What a lovely Sunday

[susandennis]

I just remembered that while I was swimming, I had the thought that I was sorry I hadn't taken an Alieve before going to the pool. Except ever since I got home, I don't need one. I left all the sore in the pool.

So now I'm jacked about going back tomorrow. I dug out my backup suit and cleaned out my swim bag and repacked it without the crap I do not need and with the hairbrush/comb. It's by the front door, waiting.

I got all the groceries put away and a meal list made. My new thing is to list all the meals that are in the fridge on the outside of the fridge so nothing gets forgotten. So far it's a system that's working well.

The Mariners beat Houston 3 out of 4 games in Houston which was major and a lovely high to end the first half on.

The outside is still teaming with activity. I can hear it in the background up here with the doors closed. I took the trash down a bit ago and oh wow. I peeked out the garage doors and saw nothing but sweaty people in queues wiht small children. I hustled back up here gratefully.

I admire people who swim. To me it sounds like such a chore, packing up - getting there - changing - showering - swimming - showering - packing up - getting home. But the people I know who do it really enjoy it.

I have a Chrome tab open to the Radio Exercise site you mentioned. I should try it tomorrow since you've liked it so much.

The idea of a meal list is great. What's on the list so far?

[susandennis]

I think your list is exactly why I have been too lazy to go for the past year or so. But, I have kind of streamlined the operation so that it's about half that much chore and, hopefully, that will keep me from lazing out.

I just took a shot of my meal list for you. Some items need to be heated, but most just need a fork.

That looks like a gourmet week ahead.

I love swimming sessions like that!

swimming does that for me, too! i wish i had better access to a pool. it always leaves me feeling so much calmer and more relaxed than when i started.

I am so lucky that my old age insurance pays for a membership in this gym that has a lovely little pool about 10 minutes from my house.

Seattle has a bunch of fabulous pools sprinkled around the city. I used to swim in all of them but then developed this issue with chlorine and now I can't swim in any of them. (the gym treats the pool with bromine which does not bother my lungs at all so whew)

[liveonthesun]

fascinating!! i hadn't heard of bromine pools before. my wife has really bad reactions to the chlorine in public pools. private chlorine pools are usually okay, but gym pools are the worst for her. i'll have to see if there are any bromine pools around us.

bromine only works on indoor pools - the sun kills it. a lot of hot tubs use it. we have two indoor bromine pools in Seattle - i hope you find one!

Swimming is great. :) If you like it, that is. I don't. I almost drowned when I was 8.
