    Icky, icky OWS

    I went to the bay to swim this morning, I did not have time to run out to the lake before the lifeguards came on duty. They will not let me swim outside the bathing area. So off to the bay, which up until now has been lovely. It was icky and murky and filled with small gelatinous creature that went down my suit. They were not jellies that I could see with my eye, I could just feel them bouncing off me . Like swimming in jello.

    Icky. I planned on 30 mins and last 10.

    THEY WERE IN MY SUIT IN UNMENTIONABLE PLACES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I hope none decided to come and live at your house.


    It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

    Blllleeeeech!!!!! Gross. I've never had the gelatinous creature experience, just the stinking murky bottom that you sink in up to your waist when you try to stand up. Unidentifiable jellies are much worse I'd have to say.
