Water temperature in the pool is 85°. I'm off to work. And will work for at least four, if not five, hours today! Lest you think that being a professional sun tanner is easy...
Radio on... Check. Cool beverage in a thermal mug... Check. Book... Two of them. Check. Float [not the good one - that one got run over by Appuk and the lawn mower]... Check.
I'm not out there nearly as much as I used to be, Samantha. And, I'm actually a little more cautious in MY middle-age than I ever was when I was younger.
Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, there was a Woman who thought she was living the American Dream. Her childhood, although now not particularly memorable, was fairly normal. She went to school. She got a job. She met a tall, blonde and handsome pilot and married him. It was all good. They were the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple. The handsome pilot built her the house of her dreams in North Carolina, where she thought they would live for the remainder of their many, many days to come. Circumstances, totally out of the control of this lovely Ken and Barbie couple, changed everything. Shortly afterward, they came to find themselves living a whole new life in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Oh, sure, they are still the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple, but Barbie now wears an abeyah over her designer outfits when she leaves her house, she has given up her pink convertible because she is not allowed to drive, and she no longer has an office that she visits five days a week, instead choosing to spend her time as a stay-at-home wife and an over-protective, doting Mommy to their two absolutely adorable, much loved and very, very pampered four-legged “Kids.”
I like that UV index.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Got a little color, today, TJ. It was a beautiful day. Enjoyed, thoroughly!
ReplyDeleteI'd say I'm jealous, but there's still the fact that you are in Saudi and I'm not...

No offense, but do you tan all the time? Don't you know what life-long tanners look like in old age? It's pretty scary!

ReplyDeleteGrowing up in Miami and seeing old ladies who were tanning queens scared me off from tanning completely.
