterday I started back to work. After 3 weeks off, I went in feeling nice and refreshed and ready to tackle the day. By then end of the day, the feeling was starting to wind down, but I think its still there. I am tired though. I guess sitting on my butt for 3 weeks will do that. And I am sure by the end of the week, that refreshment will be gone, lol. Anyway, off to tackle another day... here I go!

Strange Fear

Ok so here's the deal. I have this strange phobia of large bodies of water at night. It's not hydrophobia. That's just a fear of water. I don't fear water, I just have a fear of lots of water only at night. It's so odd. And I dont really think its the water itself so much. I think its the fact that its so dark, and not knowing what is under it that I fear. There is no way I could get myself in a lake at night time. Nope. Wouldnt do it. But its gotten to the point over the years that even just being near a large body of water at night time makes me uncomfortable. When I was still up in MI, there was this lake that I would have to drive over when I was working as a lab courier. I swear on my life, going over that bridge at night time FREAKED me out! I couldnt look at the water. Driving past a lake at night time... FREAKY. Now, normally a swimming pool at night is cool. In fact I prefer to swim in a pool at night, its so relaxing and quiet. But tonight I went down to the pool... and I was fine until I saw some debris floating in the water. (It stormed earlier tonight, lots of wind.) And since it was dark and I couldnt totally see what it was, it freaked me out so bad that I had to get out of the damn pool! Of course, it didnt help that they didnt have the underwater lights on either, so the water was pretty dark. I dont know... its such an odd phobia for me to figure out. I'm just weird.
