A day of a lot... for me

I had a lovely swim class. After class a woman who kinda looked familiar came up and introduced herself and asked about classes at other pools. Apparently she's seen me around. We had a nice chat and now I have a new friend. And she told me that my favorite teacher is back on Fridays at the far away pool. I may try to make it next Friday.

Then home to change shoes, hang up wet suit, check on the tree sweater peops and head out for the movie.

I met machupicchu downtown for Anna Karenina. Our expectations were low but, sure enough, what seems like many torturous hours later, we agreed, it fell short. One old (like probably older than me) guy sitting near us left in the middle grumbling 'I can't take any more of this'. I gave serious thought to joining him. But, finally we got to the last train and whew.

My plan was to hang downtown and see what was up and walk home but downtown was just too full of peops so I came on home. I had a bite to eat and then took off for Trader Joes and Petco.

catmomma convinced me to try this really good new (to me) cat litter instead of the clay stuff I've been using since forever. The new stuff is very light weight and I don't use nearly as much as the clay stuff but OMG does that stuff stink. I even use the scented kind and still - whew. So I wanted to see if Petco had any remedy. I bought something but I'm not hopeful. I really don't want to go back to the other but geesh something's gotta get fixed. Moving or changing the kind of actual litter box is not an option.

Home now to stay.

All the trees have beautiful sweaters on them now. It does look so cool. It's too dark to get a good Done pic now... maybe tomorrow.
