Just got back from my first swim in 18 months! I made a huuuuge mistake--when I had done about 20 laps, I took another break and then debated whether I should just stop there or continue. Since I wasn't all that tired, I decided to push through to the 33rd lap and get the full mile in. Then I had to get out of the pool. Oh.My.God, I felt like lead. I could barely make it to the locker room and debated again if I should shower there or wait until I got home. I finally got the energy to shower there, but it took me forever to get dried and dressed afterwards.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I want to eat nachos. I'm not even hungry! But yet, I have a taste in my mouth for nachos. Hmmm.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
darn you, Jesse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Every time I've thought of eating so far today I've gotten the hiccoughs. It's very dispiriting.

You swam a mile, Kathy? Day-um, I haven't done that since college. You'll probably feel it tomorrow, but still—congats!

That would be offputting, ita.
I just took a nap by mistake. It wasn't a very good one though, and now I am very foggy brained.

Now my problem is that delivery nachos probably won't be very good, but I don't really feel like going to the store. Maybe tomorrow.

I'm feeling it now! It took me almost 85 minutes to do it, but I finished. When I was swimming on a regular basis two years ago, I worked my way up to the mile, and then whittled my time down to just over an hour. If I get the energy to go again tomorrow, I think I'll keep it at 20 laps so I don't get so exhausted afterwards.

Impressive, Kathy! I tried swimming a couple of weeks aggo and managed all of two laps. Two!

Damn, Kathy, that is impressive. Exercising like that for an hour is a lot.
