not your mom's socks.
Kathy, a couple years ago I found a collapsible stairclimber on amazon for around 100$. I was failing on getting to a gym or pool and I figured if I did stairs for 20 minutes, it was at least 20 more minutes of load bearing exercise than I'd been doing. Then I figured out I could catch up on hulu at the same time. It lacks the obvious benefits of the pool, but I can't tell myself it's too long a drive.
I'm certainly not saying it's perfect or even the right fit for Anyone but me. It made a difference having it right in my office. Plus, I could make Working Girl jokes now and then.
Eta: too busy jabbering about my dumb machine to say what I thought: you are inspiring - swimming 33 laps is beyond me. I'm not surprised that others are following in your wake.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of light, it was light out on my way home tonight! So exciting.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I'm excited that it's supposed to get up to the low 20s tomorrow. And then 39 by Sunday, and stay up there until Tuesday, at least!! It was so frigid on the way to the pool this afternoon that I thought I'd never stop shivering. I am sooo ready for spring, and it's going to be at least another six weeks of this winter crap.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Go Kathy!
it's going to be at least another six weeks of this winter crap.
Yep, about 37 days and 21 hours, according to my Spring widget. But only two and a half weeks to the end of meteorological winter, so, yay!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I just checked the weather one last time and the temperatures, I can handle. The wind, sure. The whatevers. The newest joy? High pollen count. Pine.
Hysterical, right? Yeah, I am not laughing either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I bought an electric eraser today. They have ones that cost ~$10, ~$50, and ~$100. The first one I bought in the first bracket didn't work at all and goes back tomorrow. The second one, still in the first bracket, works...it works. So it stays. I really want one from another bracket. They must be magical. What I should have bought was a magnifying glass. Then I could do crazy miniatures like this. Because it's obviously a magnifying glass standing between me and success.

I don't understand an electric eraser... but the crazy miniatures are crazy small.
My onerous tasks today were figuring out how to use my regional center billable hours so that I can maintain Grace's Medi-Cal EPSDT in order to continue to have nursing.
I should also have called the pulmonary lab but fuck it.
I'm so damn tired.

When I was drafting it was a god-send! I erased a lot!

I played with crazy expensive electric erasers left over from drafting for APO projects. When the site was just a trailer, not a 3.5 m, 1 m and Sloan Telescope. Man, blast from the past.
