Mundane participation for the tragically bored.

wearing: some old dark green slacks (tensil may be the material, some damn textile mix) and a gray sweatshit like thing - it looks like the old Henley design but made of sweatshirt material; yes, faux crocs, the navy ones.
The yellow ones are for gardening, the pink ones are for if I am feeling flamboyant, and the dark blue for being serious for a change. It's not that I'm fond of them, it's that my balance is a tad fragile re going down steps and so on, and they give my feet a bit of a platform to count on.
hearing: quiet
drinking: red wine, a Chianti
eating: nothing.
doing: a mix of things in the kitchen. Just took out of the oven a batch of Dan Lepard's recipe/bialys with olives, caramelized onions, poppy seeds. Am planning on bbq/pork ribs for dinner with a salad that starts with fresh cabbage. Except the fresh cabbage looks to be getting weary, so, after making sure the small amount of the salad cabbage is ok, I'm going to start up making a cabbage, carrot, celery, potato, onion, maybe white bok choy, cooked bacon from the freezer, chicken stock, soup, all to save the damned cabbage. I have all those things at hand, it's just the doing that I'm not in the mood for.
feeling: the inner corner of my left eye is a little sore, and I know what that's about. That eye has blepharitis, not that bad a problem, but the eye can clog up and it's scary when it happens. The inner corner starting to hurt is a first symptom. I know now to use warm compresses on it, or in this case, my eye masque, filled with turquoise plastic beads - the one you can heat for a short time in the microwave. Trouble is, it's hard to type with my left hand while holding that. At the same time, it's not the worst worry in the world.
looking forward to: finishing the book I'm reading (Isabel Allende's Ripper - my opinions on it so far tend to vary), and finishing my A2k fantasy baseball game preferred draft picks

wearing:Black yoga pants from The Girls. Love 'em. Tinkerbell tank under black long-sleeved t under awesome plum/black running jacket. Shiny black Mephistos I found at a thrift. Supercomfy



kind of funny that after years of trying Mephistos on at posh shops, I finally found a pair that fit at a thrift

hearing: a lot of Peter Gabriel on Vinyl Tap
drinking: nothing.
eating: nothing. Need to make some soup.
doing: mumbling about the drop in the temps
feeling: like it was a super afternoon in the pool
looking forward to: swimming again tomorrow. with my swimming-related weight-loss, a bunch of swimsuits fit. I feel like quite the athlete with the selection of swimsuits I have now.

My take, as a sometime weight fluctuator off an on, is that swimming is one of the best things. For me, once I passed through the Y classes with a terrific teacher and built up to a mile a few times a week, going there at night with my husband after I didn't do classes anymore, I found the swimming peaceful, restorative, and that it was a sensible way to lose weight. That is, if I didn't invade the fast lane, where the fast and spashy fools with big feet would hang out.

Hey! I don't think I ever saw you here before! Nice little snapshot of your day
