Learning to Swim--Day 37

Tweet

This morning was a rough one for me and Wylie. I woke up to a nasty case of diarrhea and constipation, probably from one of the side effects of my muscle relaxer medicine, since I'm halfway through. And Wylie caterwauled a few times even after I gave him a shot before bedtime too. I had to give him another one earlier this morning even after I refilled his water bowl. Then while the weather flip flopped from cloudy, to rain and sunshine, it was a bit dicey. While I waited for Acme to deliver my groceries before I left, which cut it close on time before I left, (four items were sold out and I had to get replacements, which cost me $5 extra for my checking card). At least, I didn't have to pay ten extra dollars for the fee. Then I packed the cold stuff away first and then headed out of the door and then it rained--more like sprinkled--so I went back up, grabbed my poncho, and headed out. By the time I arrived at the gym, I was only 3 minutes late for my swim lesson with Paige. Other than the usual warm-up with 2 laps of the breast stroke, I swam two sets of three laps of the breast stroke and stopping once at the cone at the halfway point. Then I did 3 sets of timed laps with a minute or two between them for breaks to finish out the lesson. I did let Paige know about next Tuesday and 6/26 today and would remind her on Thursday.
