So I've been obsessing -- OBSESSING -- about the Funky Monkey.
I really want to do well and at least not embarrass myself -- and I have been worried about my shoulder and scared to death that I will fall.
Then I read a blog that says those suckers are greased anyway.
Odds are, I'm going to fall . . . In fact, I am now planning to fall and that makes preparing for this so much easier.
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to try and I am going to be very proud of each rung I achieve. It's not like I'm going to just jump into the water, but hey, when the deck is stacked, one needs to revise expectations.
I feel better about this, actually.
So do I, Beth. I still can't manage one pull-up/chin-up/anything-up. I will not last long on those rungs, but that's okay. I'll try. You'll try. We are the only ones that matter in this.
ReplyDeleteI feel better as well. It's the icy water that terrifies my, though. I don't like air temperature below 76 degrees. I'm doomed.
