Well my foot was fine for most of the first dive...but then right near the end I suddenly got this HUGE cramp in my lower calf. I mean...I have never felt such a burning in my life. Nothing I could do alleviated it, so I gave my dive buddy the "up" sign and we both aborted the rest of the dive. Turns out he was low on air and had to abort too.

(I had the strange distinction of being the most experienced diver out of the class. It felt...weird, to be deferred to by Gary and the other students. Even still...I couldn't believe how my buddy was already at 600 psi when I was only at 1200)

Once we got to the surface the cramp subsided a bit and my buddy and I followed the rest of the class on snorkel as they completed the dive. 

I was supposed to do two more dives today, including a night dive that starts in half of an hour. I decided that I would rather play it safe and skip both of them. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to do at least one more dive as well.

grrr.

I think i overdid my last entry a wee bit. I'm not *quite* as obsessed as I made myself out to be. Don't go hiding small children and loved ones just yet. I sort of just hit a streak and ran with it. I sort of implied that if i didn't do this thing I would self destruct and sink to the bottom. While I would be sorely dissapointed, I'm not looking at this thing to rebuild me...just kind of...give me the space I need to ease the way back...

so maybe I am. gosh, I don't know.

I just told someone that she's apologizing too much for things outside her control and what do I immediately do? I go and get all apologetic myself. What a silly boy. 

But you know...is it normal to get excited about buying a scale from ebay? Cuz last night I did, and I did...no more guessing weights! Yay!

see...there I go.

ok I'm going to shutup now. please return to your previously scheduled activities
