senoritafishThe kids don't have summer school this year because of budget cuts, so we're trying to make an effort to go over to John's mom's place; it's a senior mobile home park, but kids are allowed to use the pool between 9am and 1pm. Given that the city pool here costs $5 for free swim, which is pretty much prohibitive for 3 kids, not to mention adults, it's just about worth it to go over to Long Beach. Getting myself a new swimsuit though, that was traumatic. Yeesh. I've got to start eating better - and less. I really wanted some women's board shorts like I remembered seeing a couple of years ago but I guess they only make them for skinny people. So back to Target, and since I wanted something a little bit longer, I'm stuck with the ones with skirts for now. Maybe I'll look for something online later.
It's been a while since I've really been swimming. We were only in the pool for maybe an hour and half, not really doing anything more strenuous than towing the kids around on those floaty, noodley things, yet afterward my limbs felt pretty noodley themselves. Home to dry and rest a bit and then thought we'd check out the final book sale at Acres of Books in Long Beach (thank you Mike).
Truth is, I thought it had already closed long ago. Unfortunately I didn't have $25 for a crate, so couldn't go inside, but I took some pictures around the outside to remember the place by. I hadn't been in there for ages since before it closed, but I remember being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of books up to the ceiling, faint smells of dust and cat pee in some places, as well. I wasn't in there much, but it's sad to think it'll be completely gone soon.
