Swimming in winter brings a mix of joy and a sense of anxiety to my heart. On the plus side, it could mean jacuzzi. Majorly awesome. On the other hand, it means lots of work. Majorly not awesome. So when I found myself wanting the jacuzzi but relenting the prep work that must go into the jacuzzi appearance, I questioned if it was worth it.
Now, being a girl and getting ready for summer swimming is a process unto itself. It takes weeks of work - plucking, tanning, shaving, exfoliating. It's ugly, don't get me wrong. The tools look torturous - chemicals, sharp blades, hot sun lamps and sandpaper. All for a short few months of Michigan sun exposure. Sure, guys can just throw on swim trunks and have fun. But being a girl is not for the weak or lazy. And it becomes a problem when you get too lazy.
So, as I was questioning my opportunity for jacuzzi, I decided it was worth the prep work - only to have my hopes dashed. All that work - all for naught. I shaved my legs for this?
Lesson learned. Stay as prepared as possible.
