A few random ruminations

1) Spring Break is officially here, and I'm going to find some elevation in Georgia. Then I have to do some serious work for the next week and a half after I return.

2) I went to Wal-Mart today, and as much as I hate to admit that I shop there, I'm also frugal and it is miles closer than Target. Anyhow, I tried to reuse some plastic bags, so I put them on the conveyor belt in front of my items. When the woman picked them up, I informed her I wanted to reuse them. Instead she threw them away. Surprised, I said, "No, I meant to reuse them!" She lazily gestured at the racks of unused bags. So I had to ask her to take the bags out of the trash, so I could at least recycle them if she was going to refuse to put my items in them.

3) Why is it that whenever I've been in the pool for 30 minutes, I really have to go to the bathroom? This is even if I've gone right before I got in, and you would think that I would be losing water if I'm swimming laps. Is this my body trying to osmoregulate, am I ingesting more water than I think, or is it left over from my childhood fear of water?
