Back in the pool again
Jan. 25th, 2026 08:26 amAs I suspected the cool temperature in the pool room did not really impact the swimming which was lovely. The window shades are still broken so on a sunny day, I need to get down there and done before the sun. Just barely made it today. It's going to be increasingly buggerish from here until Fall. BUT a flawed pool, in this case, is sure better than no pool at all.
I got caught up last night watching a documentary about George Carlin on HBO. It was particularly well done and included so many great, now old, comedians. Even Steven Wright. I still have half of it to go. It's not a short.
While the rest of the world is focused on snow, no electricity or Minneapolis, here we are all about the football. The game isn't until 3:30. There are giant football balloons everywhere and the conversation is where are you going to watch the game???? Costco and maybe Trader Joe's. I wish it was a 1 pm game. Oh well.
I have tossed out/donated/gotten rid of so much stuff lately, it's hard to keep track. It's wonderful to have the space, tho. I opened a drawer in the kitchen last night and found what I wanted. I remember that drawer being jammed to the gills with shit and now it's not at all. I have zero recollection of what used to be there.
My fingernails are crumbling. I keep them short but even so they are snagging on everything. And it's pissing me off. I may get out my tools today and spend some quality time encouraging them to behave.
And really, that's all I got for plans. In fact, this whole week is free as a bird. Volleyball and swimming and that is it really. No other nothings on the calendar. Nice.
