Icing on the cake

susandennisSo, I'm standing in my new dressing room this morning putting on my swimsuit and figured out exactly what was missing. A mirror. I have one, inconveniently hooked on the bedroom door which I never use because... it is inconvenient! So I took it down and leaned it against the space where my swim suits hang to dry. PERFECT!!
I think I'll move the suits to the back of the bedroom door. Or maybe the door to the bathroom. Doesn't matter. And, godbless Command strips. I put in a work order to have them come hang the mirror. It's going to be awesome.
I had decided to skip the swim this morning but then, changed my mind and got in a good number of laps while it was still not quite light. It was pretty crowded down there. Dixie was doing her lane walk. Dixie is married to Butch who also lane walks sometimes, usually during volley ball. Dixie knits amazing dolls - big ones - to order. They are incredibly detailed and beautiful. She's the one who tracked me down to find out how I did the curly hair because she had a curly hair requirement for one of her college mascots. Fin man was in the other lane. He always swims with yellow fins. I have no idea what his name is but he's in the top 10% or of people here who are able bodied. And he's in the top 1% of men who are. I need to find out his name.
Anyway, it was a good swim. During the six weeks I didn't swim, Google updated my Pixel watch. It used to just show time elapsed while I swim. I had to wait until I had sync'd with the app before I could learn number of laps, etc. But now I can get that and much more data right on the watch while I'm swimming. It's pretty darned cool. I used to have a fancy swim watch that did that but it was a crappy every day watch. Now my very cool every day watch has stepped up its game!
I need to do laundry today. And I realized that now would be a very good time to switch from mini monsters to Easter bunnies. I have a nice bit of monster backlog that will enable me to keep up supply while I work on bunnies. I may start that today.
