A different Saturday
Mar. 2nd, 2013 07:25 amFor the past four weeks, I've had an art class on Saturdays. For the past couple of years, I've gone to a swim class first thing on Saturday mornings at the Meadowbrook pool.
The art classes are over and Meadowbrook is closed til April.
My plan today is to go up to Queen Anne pool for a class at 9. My expectations are low. The Queen Anne pool is small and dark and dingy and the classes are crowded. I've heard the Saturday morning class is really crowded. The Queen Anne neighborhood is not that far but a royal bitch and a half to get to and very little available parking.
Hopefully, my expectation bar is so low, I won't even trip over it. There are, I think, lots of opportunities for breakfast after class and a Trader Joe's within walking distance of the pool.
That's about it for the plan. It is not a weekend to be get carried away with todos. Major highways are throttled or closed due to maintenance issues. There's a giant convention downtown and a minor trade show here in my part of town and the Sounders will be playing their first soccer game of the season here tonight.
So I'll come on home and stay here, happily.
And that's the haps. So far.

Delightful!
Mar. 2nd, 2013 12:42 pmI got to the pool way more easily than I expected. I found a parking spot in their tiny lot (and there were spots available even on the street). I got there way too early but that was ok.
The class turned out to be great! The instructor was one I had not had before. She was really big on interval work - each different exercise done at about 50% and then at 100%, etc. No slacking.
It was crowded but... it was crowded with my peops from Meadowbrook!! My buddy, Diane, was there and Kathy and several others who's names I don't even know. It was funny to see those people at a different pool. And, turns out the pool isn't tiny. Diane said that she thought it was bigger- I said it was smaller. I came home and checked and it's exactly the same size. In fact all of the pools I go to regularly are the same size. I would have bet money that wasn't true. Wild.
Oh and this class is not 45 minutes but is really a full hour. Whew.
After class, I walked down the street several blocks and couldn't find anything interesting for breakfast. So I walked back to the car and decided to try the other direction. Half a block in, I hit pay dirt. A nice little diner kind of place that was not crowded. The food was good and it was comfortable.
And so now I think I have my Saturday routine for March!
I made a quick stop in Trader Joe's and then whipped through a car wash and came on home.
Now I'm listening to the ballgame while I do this n' that!
