Marlowe (the cat) is making herself scarce. She’s still not feeling well. I wish she would come home regularly so we could give her her medicine.

Another 7:00 a.m. swim

I got to swimming almost on time after a bit of early morning blogging.

I did breaststroke to warm up, then extended flutter kick, and finally some front crawl:

• 5 x 50 breast stroke = 250
• 3 x 50 extended flutter kick = 150
• 3 x 50 front crawl = 150

Total, 500 yd.
Worked on kicking as well as breathing.

I’m still learning to concentrate on my breathing, turn my head properly, and keep going more than a length or two. I’ll be swimming with Oannes Swims again on Sunday morning.

On the way home I picked up and dropped off dry cleaning.

This afternoon I got some HTML work for a recruiting agency.
