I just finished watching Love Actually. siiigh. It makes you want to tell everyone that you love them.
Today I must have been in the pool for a total of 6 hours. I taught lessons this morning (like I do every morning), then came home and napped for 3 hours. Then Paty came over and we went to the pool to do lifeguard re-cert. It was a little intense. First we had to swim a 500. After that we just did all these different saving techniques- active victim, submerged victim, spinal injuries. My favorite would have to be the escaping methods, though. Paty would swim up to me, jump on me and strangle me, and I would have to try to get away hahah. Anyway, we were in the pool till about 10:30 pm. Finally Brucie baby let us go, after each paying him $50. Brucie is seriously raking in the money from all the re-certifying I have to get done.
Honestly, I couldn't be luckier to have this job as a lifeguard/swim instructor. This is my fourth summer doing it so I am now getting paid $10.85/hour. Despite all the training and testing and everything you have to go through, it really is worth it. I feel like I really know my shit and that I'm good at my job. Teaching lessons is hard work, but really rewarding and lifeguarding is just chill.
My dad is moving out tomorrow. I haven't really been thinking about it because it's kind of become the norm around here. One parent moves out, the other moves in. He's moving to an apartment in TO but then in august he will move in nor cal. Wow. I can't even comprehend that right now. I think it will actually be good for him though. I feel so bad because my mom has a boyfriend/s and my dad still wears his wedding ring. Shitty. I was thinking about it the other day and I came up with that the way my dad is dealing with this is he's regressing back to how he used to be. He used to have friends (he finally called his old friend the other night and went to a Dodger game with him). He used to smoke ciggarettes (I found a pack of camels laying around). Best of all, he used to smoke weed (I found some rolling papers and little stems of pot haha). I think it's good for him that he's actually doing things to make himself happy. I truly hope he can be happy without my mom.
Well, I better get to bed. I work 8:45 to 4:30 tomorrow. I neeeed money. OH yeah, my mom is going out of town this weekend and I don't THINK my dad will be here so maybe I'll have people over. Lets get waaaaaasssssteddddd
