My friends and I go to the beach every weekend.
When the weather is nice and the waves are high, we take our surfboards out on the water.
I’m not particularly great at surfing, but I always have a fun time. A couple of weeks ago, my friends and I decided to go surfing even though there was a storm churning off the coast. The weather wasn’t particularly sunny, but the wave heights were out of this world and we wanted to try our luck. My friends are much better surfers than I am and they did not want to give up a chance at the 10 and 12 foot waves. I took my board, but I was a little intimidated by the water. I was on the shore for a long time, and then the sun came out for a couple of minutes. I decided to paddle out to the waves for a couple of rides. While I was paddling out to my friends, I got bit by a shark. It wasn’t a very bad bite, but it required 12 stitches and antibiotics. I’ve been taking the antibiotics for a while now and my wound is getting better. Unfortunately, the antibiotics make my stomach terribly upset. I’m trying to work as an HVAC repairman during the day, but I have to make a lot of stops. Yesterday, I had to leave an AC installation three times to use the bathroom at the gas station. The HVAC repairs and installation are taking a lot longer because I have to constantly stop, but I can’t afford to stop working just because my tummy is upset.
