During my swim last Saturday, I finally figured out a decent turn that enabled me to stay completely horizontal and swim non-stop. It's not the fancy flip turn that you see in the Olympics but it means I don't really stop when I get to the end of the lane and can just do a real continuous loop and keep on swimming without stopping.
This morning, at first, I couldn't remember how I did it. But, soon figured it out. It' makes for a tougher swim - the no stopping - but it is good. I still don't think I could do a mile or even a half mile truly continuously. Well, maybe. Anyway, it was fun.
Today is Dishwasher Repair Day. Sometime between 1-5. The email said someone would call to confirm the night before. Didn't happen. The appointment confirmation page says someone will call 30 minutes before they arrive. We.Shall.See.
I'm now thoroughly convinced that I can get along fine/better without a dishwasher which is very liberating. So whatever.
When I saw my doctor a month ago, he told me to cut back on both the aspirin and the vitamin D - take them every other day instead of every day. It could be my imagination or my hopes and dreams but I swear by blood bruises are not as frequent and healing faster. The giant one I got last Sunday is well on the way to no longer being there and I have one whole hand that has not a blemish on it. Wow! Kewel!
And, I'm still not dead.
Tomorrow is a big day. The electrician is scheduled to be here first thing to swap out my ceiling lights. (He rarely shows when he says he will so I'm not counting on it but I will need to be up and dressed at 8 just in case.) Then there's swimming at 11 and then I'm off to Big Fish Games to do some testing. Should be fun.
This is from my brother's shop web cam. It is not an uncommon sight. His dog likes to be the first to greet a new customer but there's a bell on the door so she doesn't need to actually keep eyes on to get the job done.
She cracks me up.

Jun. 16th, 2014 03:33 pmSo last week when the dishwasher died, the lady at 1800 GE was amazingly wonderful. Today the repairman comes and he checks a few things and tests that, indeed there is no water, and then takes the rack out and bangs on the center thing and turns it on and ... water.
He explained that today's dishwashers are so efficient that they do not get enough hot water to keep themselves flushed out. The center thing is a float that determines how much water is needed and it was stuck probably from gumming up due to not enough hot water. Once he got it unstuck, it knew it needed water and voila! fixed.
I was delighted. I said 'let me get my credit card' and he said 'well, wait a minute. when did you get this?' and I said November of 2013.. no I mean 2012. and he said 'oh I think you meant 2013 - let's call this warranty work.' And he did. Saved me the $80 minimum charge.
Is there a happier camper??? I do not think so!! Working dish washer AND the knowledge of how to fix it next time AND the lesson on be sure and run the hot water and set it to boost temperature before I turn it on and all will be good.
Holymolyrockandroly.
PLUS, now I know I don't even need to use it at all! Win win win win win
