Before I went to bed last night I made a big cup of hot tea. I felt tired enough to need some caffeine so I could go to sleep. It helped.
Naturally I woke up tired this morning.
Breakfast at The Barbecue House. And then we went for a swim. It felt miserable. I was tired and sore and haven’t done anything since Monday. I was finding excuse after excuse to not swim.
I actually did a few hard laps. I found that I can swim 25 yards at about the same pace of the pool record — for the 50 yard race. So I’m twice as slow, which is fine. César Cielo, the guy that holds that is Brazil’s most decorated swimmer, with three Olympic medals, six World Championship gold medals and two world records.
I think I was ready to fall asleep in the pool, too. But I did manage to get in 2,150 yards before they closed.
Spent the rest of the afternoon fighting off a nap. Spent the evening wandering around the grocery store looking for naan. Finally one of the young ladies that works there told me it was in the bakery, “By the thing next to where the soft drinks are.”
Well, she was wrong, but she was in the right neighborhood. She was also eager to help, and she actually knew what the stuff was, so she gets points for that. And now we have enriched and whole wheat naan.
So, as Fridays go, pretty great.
Tomorrow it’ll be in the 60s. I’ll be awake for that.
