The payoff

susandennisI finally got my workout from Alvin today. It's in kind of swimmer shorthand so even with big print, it fits on a card a little bigger than a business card. I want it on the edge of the pool so I can refer to it. Yeah, I could have slapped it into a baggie. But, I have 1. time and 2. office supplies and 3. a little ocd-ishness.
So I opened up my newly organized cupboard and found an old IBM punch card. I cut out the workouts - 2 or them- 1 front and 1 back. and 'laminated them onto the card with packing tape. Then the big find. I had not tossed out a little bag of convention lanyard, card holder things that I should have. I found that and dug out a clear plastic card holder. I slipped the laminated card into the holder. I found the hole punch (in the 'fastener' drawer with the stapler, staples, tape and paperclips - heaven!!!) and punched a hole in the top and fastened on a Mariners lanyard and I am totally good to go!!!
I can prop it up on the edge of the pool or hang it on my bag and dangle it over the edge - all kinds of options.
Hilarious because it's really simple and I'll have it memorized after a couple of times but I feel accomplished.
I also got the painting fix done and the cables all safely and tidily into their covers again. I just love having so much time that getting the little shit done is fun.
