The week’s chugging along – no complaints there.

Monday, Corinne and I went and bought wetsuits, hoods and gloves for our open water dive in a week and a half. While we easily could have rented that stuff for our dive (and we’ll be renting other stuff), I figured that 1) we’ll be diving in cold water so it’s something we’ll want anyway, 2) if you rent gear for a while, you can easily pay more than just buying your own and 3) people pee in wetsuits – and I don’t want to wear something that someone pees in.

I’m not sure what I’ll be buying next in terms of gear, but we’ll see. One thing at a time and all that. It’s an expensive sport that requires a lot of gear and luckily you don’t need to buy it all at once. With so much of it being extremely important life support equipment, it’s worth trying out a few things to see what I like before making a hefty investment.

Anyway, I can’t wait for the weekend. Not so much because we have some crazy super fun plans, but more because I won’t be at work. And while I don’t generally dislike my job, it’s still not something I’d choose to do for free.
