My garden was fruitful this morning. I got 12 banana peppers, 4 broccoli heads, and 2 sweet pea pods. So I decided to make some stuffed peppers for dinner tonight.
First time this year I got to the olympic-sized lap pool. I really have no idea how I don't live by a body of water. I could have stayed in there all evening. For my first real swim of the season I think I started off pretty decently at 50 laps. Or 100 one-ways. Swimming is the most natural thing for me. I could stay in there all evening and just keep going. It's when I get out I have problems walking...
When I was delirious during my sickness a few weeks back I planned a trip to a resort in Thailand. I found a hotel where each suite had its own personal pool right outside your bedroom sliding glass door and the resort was overlooking the ocean. (Well, it isn't as luxurious like the one hotel I found where your 'suite' in literally a room on some wooden raft/plank hovering over the ocean and you have to take a boat to get to it.) I think the whole trip might have cost about $8,000. But what's money, right? LOL No problem. Again, I was delirious. Then I decided to hell with that. I want to put in a pool in my backyard. Again, I can't afford it, but it's a dream. I need to get away and go camping and swimming in a lake and maybe hiking up in the mountains. Reminds me of when I went with my cousins to my Uncle's log cabin in the mountains by a huge lake in TN. He told me I could go swimming and when he turned around I was gone. Scared him half to death. I eventually came back, of course. I remember swimming out to the middle of the lake and just floating along for a while. I miss the old country stuff. Maybe it's been too long since I've been to the south. Or maybe I need to get away somewhere new.
I'm procrastinating. I'm nervous about tomorrow. Really nervous actually. But it will be over in moments. When I asked Jeff about the reading he told me he never asked me whether I would read because I don't have a choice. Wish me luck.
