The prospect for swimming today looked questionable this morning ⛈️ But the storm moved out, and the sun even peeked through the clouds a few times while I enjoyed the pool all to myself for lunchtime laps ⛅🏊 It's raining again this afternoon 🌧️ Must be living right 😉

note to self: update the list of excluded hashtags for my swimming feed 🫣

Crush I haven't been lucky enough to hear this song at a concert yet - I'm still looking forward to it someday, with a cool solo/intro by @slessard.bsky.social of course 😎 BTCS was the first DMB album I owned myself, a gift from a college friend/roommate 💙 (I "borrowed" her UTTAD a lot 🤣)

Seasonal allergies haven't bothered me too much, but something was getting to me while I swam laps today. My theory: maybe I was swimming in a concentrated solution of pollen after heavy rain this morning washed everything into the pool 🌧️🧪🏊🤧😂

If I ever send you 🤏 it means "I'm only gonna swim a little bit of butterfly" when I'm doing laps 🏊 Only 250 of the 13,000 yards I swam this week were butterfly 😆

Brrr - it's chilly laps in the outdoor pool today 🏊 The pump or heater is down again, and with recent cold weather the water temp is down to 71°F / 22°C 🥶 But the sun feels warm ☀️ and I have the pool to myself - except for the half dozen sunbathers (spectators?) lounging on the pool deck 😎

The outdoor pool has been busy the last two days thanks to sunshine and warmer weather ☀️ Today is cloudy with a chance of rain, and I enjoyed swimming laps all by myself ☺️ I'm not unsociable; I just like it better when it's only my own waves 🌊🏊
