Back to the Water

It's a Tuesday, and the first of my three days of swimming instead of the treadmill. I don't think I'd be super happy with either activity being a six-day-a-week requirement, but three days and three days works really well for me. I don't get bored. Of course, I never truly get bored. I listen to Sirius radio's "Turbo" while on the treadmill (good music is always a help when doing boring things) and I listen to my latest audio book while doing my laps in the pool. I don't particularly like repetitive actions, and exercise is exactly that. So, I make it work for me by joining it with audio. 

I was quite disappointed to discover that Target no longer 
carried the Skull Candy brand of earbuds. I've used them for 
years and they're dependable and inexpensive. I bought 
the brand they're currently carrying, but I also ordered a set 
of Skull Candy buds from Amazon since I had a cart in progress. 

I did buy a new set of headphones yesterday at Target. Unfortunately they no longer carry the Skull Candy brand, but I got what they had that was inexpensive and added a set of Skull Candy to my current Amazon shopping cart. I'll be ready when this set of earbuds dies - I'll have one set in reserve. There's nothing much more boring than being on the treadmill without tunes. LOL Swimming without an audio book is like crickets - I have no patience for it. 

Calendula cream was recommended by my Radiologist 
when I was undergoing cancer treatments. I've found 
that it works super well on anything requiring a bit of 
first aid, and my hands which react very poorly to 
the chlorine in the swimming pool are much happier 
when I regularly put the cream on. So, I ordered some 
more because I'm running low. 

I've found that my Calendula Cream which I was given to assist with any burns from the radiation treatment works splendidly on my chlorine-based skin issues. I refuse to give up my swimming - it's an essential part of my weekly exercise regime. But I'm very sensitive to chlorine, and my right hand has two areas where the skin dries up and breaks open if I don't keep things moisturized. Standard hand lotions or creams don't work to heal, but my Calendula cream has been working very well indeed, and I'll keep on using it for as long as necessary. So I guess there were some good things to come out of my cancer treatments, the discovery of Calendula cream being a major benefit. 

Byerly's always has excellent sushi available. It's made 
fresh daily and they sell a lot of it. On their Wednesdays, 
when they have $3 off all sushi, they bring in two extra 
workers to make the sushi - they go through that much! 
It's always fresh, though, and I always enjoy it as a 
treat. 

DH and I treated ourselves to sushi for dinner last night. Although they didn't have the hot honey version I was hoping they would have, they still had a nice variety of rolls to choose between. We both ended up with very delicious rolls for a nice meal. I generally eat sushi fairly often - usually at least once a week, sometimes more. I've been known to pop back to the store in the afternoon just to check if my hot honey version has been made and is available for purchase. Yes, I like it that much. Of course, since the store is only a mile from my house, it's not a major trip either - LOL. 

I was hoping they had their newest roll available when I 
got there after work last night. The Mike's Hot Honey roll is 
awesome and so VERY tasty. They didn't have any left, 
but I still found a nice dinner in the choices that they had. 

I'm off to the pool. Have an excellent Tuesday and I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
