Monday

I had the alarm set for 6:30 but I didn't know anything until 7.  My stuff was all ready so I brushed my teeth and sucked in my inhalers and suited up and hit the road.  It is amazing how much nicer the trip to the pool is at 7 than it is at 11.

I still managed to get in a good 45 minutes of laps and it was great.  Also not crowded. I had a lane to myself.  I kind of like sharing a lane and having another person to pace with.  Today, the person in the lane closest to mine was speedy fuckin' gonzoles.  She was doing two laps in the time I was taking to do one.  not at all good for pacing but amazing to watch.

I really am coming to love swimming laps more than I like the aqua aerobics classes.  I like the classes when the instructor is great but less than that, I'd rather be stretching out and doing my thing in the lap lane.  I used to think it would be so boring but instead I really get into the pace and the soft feeling of water across my body and the whole zen of it all.

Betty was not happy that I did not feed her before I left.  I do need to get up earlier and fix that.

I think today is haircut day.  Other than that, no big plans. I'm just glad to be out of holiday mode.
