Same song different week

So, I get to the pool, as usual this morning only to discover, once I get in the gym that the fucking pool is closed again!!! Again the closure notice says it is closed from yesterday until Tuesday. I did not hang around for details, I just hot footed back to the car and on to the city pool which is about 20 minutes away.

The city pool is fine but it does not open until 8:30 and it only opens for lap swimming for an hour. That's just not long enough for me. If I have to share a lane with someone slow or with a bunch of someones, I kill time waiting. There's just no margin for error. I only got in 1.2 miles - I try to make 1.3 my minimum.) It's all too stressful (whined in my most entitled voice possible).

At least it really is a spectacular pool and the kiddies are in their own pool/playland on the other side of a nice, soundproof glass. Tomorrow I guess I'll go back across town to the other gym pool with the mean swimmers. My swim buddy Barrie takes Saturdays off so I sent her a note telling her. She lives way closer to the gym so she said she might even drop by today to see if she can get some details. Assuming it's the same shit (pun intended) as last week, it will probably be open again on Monday.

It was 10 am before I got home. I thought about stopping for breakfast/brunch on the way but couldn't think of a place I really wanted to go to. I reviewed my own larder and came home and made a really, honestly, exceptional omelette.

Now have the day is gone and I haven't gotten a thing accomplished. I'm still drinking my morning coffee. Bitch/moan/bitch/moan. I'm really a princess this morning.

My phone is all reset and everything is working much better. Including the battery. Whew. It turned out to be less of an ordeal than I envisioned. I think I have phone resetting PTSD from the olden days.

My plan is, in the remaining hours, to make a couple of dolls, clean up the kitchen, find a new audio book to listen to and watch the Mariner game at 4. I think I can get all that done.

I got a note from Barrie. She called the gym and talked to the manager who told her that, yep, Friday night, someone shit in the pool again. They don't know who. I was at the gym on a Friday evening not long ago and it is packed but still, they do know who was there. You can't get in the door without flashing your id against the bar code reader. GRRRRRRRR Anyway the manager told Barrie that the pool will be back open mid-day Monday.

So I sewed. It must be USE THE CUTE CAT BEDS week. Today, Zoey snuggled into her corner cat bed that she hasn't touched in months. Again, I really need to clean the 4 inches of cat hair off those pillows! But, it does tickle me so when she sprawls in there to watch me sew.



I hit a fatal flaw in my phone reset operation. There is/was an app I used a dozen times a day to auto upload all my photos to Flickr. It's gone out of the Play Store so it is now, no longer on my phone. Or any of my devices. (If I had it installed on something I could make an APK out of it and then install it on my phone but.. no.) I dug out the author's twitter handle and sent him a "HELP ME. PLZ" tweet so maybe. And I found an old one that works sometimes. The Flickr app itself does this - auto uploads - BUT it sets everything to private so I have to go in and one, by one, make them all public so I can use them here and others can see them. Major PIA.

Maybe this other app will start working more better :). There's an ITTTT recipe that also works kinda so that's a maybe option. Sigh.

I think I'll watch one of the new shows before the baseball game starts.

3 + 3

1. The guy that wrote the app that I could not replace replied to my tweet and gave me a link to the APK! I'm back in biz!! Plus he said he's working on a new version. Whew.

2. I watched This is Us. I was captivated. Sustainability could go either way but I'm totally on board for finding out.

3. I truend on the oven broiler (which I rarely do) this morning to crisp up the top of my omelette. That was at 10 am. I just discovered - at 4:15 pm - that I never turned it off!

1. Thankgod that oven is so well insulated.
2. Thankgod it's not Summer
3. I'm really happy that I didn't burn down the building.
