lovely day part II

i was interrupted and never really finished yesterday's story... probably a good thing because the day took some interesting turns.. 
so i did the whole get up early have my coffee routine - same as i am doing now - then went out on the road to ride my bike, it was a peaceful morning and i am becoming more accustomed to the cars passing me.. i am really beginning to like the road rides - they just have to be planned for the right time of day and traffic...  yesterday's ride highlights - dead possum?  i suspect it will be all bloated and smelly today as i ride by especially after yesterday's rain; road kill?  not sure what it was but it was all over the road - which does remind me - last week i saw Bambi and his mom scampering along a side road as I was driving in my way to my ride, and I also passed a dying Bambi on the way home the other night - that was sad; diesel fumes?  this one always catches me off guard - i am riding along, a truck of some sort passes me and the next thing you know i am thinking of motorized scooters... the diesel fumes always remind me of sitting on a scooter in the winter time in Bermuda or having a bad seat on a boat...
i only covered 8 miles as i was in a rush to get to the gym to swim before the water aerobics class - i have observations of that that i will just need to share later
as i walked to the locker room i noted that all 3 lanes we taken - i thought i can somewhat take my time as i get ready, but as i entered the locker room i cam across another woman in her bathing suit and realised today would be a lane share day...  and that it was...  i did 10 sets of 4 before being booted out for the class... the highlight there was i did get a moment to have a nice chat with that other woman that was swimming... she is doing the ramblin rose in september - so has me thinking I should sign up - we shall see...
i had a nice lunch of grilled chicken and roasted kale with a side of ewan mcgregor - promised myself I would not get sucked in and lose lots of hours with the Long Way Down DVD that was delivered by Netflix... OH, I did a good job of spacing that out...
late in the afternoon - somewhat out of boredom, somewhat out of bad timing - i went on my run... i did a little over 1.5 miles - i dont think a run will happen today - no need for the TMI from the other post but the aches go on...
i also did about 45 minutes of yoga - before a fast moving high gusting storm blew threw and interferred with the rest of the day/afternoon/evening...
then we sat around with the power out for about 3 hours... oh joy!  i couldnt even get ewan out of the dvd player to watch on my computer!  sat around with some neighbors that were unexpectedly locked out due to the power outage...  ultimately the power came on and i stayed up too late watching the last 2 episodes i had on this dvd.
