Well damn it’s cold.
It’s been coming for a while but today I finally acknowledged it. Or last night–I slept in a long-sleeved shirt, first of the season. And then today I dug out the fleece vest I wore EVERY DAY ALL LAST WINTER, and the fingerless gloves, and the fleece-and-wool hat, and the slippers, and….yeah.
Brr.
They say it may even snow by the weekend, or at least snow-and-rain-slush. Brr.

Even so, I went for a swim. And the Man Who Does Not Recognize Me showed up and shared a lane with me, and by golly I swim faster than he does, and he’s a real swimmer! So I am forced to conclude that perhaps I might be a real swimmer myself.
Which is cool.

My friend’s medical thing went well, and I did some driving and provisioning and hand-holding, and expect to do some more over the next few days, and all is good.
Also I am trying to get something of a handle on the chaos that is the Witchnest. Took out some giant volumes of recycling. Dusted a few things. Filed some things. You know. There is lots more to do…Little by little.
And the fish tank is very clear. Still strangely compelling, with its foliage wafting in the invisible water-breeze. Can’t wait to get fish in there. 🙂
