  1. Thanks! I swam competitively when I was a kid, and I've always been really comfortable in the water, but I've only recently begun to really get back into doing laps and the like. Next big goal (aside from shaving my time down further) is doing a pool mile. :)
  2. Beat my personal best time in the pool (500 yards breaststroke - I usually swim two sets of 500, not competitive, just an ordinary workout) by nearly a minute and finally pummeled the time to under 15 minutes. 14:19:13.
  3. Had a thoroughly great birthday with friends yesterday, picnic, swimming in the ocean, and breakfast for dinner, plus new art supplies and cake. Will celebrate with family tonight.
  4. My mom's stuck in the hospital again, this time because after her dermatologist removed a "thing" (her words) on her scalp (on Monday), it wouldn't stop bleeding. The derm sorted it and they're keeping her in the hospital for observation, because her red cell count was low. But really, why do things keep going all pear shaped? At least it's just for the night.
  5. My team survived a triple-header today - 12, 2:30, and 3:45. And serious props to my pitchers for pitching the latter two games in the most ridiculous wind imaginable. Plenty of dust for all.
  6. Really glad to hear you got a diagnosis and a good medication combo that's working for you, and support from family and friends. Keep it up and be well. :)
  7. Got to go to the Harvard Museum today and spend a full hour poring over the glass flowers exhibit. Truly extraordinary pieces.
  8. I'm not sure we have the drinking part quite down, either, though one of our umps has suggested he can be bribed with Captain Morgan...
  9. Haha well this is only our 2nd year playing as a group, and we won like 4 of 18 last year. We've got a couple of people who've either never played softball, or only played for one year so far. We're pretty decent, all things considered, it's just the other teams in the division are quite a bit more decent. ;) Good luck to your team.
  10. Failed my learner's permit exam because I missed all the junior operator law questions, which don't apply to me . Feel old and also broke. Gotta cough up the $30, study the junior operator laws, and take it again tomorrow. What a headache. (yes, I am 26 and don't have a license. I haven't ever really needed one thus far.)
  11. Helped bring a little lost dog and her owner back together yesterday, through a series of very lucky coincidences. Her family is very happy.
  12. My mom's out of the hospital and doing well, started outpatient therapy yesterday. Good to have her home.
  13. Glad to hear things are looking up. Best regards.
  14. Sorry to hear - best wishes, hope everything goes ok.
  15. My mom isn't as frail as "stroke" would imply - she's certainly coherent and cognizant of what's going on around her, cracking wise, etc. Having seen her yesterday, she seems to be doing pretty well.
  16. My dad acquiesced to taking me with him for a visit this afternoon. She's doing about as I expected, though if there's a rehab bed available they may spring her as early as tomorrow, since they've done all their evals. Good deal, I suppose.
  17. Transportation is complicated but I'll see if I can go with my dad tonight. Other things are complicated and, even if I want to see her, she may not want to see me. But we'll see how that goes.
  18. If I could, I would visit. Unfortunately, one of us has to stay with our dog, and that's me. It was a similar situation when she broke her hip last summer. She also prefers to see my dad. My understanding is she'll be in the acute care until they determine what caused the stroke, and then she'll be transferred to a rehab hospital.
  19. I live with my father & mother, actually. He does relay things if I ask, he's just not a talkative person to begin with, and he has a lot on his plate with his job, etc. Fortunately my mom's sister is flying in today, and her other sister might come up at some point as well.
  20. My mom had a stroke on Sunday. She's in the hospital and, I suppose, doing alright, but it's hard on my dad and he doesn't relay much information.
  21. My new nephew was born yesterday (finally!), healthy and adorable. He and his brother will doubtless take over the world someday.
  22. Yeah, for sure hats have to be your thing, but I think the guy's got a strong concept going for him, and it's quality work. I think somewhere it was mentioned he might add winter hats/toques to his lineup at some point.
  23. And wasn't even terribly expensive, either. Something like $30 including shipping? I think the guy's just starting out the business, he had an ad on Facebook of all places.
