Flip Turns

Tonight I swam and without giving it any advanced thought, swam the 2100 yd workout with all flip turns.  Swimming is a lot harder without that extra breath at the turn.  For the record, the longest set (interval? not sure of the right term) in the workout was 200 yds and I'm not sure that I could have done much more than that with all flips.  But, I'll take your congratulations anyway;)

Yesterday I cleaned out my extra room and stumbled across a bunch of letters and cards from a few ex-boyfriends.  Its funny no matter how long ago it was and how over it you are, reading these things can make you do a flip turn.  Maybe its just knowing that there was a time when you read these things and didn't have the clarity of hind sight to realize that they were all bullshit that throws you for a loop.  It maybe makes you appreciate the ones that just walk away without leaving a written legacy.

Maybe.

 

Busy is Better

or blame it on facebook

I think alot of my recent melancholy is caused by facebook.

Don't get me wrong, I love the fb and can only hope that they never make it so you can see who accesses your page. Because then my stalking will be significantly curtailed.

But it also let's you know what is going on with people that you haven't seen or spoken to in years. All of whom seem to have kids or spouses or other pretty things that they can take pictures of and list neatly in their profile. Its much easier to evidence a baby and a husband on a facebook page than it is to evidence a job at which you are appreciated (even if you spend entirely too much time at it) or a workout that clicks or an apartment you love or that you have a crock pot and managed to make a pot roast that fed your grandparents for 3 meals.

Sometime it takes being so insanely busy (at work and otherwise) that you can't think about what you don't have and can't change and instead learn to appreciate what you do have and don't want to change.
