I haven’t posted about my swimming in a bit, but I hit a couple of milestones. Last week, I hit 50 miles for the year – which is not too shabby. And on one of my laps – at the end of my swim – I timed myself and did the lap in 40 seconds. Which is kinda awesome.<\/p>\n
Last weekend, had a game night with some friends. We played Phase 10 – which is too damn close to\u00a0Shanghai\u00a0Rummy for my taste. I was a good sport about it, even when I got skipped multiple times and ended up losing badly. Very badly. I even got past one of my friends being a sore winner. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
While were playing a game and enjoying some fruit salad, I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I registered what it was, then re-registered it, then turned back to the table. The conversation was as follows:<\/p>\n
Me: “Is there something in the fruit?”<\/p>\n
Everyone else: “No”<\/p>\n
Me: “Because I just saw the cat out of the corner of my eye and I thought it was a raccoon,”<\/p>\n
Everyone else: (pause – then burst out laughing)<\/p>\n
In my defense, the cat was raccoon colored and about the same size. I didn’t have anymore fruit, though, just in case.<\/p>\n
In other news… I took the day off today to take my cat to the vet. Thunder is doing well, but I wanted to meet the vet and have all the paperwork filled out in case I needed to bring him back in an emergency.<\/p>\n
Thunder didn’t like the car ride and barely tolerated the vet. And he hated getting his claws trimmed. We finally pinned him down and got them done, but he wasn’t amused.<\/p>\n
He meowed – loudly – the entire way there and the entire way home. Fortunately, I think we’re still friends. I can’t find his collar though. He had it on this morning, but then it was gone when we got to the vet. I guess he got it off somewhere around here, but finding it will be a challenge.<\/p>\n
This afternoon – after some more video games – I’m having lunch with the Ladies From New York. Haven’t seen them in a bit and it will be nice to visit with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
