susandennisMy wonderful music player that I use while I swim died today. It may be only critically ill but it's not working and won't charge up. So, sigh. I have my old iPod Shuffles that I can use so I won't be swimming tuneless. But the Shuffles don't do Spotify and require that I use iTunes which I hate so so so very much.
The maker of the broken music player will fix or replace. I'm not worried long term. Also, serendipitously, another swim music player is nearly on its way (label created not yet actually at the post office). I bought both of these - the broken one and the almost here one via Kickstarter. I was not sure I'd ever get either. Both let me use Spotify so Yeah! One way or the other or the other or the other, I won't be swimming in silence.
My rule is that I can skip the early morning swim the morning after a Mariners night game but last night's game was so fast that I was home by 10 so skipping seemed silly. To everyone, apparently. The pool was packed. My friend Karen, and her husband came in just as it was filling up. They asked if we could circle swim in my lane and I said ure. They are way faster than I am so I had to kick on the afterburners. It was good for me and kind of fun and it was only for about 20 minutes.
My brother's new hip is operational! I got a text that he had walked around a fair bit this morning. He said the pain wasn't too bad - more like a bruise. He's expecting to go home tomorrow. Amazing.
Nothing big going on around here today but it is way cooler out today so I need to hit the street. If only for a long (longer than just around the block) walk. I might just hop on a bus and ride uptown and then walk back. Maybe. Stay tuned for the report.
Also the Mariners won gloriously last night against the best team in baseball. It was a very satisfying game. Oh and the fun young woman from the casino who sat next to me last year was back last night. Fun to catch up.

A new hip. Amazing, huh.
