There is a scene in one of the books I’m reading where the lead character (a free diver) submerges herself in a swimming pool to relax. I read the sentence and I find I am holding my breath through the next couple paragraphs. I do that when watching TV or movies too. If a character goes underwater or is being suffocated I hold my breath. I have to think, “Breathe!”
We made it through the first week of school. Schedules are still messed up (like always) and the guidance department is “working” to get them straightened out (like always) and I think they are going to ignore my requests to fix my class levels (like always). Certain colleagues keep encouraging me to be optimistic. I try, but I’m not holding my breath….

Let's do Something Cheap and Superficial 
I love Anna Nalick.
And I almost drowned while watching The Abyss–you know that scene in which Ed Harris has to inhale the pink fluid? Yeah; I had to be helped out of the theater. Underwater/suffocation sequences don’t work for me. And I had to leave Titanic six times to go to the restroom, what with all that water exploding everywhere.
Optimism Now, Tim!
Yeah, The Abyss gets me every time! ~Tim
