Just a Wednesday

Today was a swim day and it was a good one. I'm getting into the groove. And am enjoying the every other day-ness. If I could swim every day, I would but I'm not sure I'd enjoy it as much.

As soon as the weather turned warm this year, I wondered/envied people with their own pools and wondered if anyone would let me come swim in theirs. Today I found swimply.com. Rent somebody's pool for an hour. Looks like most at $60 and very few are big enough to do laps and only one is available anywhere near Seattle and it's booked up. It's not a lap pool anyway. The website sucks and is slow as Christmas but the idea is solid.

My Citi credit card situation is still in flux online. I'm now missing three transactions. The electric bill I paid last week, the gas I got on Saturday and the ice cream I bought yesterday. At least I have confirmation that the big one - the electric bill, the company believes it has its money so my lights and, more importantly, my a/c will stay on. I wonder if I'll get the gas and ice cream for free. Probably not. None of the pending transactions have cleared BUT I did scrape them all off the website so I have the info and can track precisely. So, whew.

I finally called Costco today and my prescriptions are 'being filled' so even tho the app shows they were filled 2 day ago, apparently, the app is over anxious. I'm actually kind of glad to get this info because I had not gotten the 'ready for pickup' text I usually do and I was afraid their system was broken, but nope so yeah.

And an even bigger yeah! This was on Instagram this morning! These are the two owners of my favorite burger place... Burger on Friday! It's not clear if they are talking lunch or just dinner. I'm hoping for lunch but I'll make do if necessary.



I think today will be Swap Out The Old TiVo Drive For The New One day. Might as well do it. The baseball game isn't on til 7 so I have plenty of time of fuck it up.

Cheeseburger with bacon and mayo, please. I've got the glass and root beer already. Oh, and some fries.

yeah, i wondered if you were going to forget the fries... i'm ridiculously excited about this. i cannot believe they are really going to open in a pandemic.

Instead of renting private pool for 1hr why not rent a hotel room and you could have it all day.

[susandennis]

1. Most hotel pools are not nearly long enough for laps (need to be 20 yds minimum).
2. Most hotel pools are full of little kids.
3. Most hotel rooms (at least around here) are $200+.

90 minutes is my max for daily swim.

I never even thought about the idea of renting someone else's pool! What a great idea! But I think about what kinds of pools most people have and... yeah, probably not ideal for swimming laps.

I hope you get your gas and ice cream for free lol!
