Stuff

I made it home from the pool before the real hot hot and now I'm safely ensconced in  air conditioned comfort with zero plans to stray.

I've been doing a little test. I've not been using any alarm to wake up. I've just been waking up when I wake up. It's not working. There's no reason why it shouldn't. I have no place I have to be at any particular time, ever. It should not matter one bit. And, yet. It really does. This morning I didn't wake up until 6:45. Which for normal people, I think is probably still way too early. For me, I'd missed the fucking worm. My first thought was YIKES, I've over slept. I didn't enjoy my coffee, I read my email/internet way too fast. It was not at all the peaceful Sunday morning gentle awake that it should have been.

I need an alarm to make sure I make the most out of my days. And so the test is over. I'm going back to the alarm tomorrow morning.

I ordered new goggles from Amazon to be delivered today. I've been wearing TYR's Nest Goggles forever and lately they just aren't cutting it. Too foggy too fast and then, if I don't get them back on exactly right, they leak. Life's too short to spend an hour in the pool with leaky, foggy goggles. Especially when goggles are comparatively cheap.

Last time I placed a same day order from Amazon, I got the promised by-8pm package at 8:40. I'll be interested to see if they an actually get me the goods by 8pm this time.

Our water was cut off last night. I forget the reason but we were not supposed to use water from 3 am until 10 am. Like the majority of the people who slept in this building, I totally forgot and flushed the toilet this morning. The world didn't end. It's now 10:20 so time, I think, to finish washing up last night's dishes before I hit the sewing machine.

The baseball game is at noon. Our last two games have been real disappointments. I'd like to win again, plz.

Last night I started listening to a new novel - Noah Hawley's Before the Fall. I'm only an hour in so far but captivated. I think I might start from the beginning again to make sure I get the front end details. I can't quit thinking about the plot even just the little I've heard.

The Mariners lost again today. This is not good.

But this picture is cracking me up.



I fixed two 2-shirts and made a doll and cleaned up the sewing area.



Now, I'm either going to listen to the book or watch CBS Sunday Morning. Or both. And finish off the latest bear.

Oh, and Amazon fixed the 'can't get it there by 8pm' problem. They moved the get it there time to 9pm. [Edited later: The delivery arrived at 7pm. I'm happy.]
