Combatting Seasonal Depression

After several months of being cold, I finally got a chance to alleviate my seasonal depression and leave the cold Maine winter for my homeland, South Florida. While the sunshine and warm temperatures did wonders for my disposition, I was not competely cured of my seasonal depression until I took my little yellow kayak in the pool. I was very happy to discover that after three months I could still roll! Since I didn't want to look like a total goober, I didn't wear my helmet in the pool, but I couldn't find a great place to hook my noseplugs. They kept slipping off while I was underwater, and as far as I am concerned rolling without noseplugs is more or less death. To fix this problem, it occured to me I had to anchor my noseplugs somewhere above my nose. Since I didn't have my helmet on, I only had one option, and that was my ponytail holder. The noseplug cord thing was not long enough to reach my ponytail holder in a normal ponytail, so I was forced to resort to the oh-so-fashionable side pony. I think I look pretty hot myself. The wink just adds to it.
