I did my best, it wasn't much, I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

No, I'm not done yet. Just in case you were wondering. The SU asks me at least once a day if the house is ready yet. Does he think I might not mention it? Maybe he thinks I will keep cleaning and working because I love housework just that much. Not. But soon I will be done. And then I can move onto fun stuff, like applying for a mortgage for the new house.

I did have a bit of fun today, besides cleaning out the algae-ridden pond. Today was the first day of swim team practice. EM is now swimming in the 9-10 age group, which means that races are 50m instead of 25m. MM is still in the 8&u group. Two age groups, two practices. Twice the fun this year. Longer for me to swim before picking up YM from daycare.

Swimming did bring up a less than happy thought - I can no longer avoid going out and buying a new swimsuit. So now I have to go shopping. Soon. Grrrr. And of course it won't be for just one suit. I need the serious swim suit, for laps, as well as the hanging out at the pool suit for normal wear. I am not certain why I have such angst (ok, that's a stretch) over swimsuit shopping. I buy lingerie without any stress and usually the lingerie is much more revealing. Perhaps if swimsuits were sold in pink, fluffy stores with incandescent lighting, it would be less stressful.
