Katsolo's Journal, 12 December 2021

So this happened last night. Watch says it was 57 degrees, nope, it was 49 per the thermometer in the yard and I swam anyways. Clear and cold. I worked in the yard until sundown, then went up on the roof to tweak some new light and watch ISS skim the western horizon. It's so fast. Every single time. Noticed just how many neighbors have lights up this year from the roof. gives me hope we're working our way out of this year.

Wearing some epic SoCal fashion this chilly morning. My ugly vintage UGGs and a leopard print "Comfy" hoodie. Think blanket with sleeves. I'm going to have to rip it off my body at some point as the self-contained heat tends to make me prone to curling up in a ball and sleeping for hours. It's amazing, TBH, but I'd lose my job if I wore it at work. Napping on the keyboard and all that. I have miss Sadie wrapped up in a blanket next to me. Poor thing has no body fat on her and was shivering. She's as happy as a bug in a rug now.

First swim in December this year. Finally kicked the cough and it was a solid good session. 845 strokes, average heart rate was 160, a little high, but it was cold, it's been weeks and I was determined to knock it out. 21 minutes in peak. proves it. but I did it. missed it. my Zones app delivered the news that I am down 30 workouts this year, makes sense. I was out of commission almost 12 weeks. I got some random swims in there, but such is life. my walking mileage was up, but the caloric expenditure is down. as evidenced by the scale. we'll work on that now that I feel better. Looking at the numbers below, I have lost muscle mass and that's annoying. I guess I'm going to have to pick up some of these weights more often. Back muscles are a little sore this morning, too. That's a good feeling to me. Means I got a decent workout in rather than just flailing through the water which is what I had been doing when I was just pushing to push.

Plans for the day, move more stuff around in the yard. BF is working this morning, but may come by later. I need to run to Home Depot, but I have a feeling it's going to be absolute cluster and may just order it online for pickup later. Really not into unorganized holiday masses of humans. We drove near a mall yesterday and people are driving like idiots.

Feeling a little blue. But in a good way. Boy, was I shivering putting the pool cover on though. Full body shakes.

Life is good, quit making excuses. Enjoy the day.
