Stuck

[susandennis]

I'm here at home. I want a manicure. There are several places open and ready for me. I have a ticket to the Mariner FanFest going on right now just down the street. I need to put groceries away, particularly the refrigerated ones. And I'm chilly and could use a sweater.

But, do I move my giant ass? Nope. I do not. I can't figure out what I want to do. It's ridiculous.

The fan fest is just a little more than I want to talk. I could take my mobility scooter but I do want to walk some. I could get a manicure tomorrow after my swim. I need to hang up my wet swim suit.

It is already 11:30! Geesh.

It is that time of year when the pool crowd thins out. First people get all enamored with the outside at the first hint of warm. Then the dedicated swimmers find pools outside. I'm not big on outside swimming (or really outside anything) but most swimmers love it. Today I was the only one in the pool until the woman who runs laps in it came in. She literally runs in the pool for an hour. She's amazing. She told me today that she had been a runner for years and years until an injury forced her to give up ground running so now she pool runs. She does a mile at a time. Wild. No one else showed up the entire time. Just the two of us.

Ok. I think I'm going to put the groceries away, hang up my swim suit and then maybe go get a manicure. Or not.

That's very interesting about the pool runner.  I imagine it as very slow motion looking....is that correct? Easier on her joints, I guess?

[susandennis]

She runs pretty fast and with a whole lot of energy. She wears shoes so gets good traction. It's impressive. And, yes, way easier on joints.

Ha, I noticed that there's never anyone in the pool during your daily pool selfie, nor are there often any waves.

That's because I am the first one in the door when the gym opens every day (5 am weekdays, 7am weekends - thus the diff between daylight and nightlight shots). Even when it's packed (which is seldom) the others get there after me even if by minutes. I'm always the first one in.

To me, having a huge pool almost entirely to one's self is incredible luxury. I used to swim laps when I lived in London, but slower than others and was really made to feel I was horribly in the way so I stopped.

I totally get that. There is a way much nicer pool I could go to for free but it's always packed and with mean swimmers. I'm glad to have my not-as-great pool where if there are people, they are nice.
