Drugs

I was swimming like a champ this morning. Just cutting that water like butter. And then I remembered I'm taking steroids! And, yep, performance enhancing! Usually, I do 100 yards in 3 minutes and 30/40 seconds. Yesterday I did it in 3 minutes 14 seconds. This morning it was 3 minutes and 11 seconds! Oh yeah. Let me put another notch in the old Prednisone belt. This stuff rocks!

Also I realized this morning that for the last two days, I've totally forgotten to take my second antibiotic pill of the day. Maybe even for the last 3 days. Fear of pregnancy taught me rigid adherence to any and all drug rules. I can't believe I fucked this up. At least the chances of my being pregnant are really really really low.

I went back to the new breakfast place today and it's still so nice. Arthurs Breakfast To Bar There are at least 3 more breakfasts I need to try so I'll be going back next Saturday. And the next and the next. At least.

Oh a note on the Perfect Size for 1 cake mixes. Last night I did the banana muffin one and this time topped it with just a little whipped cream cheese. FAVORITE.

Today there will be sewing I think. Unless it gets too hot back there. There's a new cafe/bakery/coffee shop that opened just up the block. They are having a soft opening this weekend so I need to pop in there this afternoon and say 'hi' and check 'em out. Otherwise, I'm staying intimately close to this air conditioner.

Spend-itis

All of a sudden I'm on a spending spree. Nothing big - well, one thing - but lots of little shit from Amazon and Walmart and even Michaels. I need to put the brakes on here. The one big thing is the new Amazon Show that I ordered a while back but is supposed to arrive on Wednesday.

One thing I just bought was another year of Audible. They are running a special for new customers. Their $150 a year for 12 books total is now $99 for new customers. My account was due to reup on August so I just went to their site and fired up a chat and asked if I should cancel and rejoin to get the lower price or if that was even allowed. The customer service rep said heck no, if I wanted, she'd just renew me at the lower price right now. And she did. Sweet.

I had a big fight with my latest swim suit this afternoon. The new trick I tried didn't work too well and the recovery almost didn't work at all and it was getting hot back there. But, I finally pulled it out of the bag.

Then I walked down the street to the new cafe which is really just a very beautiful coffee shop - at least so far. But, it was nice and I welcomed them to the neighborhood and they were gracious.

I came home and cut out a new top to assemble sometime next week and then made dinner - sausage and mac and cheese and a chopped salad. Pretty excellent actually. Now I'm knitting - I think I'm going to finish this sweater this weekend. This, of course, being the first weekend since last September that no sweater is needed anywhere near here.

And, of course, watch the baseball game. It is really nice not to feel like crap. Really nice.
