Introduction

First of all, I'd like to thank you for showing an interest in my blog. It means a lot to me that you've decided to read this and try to gain an insight into my mind.

At times, my mind can go a thousand miles an hour; sometimes a mile a minute; sometimes there's nothing in there at all. When it is going a thousand miles an hour, I like to get what's in there out... this helps me to function better throughout my day. Otherwise, I get a lot of questions, like, "What's wrong with you today?" or "What's going on with you?" Questions of that nature.

I find that my job helps me to get my mind and my thoughts running. I have a fairly mindless job - I clean swimming pools - and I am by myself most of the time; therefore, there's nothing for me to do but get lost in my thoughts. When this happens, again, I like to get those thoughts out; otherwise, I find myself stuck on one subject, or past conversation, or thought.

Today was a fairly easy day, getting a lot done in a short amount of time. On days like these, my mind doesn't have as much time to get going. However, on days where I find myself stuck at one jobsite for a long period of time, that's when my mind goes bonkers.

Most of what I write will make sense to most of you. Some of it will make no sense at all, and that's okay. A lot of what I write here will eventually end up in a book, which I've already titled, "The Pool Lady. Thoughts, memories and experiences." A customer of mine gave me the idea last week when she came out to enjoy the sun and struck up a conversation with me. She said she found me fascinating and just before I left her yard, she said to me, "Someone should write a book about you and call it 'The Pool Lady.'" So that's where I got the idea to write all this stuff down. And since I'm already working on a fictional story that I hope to one day publish, I decided to blog these thoughts and memories and experiences so that no one can jump the gun on me and write it before I get the chance. This will also help me to purge my mind of these trains of thoughts so that I CAN write my fictional story without interference from my non-fiction life.

Having said that, I hope you find my blog entertaining and fascinating to read.

Thank you again,
Denise
