Naps on the Beach

After I got out of McD's today, Deb called to see if I wanted to join her and Holden at the beach. I had planned to stick to my routine of taking a shower, then a nap, and possibly following that with a stimulating trip to the laundromat so I can wear clothes to work the rest of the week.

I may hvae to go to work nude this week. I decided the beach was a much preferred choice. And it was. We went through the usual scneario: Deb loaded up the car with Holden and their beach stuff, stopped to pick up drinks and gas, and came down to wait in my parking lot for me while I took a moment to get ready (read: I stripped out of the McD's get-up and into my suit, unshaven, and locate my beach towel and sandals, totalling about 5 minutes worth of effort that somehow stretched into 20. ??) We went to beach and got all set up while Holden ran down to test the water. Shortly after sitting down on the beach pad, and after a few brief words with Deb, I drifted off into a peaceful slumber accompanied by the sounds of wavesand happy babies, and the wonderful feeling of a delicious breeze which never paused in its gentle carresses. I hope I didn't snore too loudly.

After I while I got up and walked on the edge of the water. It was warm and inviting and I was easily convinced to make my way in up to my thighs. There was rip-tide today so I didn't risk going in far enough to swim, but I didn't need to. My feet had been sore when we left for the beach, since I had just come off an 8-hour shift of slinging burgers. The walk on the sand and throuh the waves worked wonders on relieving the aches.

It reminded me of sitting with my friend Rick last night. We were watching a movie and his feet were very sore. I tried to help him out with a massage, but they were apparently much too sore for that to be much help. After walking on the beach for a while, I thought maybe he should try that. I'll have to mention it to him.

As for going to work nude this week, I apparently will have to do that since today was supposed to be laundry day and now I am looking at a beautiful sunset off my balcony and thinking, "Well, I have one pair of pants I can iron, and there's those skirt things..." Since I have eaten dinner and had a nice glass of wine, I think I will have to wait and try to do laundry after work tomorrow night.
