Only 7 More!


As of  8:30pm tonight, today marks only seven  (7)(count em 1,2,3,4,5,6,7) more practices until we go to Catalina, I am not going to lie I am kind of scared!  Now I am not scared of the paddle over, I am more nervous than scared, nervous at the thought of not making it back into the boat when it is my turn to jump in the water and change (actually I am freaked out about this) but I am scared to get on the Catalina Express, because the thought and anxiety building in me about getting seasick, makes me want to barf right now!  Anyone have a Xanax handy?  Holy Cow, I am a liar, I am scared to death I am going to miss the changes, I want to stay in the boat the entire time, I want to tough it out and paddle the whole 26 miles, OMG, I am going to die on September 8th! AHHHHHH!!!!!  Deep breath, it is going to be ok, breathe erin!  To be honest I am getting myself really worked up about this, it is soooooo crazy, this whole season I have been calm, cool and collected but for some reason as of right now I am NOT, I am freaking out!   I guess it is fear of the unknown, I have only done one (1) real life water change and I kind of bombed it, it was slippery and fast and I did not grab on hard enough.  Breathe erin!! AHHH!!!!  In the meantime while I have my mini panic attack, I am trying to figure out the logistics of going Zip Lining (total procrastination of getting on the boat) and making it back to the mainland in time to see the guys finish in Newport.  I am willing to shell out $120 to avoid getting seasick for two more hours, umm that is just plain pathetic, Erin suck it up and get on the boat!  Or, maybe I will just stay there forever and ever?  Anyways, send good thoughts my way on September 8th as I paddle the open seas with 8 of my good friends and I try not to miss the boat!   Pictures are for sure to come, this is an adventure I will be sure to document!
