Liese, awesome for asking and getting what you wanted!

None of my devices for telling me how much exercise I am getting seem to be much use in the pool. And I'm not even sure how long the pool is, so I don't know what my 8 (very slow with pauses to rest at each end) lengths ones to in yards or meters. I called the front desk earlier to ask and she said it was "Olympic-sized, I think 25...meters?" So I don't have enormous confidence in that.

-t, you can often google this info. I have a Speedo Pace club app that tells me the lengths of most pools. Also, you can check here: [link] and search by facility.

Thanks, Kat. Googling wasn't getting me anywhere, but I was mostly looking on the gym's website (I still can't believe it just doesn't say somewhere, but it doesn't seem to). I will broaden my search and see if that works. Your link doesn't find my city, although it does find two of the three In-Shapes in the neighboring city. If I knew they were all the same size I would be all set, but I do not know that...it's In-Shape in Suisun City on Sunset Ave if your app has it

Timelies all!

We just had some heavy rain. Again.

I did not need to hear a monologue from my dad about all the things he did for my brother and me when we were kids. And yet, that's what I got. (According to my folks my brother complains a lot about what he wasn't allowed to do as a kid. I have no idea if that's true, but if it is, my brother needs to get over it. If it's not, I have no answers. Either way, leave me out of it.)

They're having the official ribbon cutting for the new building. The governor is downstairs, woo.

But they just released doves, and I feel sorry for them, unless they're really homing pigeons and know where to go so they're not just thrown out into an area they don't know anything about.

Doves are survivors, they are tougher than you think.

Man, I missed Bike to Work Day. I was totally gonna do it this year, too, if I had known when it was.

Plants delivered and some are going to boss man. Coworker queried why there were geraniums next to his car. This devolved into her being sincerely pissed at me that I hadn't asked her if she wanted to buy plants wholesale. JFC, it wasn't like I was taking orders from the staff for their personal needs! I barely got the order for work in amidst all the other shit I'm dealing with.

And I'm really pissed at the ED and his "helping me" as it continues to fuck shit up and he just refuses to hear me. Contractor supposed to design several garden areas. I show contractor the areas and he admits to me that he sucks at garden design and would prefer to defer to my choices. So now am I not only scrapping the design I had already done thanks to the ED meddling, but I'm picking out new plants for a garden I was supposed to be relieved of designing, which is pissing off the ED. Aal this in the name of helping me and he refuses to see that this is creating extra work for me.

Murder. Death and fire and paper cuts. I wish these things upon him.

It's tomorrow, here. Was it today there? Note, I do not own a bike, and am mostly worried there will be a lot of slow bus-bike commuters interfering with my routine.

It was last week here, for some reason. I did not notice a lot of bike commuters, but there just aren't a lot of other people on my route at my commute time.

Upon reflection, even if I had known it was B2W day I probably would have driven, as I needed to cross the straits that evening. So not such a big loss. I'll just have to pick a day on my own to try biking to work.

Oh, that explains why DH made a point of wearing his Bike 2 Work shirt today.
