The increasingly dark mornings here are perfect for laser beams and both my cats love the early morning workout with their Bolt laser toy. But it's hard to see the red dot in the bright sunny mornings of summer so Betty just ignores it mostly then and I think Travis is lulled by the noise.

Travis was bugging me this morning while I was trying to read LJ so I turned it on and he immediately hopped down to catch the red dot. Then Betty came out of where ever she was to help and they have both now been at it for 10 minutes.

And I have had my keyboard to myself!

It looks like there will be no work for me today. And maybe no more until next week. I ended up with nearly a full day yesterday, though, so at least there will be something in the paycheck.

Today's project includes organizing some music and adding it to my car thumb drive. And fixing the teddy bear knitting pattern. I got the fish all fixed yesterday. The kitchen needs some cleaning and the fridge needs some organization and there's my swim class at noon.

Today's class is another shallow end class. The first one was ok but my knees really hurt during and a little bit after. The shallow end has a more shallow part and a less shallow part, I think I'll stick to less shallow today and see if that helps.

If it still hurts, I'm going to have to find a plan B. A class at another pool or just doing my thing at this pool. The problem with doing my own thing is that I'm not sure I could keep it up for an hour or 45 minutes - I'm afraid that boredom and/or lazy would pull me out without someone giving me direction. Oh and the classes have music with a nice beat. Swimming in silence might also be a challenge.

Oh and I need to pop by the post office today. My brother's oldest just had a second baby girl last night. She needs a bear.

I just got an email from my gym, They strongly encourage taking it slowly with any new exercise. Muscles get torn when you work out, it takes 48 hours for the body to fix that. That's the process of getting stronger. But it takes time. It may be counter-intuitive, but you should probably be doing the pool 3 times a week to start.

So...listen to your body.

Also, make sure you get enough calcium. Every time you move a muscle, calcium is used in the chemical reaction.

Work is slow for me as well. It's good and bad, but I'm not ready for retirement quite yet.

I think I may need to trade in my cats. I have given Bolts as gifts to three people, and their cats are all over the place hunting the wily light spot. Mine go up to the device, swat it down, and go back to what it was they were doing before the annoying machine started up.
