Thursday

Not a lot of traffic at the pool today but I had a glorious swim. Faster and longer than any other day this week. Garmin will punish me by making my goal bigger so I need to lay low for the rest of the day - hehehehe

I am finally, I think, getting comfortable again with getting up so early. It took a few days of being really really sleepy during the day to get back in sync but I think I'm there. I slept really well last night for the first time in a week. And this morning was smooth. No extra ordinary breathing issues.

On the other hand, my mouth is not happy with the bromine. It really dries you out. As soon as I get into the car after a swim, I pop a stick of gum into my mouth. Chewing it helps but not enough. It's like I have chapped mouth. I'll get used to it, but it is annoying. If it's not one thing, it's another.

Not much on the agenda anyway. I have pants to sew and swim suits to sew and the usual stuff to keep me amused but nothing out of the ordinary.

Today's Informed Delivery says the only mail is a letter from Neilsen, the TV people. So that's probably not going to have the drama of yesterday's mail. Fine by me.

I'm testing out Hulu for a month. Probably it's going to end up being one of those on again/off again subscriptions. Between giving up on some shows and the Olympics, I'm running out of stuff to watch. I'm going to sign up for CBS All Active again when The Good Fight comes back for Season 2 but this time I'm probably going to hold off until all or most episodes have dropped and just do a month so that will be April or May.

Two weeks from tomorrow is the first broadcast of the first Spring Training game. Nice.

Let me know how you like Hulu, I have been contemplating getting it.

[susandennis]

So far it's just like any other streaming service. If they have what you want to see, great. If not, then not worth it.

nothing else special about it.

I'm continually amazed that with all the streaming options I have that I still run out of things I want to watch. My daughter has Hulu and she shares that with me and I have Netflix and I share that with her and we both have Amazon Prime.

[susandennis]

Same here. My theory, though, is that while in bygone days, I'd watch crap because that's all there was, now I won't watch crap. I'll try another streaming service instead. I have yet to go through them all so this plan has legs :)

My brother and I share netflix and hbo and now hulu (and ny times) - and, we also both have prime. sure seems like that should be enough.

I’ve been watching the good wife on Hulu (I never watched it before) and I’m almost done and it’s killing me! Is the good fight worth paying for cbs?

[susandennis]

Sadly, I have to say that it is.

I loved the Good Wife. But, honestly, I enjoyed The Good Fight even more. Totally worth paying for.

Good Wife trivia... for the entire run of that show, Alisia was wearing a wig. Her own hair is kinky curly and they wanted calm straight hair. So she wore a wig. I found out when I had seen about half the shows. It took me a full season to focus on more than her hair.

"Good Wife trivia... for the entire run of that show, Alisia was wearing a wig."

No fucking way! Her hair was HER!

I hadn't thought about it, but thinking back to what Julianna Margulies looked like in the early days of "ER", I'm not surprised.

[goddessdi.livejournal.com]

Now I’m going to be looking for it! I love the good wife but Diane is one of my favorites so I could see enjoying a show with more focus on her.

[susandennis]

haha! i generally have to watch my favorite British shows " through *ahem* other means" - sad that we can't cut a trade!!

Dry mouth - you don't keep a bottle of water on the front passenger seat (or in a cup holder if your dune buggy has one)? I can't chew gum, gets stuck in dentures, so I use Werther's hard caramel candy, sugar free but YMMV.

[susandennis]

I actually do keep water everywhere (have to in case of cough attack - I even have a small water bottle in my purse) - and chew the gum and suck the sugar free stuff... I had this before when I swam in that pool. At least now I know to take measures. The first time I didn't even realize what the problem. A swim buddy's dentist told her.
