My beloved ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
resourceress is back in Boston again. Yesterday, we shared a late morning, not leaving the comfort of my bedroom until after noon. We then had a mellow afternoon, getting a large breakfast at Butterfield's, reading Iron Man: Hypervelocity, and hitting a yarn store. Eventually, though, the time came for her lovely trip to end and for me to bring her to the airport.
After returning from Midway, I had intended to make a cameo appearance atcrim_ferret's birthday party in Naperville. However, I was starting to feel a little under the weather and I was all-too-aware that I needed to wake up at 6am today. So I ended up staying in instead, and will wish Crim a virtual Happy Birthday (to go with the one that I conveyed in person on Wednesday).
Last night was the first time that I have slept alone in the Event Horizon a very long time. In fact, I cannot recall the last time that I slept here with only the cats for company.gyades is still in England, and polymorphism was in Wisconsin. So it was just me and the three fuzzy black girls. It was nice, actually, and reminded me of the earliest days of the Event Horizon, in that tiny sliver of time when it was only me who lived here. That time, in early November 2003, now feels like it was just last week and also like it was a lifetime ago.
Six o'clock came far too soon, as it always does. I drove into the city and loaded my gear onto the R/V Aquatica for my SCUBA dives. We went out about thirteen miles on Lake Michigan, with the clear weather providing some spectacular views of the skyline. Eventually, we suited up in neoprene and go ready to go down to wreck of the Macinac, about sixty to eighty feet below the surface. The weather was fantastic and the water was warmer than I had expected. Must have been the thick (7mm) wetsuit, because I am told that it was 50 degrees Fahrenheit down there... and I still remember freezing during my test dives off the coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, in April 1994! The wreck was nifty enough, though visibility was low in the water today. I did not bring my camera, but my dive buddy did... so hopefully he will send some pictures that are worthy of posting.
Although Lake Michigan was not as spiffy a dive site as some of the other places I have gone down (e.g. Key West, Hawaii, Antigua), it was still good to get back underwater again after nearly two years -- last dive was in Key West on August 11th< 2005! And it was also good to finally get into Lake Michigan -- it is somewhat embarrassing that I lived here for nearly three years and never went diving locally!
