Hubby and I start swim club tomorrow. It's an outdoor city pool, not far from where we live. About 15 minutes, one-way. It's for seniors, from 11:00-1:00. Two hours of laps and water aerobics is plenty to get us started. I always lose at least 20-30 pounds from the swim club. I love swimming. We use tons of sunscreen because we would definitely burn. Then we’ll swim on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We can’t go on weekends because the pool is overrun with kids. I go swimming for one thing. They take away from the swimming experience. Don't get me wrong, I love kids. I don't want them ruining our swim. Between 11:00 and 1:00, it's only old fart swimmers. 😂 I'm so excited. It's supposed to be 102° by Friday. It'll be great to cool off.

Does anyone else swim?

Things I'd Save If My House Were On Fire

This one is easy. I’d save my husband, my dog and finally, me. Everything else can be replaced. But not my family. (That includes my dog). Although I have some beautiful art in my home. I would miss that. Someday I’ll take some pictures of the art on the walls. I have 3 artists in my family.

1. Describe, in detail, what your life looks like 20 years from now. What do you do for fun? What does your family look like? Where do you live? Where do you drink your coffee in the morning?

This will be hard to answer. 20 years from now. I would be 94 and I have a huge doubt that I’ll around by then. What do you do for fun?
Get up in the morning. To be alive would work well.
What does your family look like?
They’ll all be old except the great-grandkids. To us they will be forever young.
Where do you live?
We hope to be in our house. My parents never went to a hospital or nursing home. They passed in the comfort of their home. We pray for the same.
Where do we drink our coffee. Hubby drinks coffee in the kitchen. We hope that won’t. Change. This was a little depressing. One doesn’t want to think about those thingfdf

Day 3

The first season of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy just wrapped up, and man, that was a season of television that did my heart good.

I didn't initially think this show was going to be for me. Hopefully it goes without saying that this wasn't for any of the range of awful reasons people have wanted to hang a grievance or grift on it. Media with protagonists in their teens and twenties just usually aren't my thing, and so while I was glad to see Trek branching out, I went in aware I wasn't the target audience and figured I'd watch an episode or two to see if any of the older characters appealed to me.

Well, they definitely did. Free-spirited, complex, centuries-old school chancellor Nahla Ake might be my favourite character I've met this year. I am in love with her. The Doctor (from Voyager) and Jett Reno (from Discovery) are both back in supporting roles with some really wonderful scenes, and Jett has a hot and hilarious Klingon/Jem'Hadar wife (Lura Thok) who is definitely worth moving across the galaxy for.

But to my surprise, I also really love the kids! Not all the moments landed for me, but I ended up legitimately invested in their coming-of-age stories and journey into becoming a little family. I don't want to spoil some of the things I loved, but I am always here for mentorship, adoptive parent-child relationships, and queer romance, and I wasn't disappointed. Add in some good solid science fiction and a lot of classic Trek optimism and belief in the work of building a better world, and this was exactly what I needed right now. My only real complaint is that it was such a short season.

Things I Wanted to Tell My Mother
Things I Wanted to Tell My Father

I was with both of my parents the last ten days of their lives. I was ready to tell them wonderful things. But instead, they talked to me. I just listened because I knew this would be the end of hearing their voices. I made some new memories. Besides they knew how much I loved them.

In what ways do you contribute to good in the world?

Like most people, we donate monthly to our three top causes. We're discussing adding two more
Places. We're not rich, but we do our share. I used to volunteer, but we don't do that now. My health isn't what it used to be.

sallymn has this on her timeline, and I thought it was a cool meme. As of today, I'm doing a cover a day for 7 days. I'm using pictures from the web, because I have tremors and can't take pictures worth a darn. It has to be a book you've read, you own, and so on. Have fun if anyone else does this meme.
