Currently acclimating to recent temperature and schedule changes including a cat wanting to spend nights inside again but then being annoyed and pouty about it.
Tangent: This cartoon in my inbox made me panic for a second yesterday because for some reason I thought someone was sending me a revised upcoming event map I was going to have to try and interpret. πŸ˜‚ SO glad this wasn’t an event map. RE:

Ok - who is wishing for cooler weather? It’s very pleasant outside right now but the radio just said expected low tonight will be in the 40’s (49Β°F would count.) This is going to make the pools like taking an ice bath tomorrow… Mmm maybe not such a bad thing but I need to look for my sweatshirt.
My feed is looking like a watch party that probably makes more sense with the video. I guess I need to hunt down a recorded unedited version tomorrow given.
More event prep: Quick test of a new pattern ice plate using some of the oldest clear ice in the freezer here. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreihjnnu7zzvjnn4u3pazm3omjmswke4zdzvdlsfmztw6qecct7epyq
Still sore from Sunday. I forgot that swimming laps uses different muscles and went right for 30 minutes of laps followed by 30 minutes in the dive pool diving and treading water … this is NOT the same as an hour in the dive pool. Time for more coffee and a zoom meeting. β˜•οΈ
It’s been a long day. Lots of swimming. Even more work. Found a baby Cardinal in the shrubs to take some photos of while I was grilling burgers. Look at the little cute floof feathers & relax for the night. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreidyei7rdgr2guv3mdajbacawjtidz7x2nmclws3exrzukoprcfiwy
We’ve reached the time of year when school is in & lifeguard staffing becomes sporadic. I should just bring work to the pool in case I want to swim in another pool and hope they get another lifeguard in. The springboard looks so lonely… Oo! Lifeguard! It’s open. BYE
The storm this afternoon tipped over the planter with all the herbs. Ended up salvaging what I could of the arugula and cilantro for use over the next few days. Both are so much stronger than the store bought. Super spicy arugula: https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreigv45upjujoqzrlgh5a2at472w7pi73r6foopkxjabl5ppo2ddivm
I just remembered I made tea. I was distracted by the cat that never gets on chairs or couches nearly jumping on me on the couch to get me onto the floor to hold my hand on his back. I can’t tell if he feels off or is just wants the extra warmth.
