I am listening to The Man Who Wasn't There while I swim. It's is not at all what I thought it was but it is fascinating none the less. I go through phases of swim listening. Some days I'm just up for music and some days it's podcasts and now it's books. As much as I love to swim, I think I'd never last the hour without ear entertainment.

I tackled part of the living room project yesterday. It's the one that was the least appealing so I wanted to get it out of the way. It was not quite as bad as I thought it would be. And it was fun to find stuff that I'd 'lost'.

Just to the right of this are 4 drawers that need going through as well but that won't be nearly as big a deal, especially now that I have everything organized.

After some email swapping, Misfit has decided that my Shine is, as I reported, dead. They are sending me a new one. But it will, hopefully, be a backup as I plan to get the new Speedo Shine today at the Apple Store. I have enjoyed my Apple store visits. I bought the first iPad on the first day, I bought a laptop briefcase there once and I went with someone (I forget who) while they bought some Apple something. I would probably be more tempted to acquire Apple products if I didn't hate hate hate iTunes so much. But, the store and the store staff have always been a pleasant experience. I hope today's the same.

Depending on which Apple store I go to (which is dependent on which one has inventory), I'm pretty sure I'll be combining my trip with some walking. These days are bringing wonderful walking weather. I've been slacking off my 20 minutes a day because of heat. That excuse is no longer valid so I need to get back in the saddle.

I have an hour to kill before it makes sense to leave for the pool.

After my swim, I sat in the gym lobby and called all four local Apple stores. Three had never heard of the Misfit Speedo Shine which is to go on sale there today. One told me that it was an app for the iPhone and free.

I came home and ordered it online. And then wrote a sad note to my contact at Misfit. I shared with her my disappointment and asked her to share it with the people who gave a shit. Oh and a posted a tweet calling out Speedo and Misfit.

Now I am moving on.

I think I'm going to walk over to the teryiaki place and get dinner. Their chicken/beef combo is plenty for 2 meals and saves nicely. They are only open for lunch but I don't like eating that much for lunch.

Well, almost done. I emptied both closets (only the big one shown) and did a severe cull. I deep sixed lots of clothes that fit, are age appropriate, look fine and are very wearable. BUT, I know, I will never wear them. I kept only those things I'm likely to wear and probably kept too many. I tried to think about what if I went out of town for a week or needed to go to a funeral - summer or winter. I think I'm covered.

BUT, I fully intend to do it again in the Sprint and I'll bet I can still cull by half.

Then I put everything left back into the one closet and now I have lots of easy sewing storage space. And the closet isn't jammed! Score!!
