Juneathon, Day 4

Hey, Mrs. Grump Gills. When a big ol’ baby bump gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming…just keep swimming…just keep swimming…swimming…swimming…What do we do? We swim…swim. I love to swim.

No earworm advice could be better for my sciatica pain. For Day 4 of the Juneathon, I just kept swimming.

Emmalynn and I were invited to a pool party today to celebrate a friend’s birthday and I took full advantage of the pool. Since I had to navigate through super soakers, children cannonballing on top of me and my daughter pulling down my bottoms to help her win our race, it was quite work-out and not as an uplifting experience I had hoped it to be. Despite all the obstacles, I managed to swim quite a few laps and my back thanked with little pain for the rest of the day.
