Since the beginning of the paddling season this year and looking at pictures of Scott’s Dragon Boat team practicing in shorts in sunny LA while we were stuck under snow storm, after snow storm and after snow storm. I really wanted to move or train somewhere else.

But it’s finally part of the season, where I can’t wait to dust off the old sandals and bring out my summery clothes of long board shorts and tank tops to wear to practice as the weather finally decide to warm up.

Sure, I maybe sidelined for a while but that hasn’t stopped me from enjoying today’s amazing weather by spending a good half of the day outside lounging with my notebook (err pen and paper) and a jug of water, working out some up and coming posts for Comment for a Cause, now to spend the time to type them up but I’ll do that later this week.

How was your Saturday?

It doesn’t seem like its Day 3 of Comment for a Cause at all, with being suck in the hospital from Sunday to Thursday for emergency gal bladder removal (thank god for auto scheduling posts). I wanna say thanks to Aidan who step up to the plate and was approving comments for me when I was still in the hospital.

I guess, I should start listening to my body then putting other people first like I have always have. My body finally got my attention by sending me to the hospital 3:30AM Sunday morning. I should have had the surgery on Tuesday been home Wednesday but thanks to 2 people who had to get shoot and put the hospital into lock down mode I got bumped until Wednesday.

The doctor told me that I can’t do anything or lift more then 5 pounds for 3-6 weeks. Which means I’ve been dry docked/benched from paddling until the doctor okays it. I can already tell you I’m going stir crazy until I’m back on the water.

I couldn’t believe on how many teenagers were being accompanied by the cops when I was in the hospital. I could see it more on a weekend but mid week? The joys of living in the city.
