@wordridden Wowee. I *love* your writing, you really make it feel so very real. Bloody hell though. I’m glad you said something!
@aegir Aw, thank you, Aegir - now you, too, get to experience the terror! šŸ˜‚ Yeah, I had to say something. It was one of those situations where I knew I couldn't "just push through" - it's gonna take a bit more work than that. Even MORE swimming! šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚
