I got my sweater cast on. Not a minor task. 302 stitches. I actually cast on about 30 more stitches originally but realized after row 1 that it was way bigger than I needed. Rather than rip it out and starting again, I did emergency surgery that I can easilly h



Next up, 22 inches of this.

Today is probably nails day. I think I'll probably pop in after my swim. And then do a minor grocery shop. The nail/grocery place has some good walking opportunities so that's where I may knock off today's 20 minutes.

And that's the basic plan.

I have one of those foldable, collapsible footstools that you can tuck behind or under stuff when you aren't using it. The problem is, I cannot find where I folded/collapsed and tucked it behind or under. I have looked in every nook and cranny - well, not every or I would have found it. It's not something I would have given to Goodwill. GRRRR

This is the kind of billboard that tells me how much over the Too Much Shit line I am. I need to do a deep delete of this house.

I got my tax papers back from the CPA yesterday. I owe $0 and I overpaid $0. It feels so tidy and grown up. Happily, too, my CPA's bill is half of what it has been in previous years. He's in cahoots with my investment guy to make next year's taxes the same way but even more simple. I have never once met this dude, face to face but I am oh so grateful for his work every year and especially this year.

Yesterday's brush with the parking police has left it's mark. Most of the time, I get to the pool just before it opens so there are lots of easy parking spaces available. Easy and not reserved for disabled parking.

On Monday and Wednesday mornings, the story is very different. There is a private program of about 25-30 swimmers from 5-6:30 am. So when I get there, about 6:15, there is usually not a legal parking place in sight now that I've learned where I am parking is not legal.

But, there is a little lot that no one ever uses and is specifically available for pool peops. The problem is that it is a block away, up a hill.

Getting to the pool is downhill. But getting back to the car is a different tale.

I've decided to take it on as a challenge. I have time. No need to hurry. I'll take it slow and walk up the incline after my swim. It won't be easy but I think it's worth trying. In fact, I think I'm going to do it on Tuesdays and Thursdays, too as long as it's not too hot out.

Starting today. It's worth a try!

Bear delivery is tomorrow so today is bear portrait. Note, the black bear in the right hand photo will be staying here.

Getting from the pool, up the hill to the car, is doable. I was very glad to have to stop at the red light at the corner but I made it.  I think I'm going to try and park there every day. I stripped down the stuff in my swim bag to absolute minimum so it won't be any heavier than has to be.

It's a great all around solution.

And then, totally forgetting my new lactose intolerance theory, I cashed in on the Ben & Jerry's ice cream sale at Safeway.

DOH! I wonder what part of that ice cream I forgot had milk in it??? Guess I'll be running a more rigorous test than intended.

And... I forgot catfood. crap.
