I finally did join a gym today and I enjoyed my first workout. I'm going back in the morning. I will stick with this. I love that they have a pool and that I can actually work out without injuring my foot. I do need to work on my form, but I think that will come back in time. I may or may not buy a new suit, but I have to find the one that I got ( Read more... )

I have all of the pieces cut out, but nothing sewn. I guess I'll start working on that on Tuesday night.

I started to pin the pattern pieces for the mock up of the pair of pants that I'm going to make. I've never made pants before, so it makes some sense to practice on 2 dollar muslin before actually cutting on the much more expensive twill.

I decided that since the only thing that I can do is swim then I need to find a gym or a rec or a ymca or something with a pool and adult hours or whatever. This is me not giving up. My foot will get better and then I can bike or run or whatever. We shall see ( Read more... )

I was looking at a collection of quotes by Albert Einstein and I came across this one.

"Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal."

I'm tired. Game ran long last night. It was good as usual, but I'm dragging. Add to the fact that I need some winding down time when I get home and that means that I wasn't in bed until 12. Then I couldn't sleep right away.

It just means that I need to actually go home tonight and maybe (possibly?) go to bed early. We'll see.

I went out into the garden yesterday afternoon and expected to find the roses ready to bloom and mostly looking like this:

Jim and I did more yard work today. I took out something like twenty saplings within a very small space in the garden. That should give the roses more room to breathe and grow. I also finished de-sodding the spot in front where the tomatoes are now planted. I was given four more plants so I had to make room for them. They are a little wilted now, ( Read more... )
