I still got it

A week or so ago, a really hunky young guy in the pool asked me about my swimming - how often, how long, etc and complemented me on my dedication to it. It gave me an 'I'm soooo cool' glow for days. Well, check it out. The glow is back. Today, after I was showered and dressed in street clothes and on my way out, I passed him doing floor exercises and he stopped me to ask more and tell me 'Way to go!'. The guy clearly has a thing for me. And I'm totally fine with that.

No sun out yet this morning so it's lovely and cool. And it looks like all the mornings this week will be that way. So nice.

Today is my last day of prednisone. Last night I slept badly like they warn you prednisone will cause but it never has with me. And this morning my cough was back a little. I think I'm ready to be off drugs now. I still have a few more days of antibiotics. My worry is that once all the drugs are done, my lungs will be unhappy and we'll start down the old COPD rabbit hole again. But, borrowing trouble... yadda yadda.

Today is Mariner blouse day. I'm trying some new things on woven fabric (which I rarely use for making clothes). My plan is to take it slow and easy and do a lot of finishing work. I have lots of podcasts stacked up to listen to/watch while I work so the only issue will be keeping it cool back there in the land of no air!

My new swim suit fabric is due to be delivered today.Thank you father's day sale at Spandex World.

Oh and I want to trot up to the little national park (Klondike Gold Rush) today and buy a senior pass. It is very likely I will never use it but, old people can still get a $10 pass to all national parks that's good for life. The price is suspected to go up to $80 by the end of the year. So I figure, it's worth $10 just in case. Plus, supporting old peops, you know. And I need a walk today.

Great idea regarding the senior pass. Last year when I went to Yellowstone with a large group of friends, one person was able to get the senior pass so we all got a discount into the park.

Yes, I have to look into this for my mother -- had no idea!

The senior pass sounds like a real bargain

I have one of those passes. In addition to being a great deal, they're kind of pretty (at least the one I have is). I hardly ever use it, which is a shame.

It is not only pretty, they gave me a rear view mirror hanger for it that is also attractive. I may just keep it hanging in the car because it looks cool!
