The best end to a day… maybe, ever
Tweet The work day today seemed exceptionally long. Maybe because I’m a bit overworked and it’s been rather warm around these parts. So I decided to leave at a normal time and go for a swim before our potluck dinner with the training group. The lake temperature was perfect. I wanted to swim a half [...]
First open water swim of the season
Tweet It’s been in the 90s for the past 3 or 4 days. It was just getting to the point where you just wanted to stand in front of the open freezer door. Today was the first day it was back to normal – in the high 60s/low 70s. After yesterday’s run workout in a [...]
what the heck is that?
Tweet On Friday Kink decided she wanted to be friendly aka she wanted someone to pet her. So I was petting her and found a small lump on her leg. Fortunately she doesn’t seem to be bothered by it and she doesn’t have a loss of appetite. Granted, I don’t think anything could make her [...]
Dear God that was rough
Tweet This was the first time in a long time that I’ve gone swimming. And it was a killer. And I only swam for about 30/40 minutes! Ugh… it’s gonna take a little longer than I thought to get back into swim shape Oh well, it’s not worth doing, if there’s no challenge to [...]
My name is Becky and my cat is overweight
Tweet Ok… overweight may be a strong ternm. Kink is, zoftig, reubenesque, plus-sized, husky… whatever you want to call it. But when you’re on the couch, checking your eyelids for leaks and she jumps up on your chest and knocks the wind out of you, perhaps it’s time to send her to kitty fat camp. [...]

How was my weekend?

It's too darn hot!
Tweet Yesterday I got up and got my hair cut and dyed. And I love it! I went to a new place. It’s a salon called Ba Ba Louise in Ballard. The stylist that did my hair was Ava and I think she is awesome. I have crazy hair – it’s thick and curly and [...]
Alrighty, I'm taking a few minutes to write
Tweet This is going to be the summer I feel like I wish I had more time to do things for myself. I already feel a bit like I may have stretched myself a little too thin. We’ll see how this summer goes. If I need to drop something I suppose I will. I’m hoping [...]
