Swim Gear, Appointments and Which Shirt?

It's back to the swimming pool today, We've got a bit less than two weeks before the outdoor pool opens and the indoor pool closes. The indoor pool will be open if it's thundering/lightning outside, but other than that, it'll be swimming outdoors until Labor Day (early September for those not living in the USA). I'm still working on an efficient routine for my swim gloves, but I do like them and they're making a HUGE difference in my skin. I have old hot spots on my hands that would split open every week because of the drying effect of the pool chemicals. Since I started wearing my swim gloves, my hands have been healing and they're in great shape now. It might be a bit more fussy to get on and off, but it's worth it. 

I purchased a set of swim gloves a while 
back to help protect my hands from the 
pool chemicals. They're doing a terrific 
job and I'm very pleased with them. 
I can't use my hand paddles with them - 
the fingers are too large for the paddles, 
but they work pretty well as a paddle 
on their own, and I haven't had cracked 
skin from the chlorine since I started 
wearing them. Total WIN. 

I have an appointment on Wednesday with my treadmill repair guy. He'll be replacing a side rail cable, and he'll also lube the belt (and teach me how to do that). The treadmill is requesting "Lube Me, Lube Me" and (1) I'm not finding the tiny bottle of silicone lube I was given with the equipment, and (2) I'm a little leary about loosening the belt for the lube and then re-tightening it properly once again. Having Jake show me exactly what to do and how will be a great help. 

I love my treadmill, and DH is using it too (although his back 
isn't liking it at all). There's one part that needs replacement, 
another that I'd like to have replaced, and I need instruction 
and guidance for lubricating the tread since it's telling me 
I need to do that. 

I don't get my Friday off this week, so it will be a more hectic Wednesday than usual because I'll have to get everything done within one day. I'm sure I'll manage, but I'm already trying to schedule things in my head so that I can accomplish everything I'll need to on my single "day off"this week. 

Losing my nephew Michael has left a definite hole in 
our family. I know he'd approve of either Doors 
shirt I might choose, but I'm just not sure. I'll launder 
both of them tomorrow, then ask DH's opinion. And 
maybe I'll actually wear his choice - LOL. 

The "Celebration of Life" for my nephew Michael will be held on Saturday the 24th, so I have almost two weeks before the gathering. In accordance with requests, we'll be wearing Rock 'N Roll shirts to the event. I'm not sure what shirt DH will choose, but I have two Doors shirts that I'm deciding between. I love both of them, so either one might win this time. 

This shirt may be the winner for the memorial. I'll be 
washing both shirts this week, then trying them on to 
decide. This one is four pics of Jim Morrison, the other 
has one pic of each of the guys. They each have their 
reasons for being chosen. I might just end up flipping a coin. 

But ... it's swimming for me today, and that's always a good thing. Armed against the chlorine in every way I possibly can be, I'm ready to swim my laps and have a great workout. The outdoor pool will be open within two weeks and that's a WHOLE different style of workout. I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday and I'll be back tomorrow for a very busy Wednesday. Slava Ukraini.
