I am old and out of shape and fat. And I skipped all those 'build up your core' situations my entire life and now, my core is no longer available for use. I just spent an hour and a half cutting out fabric on my kitchen counter. My core lasted an hour. Owwwww I just don't have it any more. It's even worse when I work on lower surfaces like folding laundry on the bed. Ugh.

I know, I know, I know. I should work on it. Build it up as best I can. But, I won't. I'll just come here and bitch about it.

I took my car load to Goodwill. They were having a sale and the parking lot was packed. But the car is empty and I can now start my next Goodwill collection.

I discovered today that the network that broadcasts the Mariner games on TV has posted the schedule of which Spring Training games they will be broadcasting. The first one is on Sunday, February 23. I made a note today on the calendar to remember to upgrade my cable TV package before then.

I did the now annual Hunt For A Better/Cheaper way to watch the Mariner games on TV. The options available to me really suck. So I'll stick with the plan again this year and hope for better. I dread the cable bills.

I cut out the pieces for the cat tunic today - see aching back above. I decided for the long sleeved version, I would make it blue with the front out of the cat fabric. That will leave me enough of the expensive fabric to make an all (or most) cat short sleeved version.

I got an email the other day telling me my web cams were online. Since I put them there, it was not that much of a shock. The person said "I want to know more." Because I was feeling chatty, I responded asking what they more they wanted to know. "are those cameras really active?" well, er, yes. We had a few more exchanges like this. The person never revealing any info about his or herself and/or why they were entitled to my answers or even why they wanted to know. I kept my answers short.

Today I got an email from the same person with 'a little feedback for you'. Turns out I am mean and rude and a fucking dumbass and a dipfuck.

The good news is that my compensation is not performance based so this evaluation really does not mean much. Maybe the evaluator got some satisfaction from telling me off. I sure hope so. I'd like to think I'm a giver.

Now I'm going to be a knitter.

Oh - kitty pic.

The Smalls on top of the fabric of The Smalls and Biggie and Stickie. Biggie tried to get in on the action but got distracted.

The exchange about the webcams....what?!? Aren't webcams supposed to be online? How did they find yours? I'm genuinely confused. Well, not at their anger over you not giving them what they wanted, whatever that was.

I was kind of expecting this to turn into another one of those “Don’t you know how dangerous it is leaving your webcams public, etc.?” things. Maybe being a dipfuck (which I guess is a degree or two worse than a dipshit) is better?

Did you turn to the webcams, smile and give your best and most personalized double middle fingers? Because that seems the best answer to that kind of dipshittery. Yikes.

WTH is a dipfuck? That's a new one.
I like your cams because your space is so colorful, and I like to figure out which one is delayed (seems to be the one mounted over the kitchen). But yeah, I'd probably have responded to him with a nice double bird.

Nasty person who left feedback

The nasty person is just plain jealous of you and your achievements. That's it! :-) Jealousy is the highest form of flattery.... :-)

I would have thought swimming would work your core but I have no clue really

Wow, that sense of entitlement! Giving them a finger or two would have been too good for them.

I've been doing core strength exercises in the pool. Maybe since you're in the pool anyway...? :)

I based my routine off this video but I've done some adding and subtracting:

https://youtu.be/GjHMoj3HT8I

My adding was accidental because I remembered the knee curls wrong, but I like what I accidentally made up so I kept them. So, the stuff in this video minus the stair stepping, plus:

- arms on the poolside wall bringing my knees straight up
- same but bringing my knees up the left side and right side

Those two are similar to exercises you might see serious gymnasts do when hanging from rings, but I can do them because they're in the water.

Enjoy! Core strength stuff outside the pool is super hard but in it, totally doable.
