Second night of driving to and swimming at Towson. Still hate the drive. Getting better at turns in that pool and not slamming my hand into the wall. So far, the worst lane sharers; I have been clawed and kicked by old white dudes. Ladies and teens are marginally better. Sucky water pressure in the showers. You'd think in a brand new sports facility, good water pressure in the showers might be a thing, but no. Takes forever to rinse the shampoo out. Otoh, at least it is a saltwater pool, so less of an issue of dechlorinating oneself.
I want my pool back!
Well, I"m turning off my workbrain until tomorrow, so that's sort of the end of Monday.
Oh, man, showers with poor water pressure are so disappointing. Salt water pool sounds nice, though.
Enjoy the retirement party, Burrell!
It's not as nice as the filtered ocean pools in Aus. Hello, super bouyancy! And really soft skin after.
You do note the absence of chlorine most (still some, but you can't tell unless you really sniff hard) and regular water tastes slightly sweet after. Chlorine doesn't bug me unless it's at extreme level, though. I know folks with more sensitivity than I love the difference.
People at my new job keep validating my judgement and taking my ideas seriously. I didn't realize how much my previous job didn't do that until now. It's disconcerting, but nice.
It's disconcerting, but nice.
I've been feeling that way too. HIGH FIVE!!
Merciful heavens, I just got off the phone with my sister, who urged me to get right with the Republican party before I die so that I can rest in the arms of Baby Jesus in eternity. Her exact words were far more theology-ish. I refrained from much comment on the grounds that 1) I refuse to believe in a God who bases eligiblity for salvation on political affiliation; and B) before I eased out of Fundamentalist Christianity, I believed in eternal security of the believer, ergo I'm no less Saved than I ever was, especially now that I don't believe Salvation is reserved only for a select few.
That's excellent, Calli.
As a palate cleanser, I ate so many miniature peanut butter cups that I have a stomach ache, but I'm still eyeing the bag wanting to eat more.
