slow going

It's a good thing I only get a cold every 5 years or so because I really am not good at it. It's also a good thing that this one seems to be a very small cold that will, hopefully, disappear soon. But, meanwhile it's whalloped me. I did manage to get my swim in. And now that I'm tracking pace, I know it was the slowest swim ever. But, it was good anyway.

Then I came home, had a breakfast burrito and coffee and went back to bed and slept for an hour. And I was so cold when I got up that I switched to a long sleeved tshirt and may put on a sweater. I thought that was my besieged body until I looked at the thermometer. It's not even 60 outside yet and only 67 in here! Thank you, Seattle. I so appreciate your fabulously clement weather.

Mr. Ebay Scammer refunded my money!! All of it! With no return of his piece of shit fake product. And then, sent me an email asking what would it take for me to improve my rating of the sale. I had a list of things but I just deleted the email rather than entertain myself.

I'm off to the library. I have a book on hold that needs to be picked up.

Another day, another goal

The old tracker converted my swimming into steps. And then added actual steps for a total. It is far easier and more fun for me to swim than to walk so if I needed more steps, I just swam more.

The new tracker does no such converting and I can no longer side step my steps (hahaha see what I did there???). This afternoon I was close to goal. I needed to go to the T-Mobile store. Drive to the one in the Central District and maybe/maybe not do other errands? Or walk to the one up on 5th. The tracker made me walk. It was good. Well, not that good. Turns out my phone - a 4,000 year old flip phone - is no longer compatible with their systems. Sigh. The kids running the shop kept asking me how old it was I wanted to tell them it was older than all of them but that sounded like such an old lady thing, I passed.

I came home and ordered an old Kyocera candy bar phone for $15 on Amazon. Backup phone plan executed.

My cold is, so far, a very very mild one. AND only in my head and a little in my throat. But, I think I dodged a bullet.

I have a giant pot of spaghetti sauce simmering on the stove. I have a bunch of pasta doen and I'll marry the two. Any left over sauce will get frozen and then the leftover pasta with sauce will get frozen, too. My freezer will be happy. And dinner tonight will be delicious.

No sewing today but I'll probably get back to it tomorrow. I have some stuff cut out and ready to assemble. The baseball game is at 5. I'll be ready.
