Another tune lovin' swim. Today was lots of Judy Collins. There's a guy who's been coming in about 5-10 minutes before I finish. There is a person in each lane. He pulls up a chair and waits. This week, when he sits in his chair, I started waving him over and telling him to 'please come share my lane' and he does. Eagerly. Every time. So weird that he needs an invite. But, whatever floats your boat - boat, pool, water, ha!

I am meeting my friend, Barrie for breakfast at 9:30. I have to go right by the pool to get to the restaurant. I toyed with the idea of going in to swim at 8 instead of 5 but the idea of maybe the pool being crowded or worse, no room for me or having to wait or just being out of my routine was just more than my little rut loving brain wanted to handle.

Besides I also love the hours I while away when I come home and the day has yet to even start and I can internet away with my coffee. So... I'm doubly enjoying that now with a good hour+ before I leave.

While I was swimming, I conjured up a new storage scheme for the sewing room. I need to measure for and order up new shelves but I think I have a new plan.

And, speaking of new plan, Capital One has a new website. It more closely resembles their mobile app which makes sense. I do appreciate that it came as a complete surprise. No month of pop ups telling me about it and promising my life will have new meaning after I see this change 'coming soon'. I appreciate Capital One. I like the simplicity of dealing with them and the ease with which I can get all the banking info and services I need with zero hassle. At least so far and that's been a few years now.

I joined my four mandala squares and think I'm going to use them as a top for my big ottoman. At least for now. I need to block them into shape. I really do love doing them and watching them grow - way more than having the finished product. But, it does not appear as if this is unusual. I hit on a website yesterday that started off with "wondering what to do with all those beautiful mandalas that have come off your crochet hook?" And then it went on to give a boatload of suggestions, none of which appealed to me one single bit. They were all either impractical or not what I wanted. It is odd that the shape/pattern is so compelling.

I have the blinds all the way down to ensure the sun doesn't fry the living room this morning. But the door is open (blind covering it) and out of the corner of my eye I saw Zoey over by the door. Figuring she wanted to go out on the terrace, I went to my phone app and raised that one blind a little only to see that she was already out there. Guess she figured out how to move that silly blind out of the way.

It's supposed to get hot today but then get back to reasonable. I'm ok with that. I did pull out my sandals this morning and OMG are they ever used. Two whole summers of every day wear = way used look and not in a good way. I fell in love with them so quickly when I first bought them, that I bought another pair for backup and good thing because, of course, they are no longer made. But, at least I have a very nearly new pair and so at least two more good Summers. And maybe that's all I will ever need!

Ok, time to get dressed and get going.

Billi has a favorite pair of summer sandals that she thought she had worn out and gotten rid of. At the end of last season, she bought herself a new pair of the exact same ones and put them away in the closet for safe keeping until summer... only to discover that her old sandals were not worn out and had been hiding in that closet! So, now she has her original pair to officially wear out, and then a backup pair for when she really does need them.

Speaking of pool lanes . . . We're getting a new Y in the next town with a pool! Before this, the nearest pool was 22 miles away. Ours will have six lanes and be 75 feet long! It might be done before the year is over. Very excited :)
