My own worst enemy...

The pool was full today - we have 3 lanes and today there were 2 in each lane for a while.  Traditon dictates that when lanes double up, you split the lane. If/when 3 swimmers for one lane, you swim in a circle. I much much prefer circle swimming but I am the only one on the planet. Everyone else thinks it's such a burden. Today the 6th person to get in the pool only lasted about 4 laps and by the time I got out, there was only one swimmer left.

While I was swimming, I designed yet another bag. This one will have a soft outside pocket for my phone.

I left the pool and headed right to Goodwill. My goal was to make the donation before I was tempted to keep some of the clothes.

But... then... before I could get out of the parking lot, I saw the sign that said 20% senior discount day. Sigh. So I went in. I found some pillow cases - $.99 and lots of fabric.

As I was leaving, I spied a beautiful green coat. With hood. Zipin/zipout lining. Georgous green. Really. A little too big for me but not much. $10 with the old people discount. So. I bought it. At least one more coat and maybe two will now go into the Goodwill pile. I just just rent my stuff from them which is about what I do.

I remembered to swing by the library and the grocery store.  Candy corn! FRESH! I laid in my first for the season.

Now I'm home and interested in getting going on my new bag but, I have a bear that needs to be finished for this month's delivery. So bear first. Then probably some sewing.

That's one thing that I really miss while being awake while the world sleeps. I really, really hate shopping, but occasionally will feel like swinging by a place like Goodwill and just perusing. Granted, I could probably stay up so that I could go in when they open, but I'm usually getting too sleepy to venture out and do actual things. I could wake up early, I suppose, but then I'd hit the evening crowds, and .. just no.

Hrm, mayhaps I could start trying to take a nap at like 4 am or something.
