disjointed thinking

I haven't been able to shake the cobwebs out of my head lately and come up with any good blog topics so today it's just a little potpourri if you will and some updates.

1. Flip turns: these are progressing moderately well. Last night I had horrible toe cramps which threatened to shorten my swim but I hung in there and made more than 50% of my turns gymnastic events! I'm leaving in about 1/2 hour for today's adventure at the pool, wish me luck!

2. String theory, next measurment. I finally took some yarn out today and did the next measurments. Suprisingly the newest strings add up to about 5-6 inches less than the originals. yipeee.

3. Shelf life. Does your body have a shelf life? I'm not happy to find that as I near my 50th birthday my body has decided that it's time to start the break down. I must add here that by "breakdown" I mean start giving me signals that things are "changing" I've been having more frequent headaches, disjointed thinking, interrupted sleep and what I finally recognized yesterday as hotflashes . . . arghhhhhhh guess you know what that means . . . . it's official, I'm becoming a crone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crone

4. Well this "hag" is going to put on her bathing suit and hit the pool. I challenge any other old crone out there to do the same! Eat my bubbles.
