Total: 3400
Despite that final total, today sucked. It was just me and Alex in the slow lane, and I got to go back to my old method of being the only special kid in class, getting shorter sets. Laurie got bumped to lane two, and I imagine this is where she'll stay from now on, since we obviously weren't crowded in lane one today.
Anyway, I had a depressing weekend and swimming today only really cemented my feelings of being a worthless failure. Then some other things happened this morning to make it suck even more. I really could have used a mental health day, but I have a meeting this afternoon I can't miss, so I'm here. Doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.

I'll save the usual rah-rah routine, because I don't know if it actually helps any, but I did want to note, when I read this, that as much as you think you suck, what you've achieved the last six months is what I aspire to accomplish. So, in a way, you're my role model right now. :}
