PLENTY accomplished today

For starters, there's fresh coconut ice cream in the freezer, almost ready for consumption! (It WAS 90 degrees today, so don't judge me)

Stephen made chicken and squash on the George Forman grill, with a side of spinach.  MMMMM...

Prior to that, there were a lot of job websites visited, job applications completed, job phone calls placed.

I went for a swim.  Well, really, I tread water so slowly that to others watching me, I'm "meditating" or "peaceful."  It is exercise, because I'm not just floating to keep my head above water.  I am working.  But the neighbors verbally "envy" my state of peace.  I always invite them to join me, but I think too many folks are either afraid of the cold water, or afraid of the water in general.  One neighbor did make a phone call yesterday, and now the gate is unlocked on both ends, not just the end that's convenient to the resident who holds the key. {I mean, what's that about? We're in a controlled-access building, so why does one resident control when and from which direction the rest may access the pool?}

I did not nap today!  Even though I was awakened by Stephen's leg cramp at some ungodly 6-ish hour this morning (he was moaning on the floor, trying not to wake me, and would not allow me to assist him in any way), and then got up in the slightly-less ungodly 7-ish hour.

Stephen wrote.  This is always a good thing.  I don't measure his "success" by how much he writes; I'm happy when he writes, because he's happy when he writes.  And he's been writing daily.  I'm just mentioning it today.

I did a good bit online and on the phone regarding all things insurance.  We have probably 30 days from our move to get the California auto and renters policies in place; 60 days to enroll in California's health insurance plan; need to change my address on my life insurance policy, and that one can't be done online (why not, I wonder?).

We discussed building/installing our next round of bookshelves in the bedroom.  I'm not quite ready to go buy the lumber, which is why I made ice cream.  And that is the full circle of our day.
