Gangsta Lady's wrath returns

Hellow followers- happy to report that I did not drown in the pond the other day. I think I am feeling more confident with the whole OWS although like I mentioned before, I still have to work on getting better at seeing where I am going. Swim cap issues are still a problem, so if there is any advice out there regarding what I can try to have the thing stay on, I would welcome your feedback. I have googled this problem, and have not had much success in finding a solution.

On to other news.... I can not recall if I have blogged about this before, so forgive me if I have-but it involves the notorious Gangsta Lady. She happens to be a woman with jet black hair who wears a Baby Phat jacket and neon pink lipstick all over her teeth. She attends the same gym as me, is probabally in her 60's and is incredibly mean-I have seen her yell at many people. Normally, I would avoid this individual, but unfortunately she happens to swim at the pool.

Back in October, I of course chose unknowing the lane next to Gangsta lady to practice in. Well- I guess I must of splashed her a little-and she stopped me in my lane and blasted me. Gangsta lady does not wear a swim cap and does not like getting her hair wet. I assume this is because her jet black hair dye could ink the pool ? The other pool patrons have encouraged me to continue swimming and not let this woman unerve me-after all I am not the only one she has had "issues" with.

So I continue to go to the pool and practice. Every time I swim, she is there and gives me the evil eye. Now I don't puposely go out of my way to splash her, but being in a pool and the lane next to her, sometimes this happens. For the last several months she has said nothing other than to give me her icy stare. The odd person she does talk to, she will speak badly of me . Today it happened once again. She went on about how awful I am in the crowded loby entrance to the gym, suggested I was a horrible swimmer, and went onto to say that even 4 lanes away she gets splashed by me.

Clearly this woman has anger issues and hates me. I do my best to ignore this, but sometimes I tell you-it gets to you. So today I felt like an idiot (even if Gangsta Lady is crazy-it's not a great feeling to be dissed in front of a crowd) but refuse to engage in such a ridiculous circumstance I find myself in. So today, my followers, you are the unfortunate who get to hear my rant. The one positive that came of this is that I had an awesome workout-nothing like a little anger to fuel that fire!
