it's a day later than I expected

It’s hard getting back into the swim routine after being dry for so long. I’m spoiled now. I keep going back to bed for more sleep.

But I’m not supposed to swim alone so i have to hook up with someone. I have a friend who swims—well, she jumps a lot, prescribed jumps—every morning at 7:30, so I have joined her. It’s hard, now, not sleeping in or going back to bed, much easier to read the mail and the news and have some breakfast and sleep some more. I have fallen into bad, self-indulgent habits. I must get disciplined.

I began well this morning, but I was tired after my swim—only 4 lengths so far, plus exercises in the hot tub for my balance and leg strength. I’m not good for much now. I caught up on January birthdays, sending e-cards via Jacquie Lawson. I still haven’t finished my Christmas cards.

Maybe next year.
