Yesterday writing in my notebook I was falling asleep so I went to bed I had another 2 hour nap! CRAZY. I felt cut off and bewildered when I woke up. So I walked to Stop and Shop and bought bananas and cornmeal. I ran into 3 people on my walk home. I had real visits with 2 of the three. Matt the mailman and Lucille's husband Bob (a former school principal). Just what I needed!! 

Then I made corn pancakes for dinner. We recently restored our pancake maker the 1960 electric Frying pan made by Hoover that needed a new cord. The pancakes are buttermilk whole wheat pancakes. Fabulous. Bon Appetit had the recipe and I made a few adaptions (whole wheat flour and corn oil in place of butter). The recipe said it serves 10. Bill and I laughed and ate the whole batch.

I had a fabulous 2 swim classes and was able to swim for a half hour afterwards since my shoulder felt good being used. I stayed in the water--until 8:45. (The pool stays open until 9PM now) Then I couldn't sleep because I was so HUNGRY!! So at 10 :30 I warmed a bowl of my Portuguese kale soup and had soup and tahini on toast sandwich.

This morning is the make up day for testing. I can only think of one or two who might show up. Then I have to meet with the council woman and the dog park lady about the dog poop problem in our city.

I am just relieved that my shoulder is recovering. My low threshold of pain is a lucky thing because I usually can stop and recover before there's a big problem. My friend Suzy swam on Cape Cod last summer and had no idea she went beyond her limits. She tore her rotator cuff and had to have surgery for it. One of the problems of swimming out your most intense and crazed ya-ya's is you can injure yourself.
