after my first dive yesterday, my body went into shock. the water was so cold, then when we got out, the wind was cold. hayato and i were freezing, kyle had a thicker wetsuit on so he was fine. i was so cold i couldn’t even talk. got home, put sweat pants and shirt on, socks, wrapped myself in a thick blanket, and went to bed around 3pm. 1 hour later, i woke up dripping in sweat and felt powerless. i couldn’t even get up to drink water. lying there, i was thinking “OMG, i caught a cold!!!” then i thought back from that morning. “i didn’t drink water all day!!!” i woke up and rushed around forgetting to drink my morning 3 glasses of water, and no water while diving, and no water on the boat, and no water when i got home. i drank 2 sports drinks but doesn’t work, water is my life. without it, i’d be dead. anyway, i drink 3 liters of water last night, went to sleep at 8pm, wake up at 6am feeling totally perfect. come to find out, i was dehydrated. but thank goodness i’m not sick or that would suck!
a few months ago, kimura-san gave me some towels. the coolest yamari custom towels. super light, super fast drying, and super good. i’ve been using it ever since. yesterday, kimura-san gave some to the moniz kids. my sister took it home, wrote their names on it, and now it’s hanging in their house. my sister told me that the towels are so nice that she doesn’t want to use it and get it dirty. that’s so funny because i felt the same way when i got it. haha. i better go write my name on mine so nobody steals it. have a beautiful day!
