Photos Aren't Working for my Computer Today - Sorry - Text Only

I awakened early. Now, for me early is 2:30 am on a day when my alarm was set for 3:00 am. For most of you, those times are ridiculous. LOL But ... I awakened early which is giving me a bit of time to get this posted before heading over to the pool. We're approaching the end of the outdoor pool season, and I'll truly miss it. We've actually had excellent weather this year (so far ... Mother Nature could always give us a cloudy, rainy morning before Labor Day). The pool hasn't been overcrowded except for one day, and I love having that extra length. But, I like the indoor pool too. I suppose that's lucky since I'm in that pool for nine months out of the year. 

Yesterday's swim was a bit of a slog, though. I don't like being captured by my own thoughts while swimming. I don't count laps, I don't work on cadence. I prefer to listen to my latest audio book while swimming. It makes the laps go by easily for me. But yesterday, my headphones (which I thought I had recharged over the weekend) actually were very low on power, and more than half of my laps were silent. ARGH. That was total stupidity on my part. I had them plugged in to charge, but didn't have the computer turned on. Duh! They can't recharge without power. 

Today I'm back up and running after allowing them to upcharge overnight. I can lose myself in the story instead of in my strokes. I'll be much happier. I'm no speed demon in the water, but I can fall into a story and run on automatic mode for my 45 minutes. It's all good. 

DH bought a pork roast for Sunday (just in case we don't go to Ren Fest). I wasn't actually planning to go to Ren anyway, we had originally agreed to only attend three times this year and I'm totally fine with that. I'll leave things up to him. The pork roast is one of our favorite meals, so either way I'll be completely happy. 

So, I'm off to the pool. I hope you all have an excellent Wednesday. I'll be doing my usual laundry, and a LOT of housecleaning today. I have three days available to clean before Sharon arrives, and I don't need pristine, but a good dusting and vacuuming is necessary, and the bathrooms need a solid scrub. I'll be back tomorrow.
