Beach Day

I went to the pool today for the first time.  It was nice, except that it wasn't as warm as I thought it would be.  Even so, I managed to get in for a while and swim.  The swimming usually makes my back, neck and jaw feel better.  But today it hasn't worked, I need to be finishing up the housework before Lindsay and Chris come back tomorrow, but my jaw hurts so bad it's hard for me to concentrate.  I gave Harlock a bath this morning, her ear allergies are acting up again and I'm afraid she'll get an infection and have to go to the vet.  So I've been using her prescription hydrocortizone drops, Neosporin because she's been scratching, and Benadryl cream for the itching on the outside.  I also have to fill her ear canals with vinegar and water once a day.  She's pretty miserable, I feel sorry for her.  It looks like Dad and Megan are going to be here for my birthday weekend, which is great.  They're going to take me to the beach.  I wanted to go so badly last year, and we just didn't make it.  This is also good because Jason doesn't have to go, since he hates the ocean so much haha.  The problem is I have to find a beach that isn't too far away, since we'll just be making a day trip.  So after sorting through New Jersey's many lovely beaches, I've tentatively settled on the one I found last year, Keansburg.  It's south of NYC, and it's technically on a bay, but it's close enough for me.  Plus, it has a boardwalk and it's only 3 and a half hours away, which is the same as driving to Philadelphia.  I'm pretty excited.  I also want a Friendly's ice cream cake, but Jason thinks that's silly.  To that I say, who doesn't like ice cream cake? haha.
