It was paper recycling day yesterday. Roy helped carry out the box, minus the cat.
In the notes to self file: Don't go early to Sunday evening swims. At one point there were 9 people in the "fast lane", and five were swimming recreational breaststroke. It thinned out from 5:00 - 6:00, the time I usually shoot for. My rationale had been simple, but clearly flawed. As I filled four lawn waste bags for the last pickup of the year, I thought the extra time would be spent in the hot tub. Which I did. But the first half of the swim really wasn't pretty. Note to aforementioned breaststrokers. Don't rest at the wall and push off immediately in front of the person swimming freestyle. It's rude. The same applies to those using kickboards. Unless you're really fast!!!
On the up side, because I'm the Crockpot Queen, I set the appliance on high to simmer spaghetti sauce. I'm thinking there may be a sloppy joe in my future one night after practice! So I arrived home from the pool to the smell of sauce. And I had some for dinner.

I love the horror with which you utter the phrase "recreational breaststroke"! It is all very well in its place, I suppose...
Oh, I'm all for recreational breaststroke. I think it's great. But you're absolutely right — it's place is not in the "fast" lane.
My roommate has declared this crockpot week in our house - I'm excited because this means she cooks and I get to eat :-)
Although in our house, the crockpot has stay in the bathroom because the last time we left it on the kitchen counter, the dog knocked it over and we didn't find it until the end of the day. Stupid dog!
Sorry you didn't get the swim workout you were looking for. Hope some of those folks read your blog!
Shirley, in the grand scheme of things, not such a big deal. And a lesson learned. I did put in 2,000 metres, although some would qualify as "junk metres".
Danielle, did the dog eat any of the spillage?
Wendy, I think what you meant to write was "did the dog 'leave' any of the spillage" Dogs believe that all food they can reach is obviously for them - much as cats do - and in their helpful way they want to clean it up.
Deb, true enough! But Danielle tells me in this case the dog probably scared itself silly knocking the pot over and didn't vacuum up the spillage.
