Good for you, msbelle! If it's only 2 people per lane, offer to split the lane unless what you're worried about is not going straight. Circle swim is the devil.

Beercade was good times!
I'm excavating everything from under the bed and dusting. It's disgusting under there and there definitely are things I'm throwing out, and now I'm wishing I'd waited to do laundry, because I'm already coated in dust.

Our wings are not tired.
Beercade does indeed sound fun and I don't even drink beer.
That is a good idea, -t. I should rig up a raised basin for my overly tall people.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
It is designated circle swim and I cannot flip turn and I am not sure I swim straight. I have not swum in probably 5 years, I know I have not even put on a swimsuit in 3 until today. I do not like the body I currently have, but I pushed through it.

Walking in water is a good workout, msbelle. Way to go. Last time I was faced with having to split a lane I just bailed on the swim entirely, I'm afraid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
This is the problem. Washing pots in a sink that's 5 inches lower than my elbows makes me bend over by about 30 degrees and it's murder on my back.
I have this same problem doing dishes. Kills my back bending over the sink for a half hour.

You got in the water, that's what counts. I know you're unhappy where you're at. I hope this and everything comes together to make you feel more home with yourself.
No one prefers a circle over split, that's just evil policy. And for the record, I don't flip turn. Never felt natural doing them.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm short, and trying to cut hard vegetables or big blocks of cheese, or well, pretty much anything on standard height counters is an exercize in elbows and earlobes. There's a rolltop desk in the alcove just outside the kitchen. I use that a lot for cutting. What I want is a table at the right height for me, that I can cut and chop on, and roll out dough, and all those things I used to do in my short kitchen.
