Yesterday was Tuesday. Tuesdays are always the very busiest at the pool. More people than lane real estate. Yesterday, there was no one there but me. I swam and swam all by myself. It was so odd. Finally after about 55 minutes a guy came in and then another but that was it. 3 of us where here are often 8 or 9. ?????

Today, my friend, Karen was there with her husband and after, we were chatting and she told me that after I got there and was already in the pool, they ran out of towels. And the dryer was broken. So that's why no one was in the pool. Rarely do I get an answer to my pool questions. I was so lucky yesterday. At least now, you have to get your towels when you first come in (they used to just stack them up in the locker room) so if they don't have any, you find out before you get naked and wet. I keep a spare in the car. I need to check and make sure it's still there. I meant to do that when I got into the car and forgot.

I'm going out again at 10. I'll do it then. I need to take an Amazon return to the return space which is also the same place you pick up Amazon Fresh orders so I placed an Amazon Fresh order. Yep. I'm totally and happily Amazon's bitch.

I love my Garmin watch. Well, I love the way it works. I hate wearing it. It's the easiest tracker to use, especially for swimming, and tracks the most things. I hate the size of it. It feels like I'm wearing a dinner plate on my wrist. Or at least a salad plate. And the band size is all wrong for the watch size. I've tried different bands and never been happy with any. Until now. I got a nylon loop band and I love ot. It's swims just fine, is comfortable always, can be adjusted by tiny increments and comes in fun colors. I don't love the watch more but I do hate wearing it less. And I still love all the data.

Today is Instant Pot Pasta day. I hate boiling pasta. I hate the mess I hate the condensation. I love pasta but rarely have it because it's a mess. But... instant pot pasta? Maybe not so much a mess. We shall see. The internets reveal that the subject is not a benign one. There are a whole lotta very strong opinions about instant pot pasta. Today, there will be one more. Stay tuned.

The baseball game is on at 11 but the TV broadcast is one of those stupid Facebook Only games. So... radio it is. I think I'll listen while I sew. I'm going to piece together some knit scraps I have. I'm not sure what I'll make with the result but I'll figure that out when they are all pieced.

I'm so glad I read this post. I forgot to check the game schedule before I went to work. Clearly my coworker is oblivious too since he usually has the stereo on KIXI on game days until it's time. This means that while I fill my eclairs today I can secretly listen to the game without his commentary.... I don't know, I'll probably spill the beans if they're doing well :b

I have never tried pasta in the instant pot, but I read the FB posts about it with interest. Seems like it is either a huge success or a huge disaster. I'll be curious about your results. Maybe I'll try it after I am done with my doctor visit and labs next week. I have to be good until then.

Those Facebook only games usually let me watch for 15min or so then they say “Wanna watch the rest sign up free with your credit card, Yeah right 🤔😂😂😂

My favorite band for my Apple Watch is like that - and it's orange!

I just ordered an orange one... and a green one... and a blue one!
