It's Too Hot!

I got my 17th follower. Welcome Dan from Into Geek.  Thanks for following me. I really enjoy your blog, being a geek myself.

I was supposed to go to the beach today, but my friend's car got totalled. She got sideswiped by an elderly woman, but she's fine.  So I spent today trying not to burn to death with the windows open in the house.  This is the sort of weather where I need ice cream, but I don't have money for it.  If all goes well at my job interview Thursday, I'll be making money soon though.

Miscellany

It's so hot today. I'm going to attempt to make a Youtube video without sound issues.  I have nothing to do for Fourth of July, so I'm sitting home alone eating a sandwich. I think I'll make baked apples.  I really really want a cheeseburger, but I don't have money.  Maybe I'll crash a barbecue.  It occurs to me I never posted a photo of my new glasses. Bam.



I'm really not quite that pale. Lighting is off.

Well, Happy Fourth of July, everyone.

Just Keep Swimming, Swimming, Swimming

I got all unpacked and moved in yesterday, then made myself some pasta and intended to go swimming.  There were already 5 or 6 other people in the pool so I waited an hour and went back.  I had the pool all to myself.  It turns out that that was because the pool is supposed to get locked up at 9, and not at 10 like my roommate told me.  I can't blame her for being wrong though. She doesn't know how to swim, so it's not like it's something she would need to know.  So I had done about 5 laps in the pool, not too shabby for not having gone swimming at all for 2 years.  And this random guy shows up.  And I can't really see him, since I wear glasses normally, but not in the pool.  And he goes "Have you been waiting for me?" in this totally I'm-hitting-on-you-and-not-even-trying-to-pretend-I'm-not voice.  It turns out that he's the guy who locks up the pool and he was late.  He let me know that the pool is supposed to get locked up at 9.  He also said he didn't mind if I swam a few more laps before he locked up.  I didn't swim any more laps.  I got out of the pool and wrapped my towel around myself and apologized for being there when it was supposed to get locked up and told him I had just moved in and my roommate had told me it was open until 10.  He said that it's supposed to get locked up at 9, but he's late a lot and asked where I live.  I told him it was somewhere up over the hill and I don't know the number yet.  He then proceeded to tell me about how he never learned how to swim.  He also started to talk about how he's a gamer and he plays with (15 or 12, don't remember or really care) sided dice because 20-sided are too round.  This was totally unrelated to anything I had said.  He was probably around my age, maybe a little older.  Anyway, I will not be swimming that late again.  It was kind of nice though until he showed up, since it was starting to get dark and I'm kind of self-conscious.  I was feeling pretty confident when I was shopping and got a red bikini. Not the best decision I've ever made, especially since I haven't even owned a bikini since I was 4.  But I just need to get over my self-consciousness and enjoy the water.  I still won't be purposely swimming when guys are there though.  Also, I'm pretty sure I actually hadn't been swimming since developing asthma, which was actually 4 years ago.  My lungs got pretty tired after just those 5 laps.

The Doing of Important Things

That's my goal today.  I am attempting to schedule a job interview. Target called back while I was sleeping and left me a voicemail, and then we I called to schedule the interview, they took my name and number and I'm waiting for them to call me back, which seems overly complicated to me, but what do I know?  I'm all moved into my new place.  Moved in, not unpacked.  But I am going to unpack today, and after that I will go swimming in the pool because it is a lovely day and I intend to enjoy it, but I can't until I get called back.  Or I can just continue this fabulous game of phone tag we're playing.  That's probably what's going to happen.  My allergies are really bad today too.  My left eye is super itchy and my right eye is ridiculously watery.  Well, I'm going to go unpack now. Au revoir, amigos. (That is a new language combo I would like to name Spanich, because it sounds like Spinach. I'm so clever :P)
