Katsolo's Journal, 15 November 2021

Not bad after the eating out. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Swam again yesterday and made a decision to put the pool on weekender mode for now. Little Italy was a bust again last night. All of my hidden parking lots are either condos or giant holes in the earth waiting to become condos. I was even ready to pay for parking. Kinda sad, it's a fun area to walk around. I don't use ride shares anymore due to a harrowing experience, so we're probably limited to Sunday afternoons with a decent walk into the area. Doesn't bother me. That said, it was bustling down there, and that's great. I would have taken pics, but driving and trying to exit the area unscathed. We ended up going to a favorite spot, Pizzeria Luigi, where not that many people know they make a really great spaghetti. Luigi's mom's recipe. She's a cool lady. Hardly ever see her anymore, but we appreciated the sauce. It always comes down to the sauce. Was telling BF how funny it was that Luigi's was the last place we went before shutdown, the place I freaked out about most during when their phone was disconnected (I thought it was gone forever) and one of the places we now frequent the most after due to excellent food and spacing in the outdoor dining areas. probably something wrong with my life priorities based on this paragraph. 🤪

the swim: tried something completely different, short bursts the entire duration with ten deep breaths in between as rest (probably something like 20-30 seconds). would have been a warm up in a past life, but good enough to get the body moving and I really like how I feel after a swim. got stung by a bee mid-set. big ol' stinger. took a pic of that and sent to BF. when it's super hot, my fountain gets covered in bees and they leave me alone, this one came out of nowhere and got me in the pool. kinda weird. 682 strokes, average heart rate at a much more constant 145, 8.6 METs. it wasn't about the amount of effort this time, it was about working my way back into it. didn't even remove the restrictor from the snorkel, it was more about the rest in between and keeping the cough at bay.

No walk with puppies, just a block and a half to and from dinner. living in a popular neighborhood, it is so amusing watching people drive around and around for parking when usually you can find something if you go two blocks in any direction. that said, we both agreed that I will not be going there at night by myself without a large dog and pepper spray anymore. the guys know me and they'll bring my food outside along with snacks for the beast, so that's all cool.

blob down, muscle holding, water up. all good stuff. maybe I need to eat more spaghetti? oh, the torture! I still have leftovers, so the question is whether it's for lunch or dinner. second day spaghetti is so good. some of the bread went to the dogs. none left.

work calls. enjoy the day. press on, press on.

Oh Katsolo, I have spent so much time forlorn that my Chinese restaurant has been closed since Covid started, to the point of just being ridiculous! The only thing that keeps me hoping they will survive is the phone message says when this is over they’ll be back. Hopefully!😢😭 My life is a bit sad too, to concentrate on that. 🙃 Thank you for being kind to the bees. We have that too where they go for our water and leave us alone, but one stray stung Al on his hand when he was raking and he’s a bit allergic. He survived without complaining too much. 🐝

I feel your pain. Two of my favorite lunch places closed during pandemic. 😔 and a cupcake place is closing after thanksgiving.
