Get off my lawn...

Nice swim this morning. I did lose a pair of goggles. I took them off yesterday and put them in my zippered mesh bag where I keep my water bottle, my dark goggles, my spare earbuds... But, somehow overnight they got out and ran away. Really weird. Thankfully, I my dark ones so I could swim comfortably.

I'm sure I have a spare pair. I just have to remember to dig them out and put them with my suit for tomorrow.

Today I think I'm going sew up the top I cut out last week. I'm no longer enthusiastic about the project but I need to do it or toss it. And today's the day.

I don't have anything else on the agenda for today or really tomorrow. This gives me such a feeling of freedom and possibilities.

I just lost an hour between the last paragraph and this one.

Old age has brought with it nearly equal parts of calm understanding and crabby intolerance. I used to think animated gifs were fun and often useful and now I think they are incredibly annoying. I have gotten so that I just remove people from my feeds who use them in ways that prevent me from seeing content peacefully. I just dropped 6 people in a row from my twitter feed and 2 from Google Plus.

The sewing machine is calling me.

I'm way ahead of you -- I've always hated them.

I'm wondering if there is some extension I can get to freeze them on chrome. Gifs belong on tumblr. I don't mind the occasional one to start a post. I've done that a few times but I think people can scroll past that ok but there are some people I know that will space out paragraphs with gifs and have random little dancing things and bright lights and ARRRGH. It makes me not bother trying to find the information. If we interact on my journal it helps me to try with the friendship but yeah if I want to see lots of gifs with a little information I will go on tumblr.
