This week has been just awesome for me on so many levels. Here is what I felt like a few hours ago:
Why?
Because

1. My BookBub promotion on Wednesday kicked my sales for into high gear, and the rankings are holding up days later. Woohoo & thank you, Bookbub!
2. I'm getting my ugly-a$$ kitchen remodeled in October. Bye-bye seventies yellow & brown! Hello Sweedish storage systems!
3. My in-laws kept my kindergartener overnight on a school night this week, saving me two hours of commuting and giving me a semi-relaxing evening with just my 3yo to take care of. It was like a mini-vacation.

Going into this morning, I was riding pretty high.

Then I had a pool mishap at the gym. Fortunately, it wasn't as bad as what happened to this poor guy:
I'm happy to say LA Fitness didn't have to close the pool for the day because of me. It was just a little embarrassing chokage.

You see, I've recently learned that I have horrendous front-crawl form. I think I look like this when I swim (you only have to watch a few seconds of the video to get the gist):
But what's really happening is more like this:
I do the front crawl with my head up like the tip of a ski. I don't like having my face underwater. Even with goggles. I can't get the rhythm of when to beathe in and out, and I feel kind of claustrophobic under water.

I'm trying to get better and practice putting my face in the water as I start the lap. Today, it...didn't go so well. I ended up at the end of the lane hacking up half a lung after swallowing chlorinated water.

I try to be so suave when I go to my gym, but I missed the mark today. It's just one way life keeps me humble.

How has life kept you humble, recently? Or is it all smooth sailing?
