I haven't really swam for a few years now. I was in such poor health the last few years I couldn't swim. Today I put up my pool for the first time in a few years and it's a big achievement for me.
My body still hasn't recovered from my autistic shutdown and I feel everything I do takes so much more energy from me. Fixing me something to eat is like climbing a mountain. Putting my pool up required me tilling the yard to level things out and putting all the poles in. I had to clean the liner because it was filthy.
The weather here in Virginia has been crazy cold! It's almost July and yesterday was our first hot day all summer. I waited to put our pool up knowing it would be too cold to swim. We've had very odd summer weather.
It's been super rainy. My ducks love the rain so I'm happy for them.
I'm finished now with the pool and am filling it with hot water from an adapter hooked to my bathroom sink. I sat and tried to quiet my mind and meditate in a sense. I lay down on the bottom of the pool as the warm water began filling it and it was very peaceful.
I feel exhausted mentally and kind of like a person would in a deep depression but I'm not depressed....just autistic and my mind needs me to rest and recover.
