Pool

Two afternoons ago I went with Gina and Kari to the pool in Lindsborg. Good times were had by all...well..almost. Kari was trying to get me to go off the high dive. I of course am semi scared of heights and jumping off of a high place is not one of my favorite things to do, and least at first. Well she finally convinced me to go. The first time (I am not sure what order that these events took place but anywho) I went to get in line we got close to the front and then the lifeguards blew their whistles for a ten minute break. As you can probably imagine I was glad for that intervention. So we waited for the break to be over and then Kari once again got me to go get in line. This time when I got almost to the front of the line I felt some thing on the bottom of my foot. After a few seconds I started to feel a stinging feeling. I lifted it up and saw a bee. Well I have a fear of bees also. I had never in my life been stung so I have never really known how bad they hurt. I just assume that the hurt bad. So I flicked the bee off of my foot and then realized that the stinger was still there. Then I had to get that out. Which wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. So once again I avoided the high dive. Well the bee wasn't that big so it didn't hurt very much after about ten minutes. So kari got me to go get in line for the third time. I finally went off and found that it wasn't that bad. it was actually kind of fun. So as you can see folks, I overcame two fears during this expedition. And I will go away a changed person.
