Hippo Birdies, Cindy!!

Things I've Learned Today: When getting to the pool 15 minutes before they open on a Sunday morning, do not then go to the bathroom right before they let you leave the locker room for the pool, because then you'll have to wait 30 minutes before one of the nine people in the four-laned lap pool leaves. What the hell are nine people (actually, ten--one gave up on the wait) doing at the pool at eight damn o'clock on a Sunday morning?!? At least I was smart enough to have a book in my purse, which I went back to get (as well as my glasses) while I waited.

Good thing is that, even though the schedule said that lessons would be starting at 9:00, they actually didn't start until 10, so I was still able to get in 20 laps and 7 minutes of kicking, just like I did on Thursday. I was too tired to improve on that goal, but at least I matched it. The new goggles were a great purchase, since I was able to get my head down while doing the crawl and take four strokes before taking a breath in a manner somewhat close to classic crawl technique. My kicking still sucks, but it always has (it was the despair of my swimming teacher when I was eight).

Then, just as I was going up the steps to leave the pool, I heard "Kathy?" from behind me--one of the two older ladies whom I saw get in the pool after the crowd left at 9:00 was a co-worker! She didn't recognize me while I was swimming, and I couldn't see her face well enough without my glasses to see her features at all. I went over to chat with her and her friend for about 10 minutes before I finally headed over to shower and dress.

Now I'vve eaten breakfast and will get some cleaning done.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Randomly, I got a $13 check in the mail yesterday from some CD antitrust litigation. Apparently they tried to mail it to me in 2004, but had the wrong address (I did move in 2004), and finally did some more research, and came up with my parents' address, and my dad forwarded it to me! I'm thinking more than $13 was spent in getting this to me at this point.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hmmm, it's been rather quiet in here...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I feel this way about how my university always tracks me down. I hope other people are giving big, because skip tracers could take a lesson from their (and I assume other alma maters) rigourousness. They don't seem to skip a beat, and I've never given them my address, that I can recall.

Happy Birthday Cindy!

It's true that my alma mater, both high school and college, do a good job of keeping tabs on me.

Totally.

Although, if you're good about doing address forwarding at the post office, it's not a huge deal for the mailer to do "address service requested" and get all those notices.

I moved to another country! And I never forwarded my mail from Michigan to New Orleans, or from New Orleans back to Michigan.

Alpen and Uncle Sam:

So the thing with the staying out late and subbing for a class at 9:30? Not well-considered. The thing where H says you haven't been drinking that much so you finish every drink on the table except the one of the woman that can take you? There are more useful points to make.

Still, level 2 will get all I've got. And then level 1. And then level 3. And then kettlebell?

OK, that's impressive.

The cat is currently sprawled out on the end table next to me, after leaving her hair all over the keyboard. How does she do that? It wasn't like she was rubbing her body on the keys--she just walked over it and shedded directly on it.
