spa swimming

My gym has had issues with the spa (hot tub) leaking into the pool. And they really did this morning. Half the pool is spa temperature and the other half is regular which feels very cold when swimming from spa hot to normal. It really did a number (and not in a good way) on my swimming attitude. I only cut my swim short by about 100 yards but the 1900 yards I did were not fun. Not horrible but not fun.

Plus, my attitude in general is in kind of a funk. I hate coughing. And I'm uninspired. And grumpy.

On the up side, I have traded in my Breathe Right nose strips for cranking up the head of my bed to more of an incline. It's actually kind of working. Much cheaper and easier on the skin of my nose.

Friday is bear delivery day so today and tomorrow I need to finish up this crop and get them photographed. The bear numbers are back up so photography will be a challenge. However the new phone takes much better pictures.

My stupid feet

I so want a pair of boots - with soft fur or some kind of lining that doesn't require socks. And I want them to not to give me tendinitis in my foot. I have now tried and sent back four Zappos pairs. I thought I had one nailed but it arrived today. Fit great. Felt great. I wore it around here all day while I was on my feet and now my foot is all ouchy.

I've ordered two more. If they don't work, I give up. I just won't go outside when it's raining or snowing because my goto shoes are Crocs with holes in them.

Poop.

I got a jacket cut out this morning but I didn't get it put together yet. My swimsuit pattern came today. It's too small (they don't make one for my big ass) so I traced it onto Swedish tracing paper and made it bigger. It's a super simple pattern. I like my suits super simple so if I can get it to work, it will be perfect. The pattern is ready. The fabric and elastic aren't here yet. So we're on hold for now.

I'm still a crabby appleton and I have no idea why. No reason at all. It's just one of those days, I guess. Thankfully, I don't have many.
