WHEWWWW!!!!

Just when I didn't think it could get any hotter. The forecasters are saying that this will feel like the hottest day of the year! I believe them. I feel like I'm melting.

Yesterday, I went for my first swim practice for the Master Swim Club. I actually had my very own coach to refine my stoke yesterday. Needless to say, practice kicked my butt! I went through and hour and a half of drills and laps (about 3000 yds). I even managed to pull my shoulder somehow too. You can guess how good I slept last night. It was very hot outside during practice yesterday so, I decided to get to the pool earlier this morning. I was in and swimming about 10:30. The water hadn't heated up too much and was perfect this morning. I only managed about 1750 yds. today, but I did manage to get in all of my new drills. I had to swim really slow, because my shoulder was REALLY achy this morning. It's still bothering me some, but it felt better, when the muscle warmed up. I sure hope I don't regret the laps I did manage, tomorrow morning.

Now, keeping in today's hot, swimming theme....

The New Guys

I know that I've been really neglecting the blog lately. Believe me, you guys haven't been missing anything. It's just been typical working, coming home, reading, swimming, running, and the same the next day. There has been one new development.

Since Scooter was adopted by my mother's best friend (He's doing just great BTW..He gets hot buttered toast and a boiled egg for breakfast every morning, car rides, and sleeps in the bed), I have a couple of new fosters. They came from a little town about 30 minutes away from me. Their names are Daisy and Jack. They are both older dogs, Daisy is 12 and Jack is 9. They didn't do well at all with the move, but they've both finally settled. Daisy is just a "little old lady crumudgeon", but she is very loving. Jack is just the cutest little thing. He's pretty tiny, even more than Indiana. He's VERY timid and skittish, but he loves to be loved once he warms up. He has the cutest little question mark like strip on his back and rear. We're thinking about just keeping them, since they moved SO poorly and because of their age. Daisy has VERY bad allergies, so I'm giving her meds and using Prep-H to keep down the irritation.

Here they are:
