Of course it's my day off and I'm wide awake some 6:40, which is earlier than I usually get up on a weekday. It would have been perfectly OK had the sun been out and I could get an early start on the beach, but no the sun is long gone and the grey skies and rain of February are back again. Paul and I head out at 7:45 for our morning walk and it's raining! Hard. Boo. I put Paul on the bus (ha) and decide I'll get my exercise in one way or another, so I head to the pool which I have been meaning to do for sometime now.
July 14th, yes MY birthday, there's a 2.2 k open water swim in Shek O I want to do along with a bunch of our friends. I've been meaning to start 'training' but was told by my 4th grade student that the water is really cold. Hit the pool at 8 am, and what a liar!! The indoor pool is 28 and the outdoor pool is 26! The water is perfect and there was only one other person there. Well except for the crew of 6 lifeguards. Ohhh and the pool fee has been halved as of May; only $15! I had such a lovely time swimming laps that the hour just flew by! I think I shall start swimming 2/3 days a week before work!
After an hour I was pretty tired/hungry so I hit the jacuzzi in the locker room for a minute, showered and was back up in the comfort of my apartment. Hmmm I hope our new place has a pool downstairs. Riiight. Well with this new higher paying job of Paul's we can afford to live somewhere a little nicer than I had resigned myself to in my head....
Came home and whipped together a delicious protein rich breakie. SCrambled eggs with sesame oil mustard and sricacha topped with the freshest mushiest yummiest avocado. Perfection.
Now I have to head to the beach in the rain anyway for some dboat fun, then home for hopefully a nap and then back down to the island for a party. Paul and I met this guy Llyon at my jewelry wine tasting Wednesday and he was kind enough to invite us to his dinner party tonight. Should be lovely....except he lives in a get this, 7th floor walk up! ha who knew that existed!
