11:30 AM - Sunny out. Ran errands with my mom and then after going to the bank and pharmacy, stopped at the YMCA to go swimming with my mom. Started with 50 yard freestyle warmup, and then did 500 yard freestyle, 200 yards with the floatie, 500 yards free, and then finished up with freestyle after a water break. Was really crowded today with 2-3 swimmers in all five lanes! Then we hopped in the hot tub and listened to two old men talk about their vacations and seeing lions and tigers and bears oh my! Sent Emmy some daisies that got there there this morning as apology for the rough vacation. She was so surprised! I denied it at first that they were from me but she said when she saw the delivery person she said, "Yup! Those are Benn flowers!" (white and yellow daisies!) Am completing my online application and account for several jobs around the region. I am excited. I just want to get a job! Total for today was 1900 yards. I am getting better at this swim thing! Total Time: 47:00 Total Yards 1900 yards (1.079 mi) 4:00 PM - Read Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus this afternoon. A story kind of like "curiosity killed the cat" where a German doctor dabbles in witchcraft but ends up signing over his soul in blood to Lucifer and the Devil. Even though written so many hundreds of years ago, it still works today with people wondering what is out there and so quick to put down those that don't agree with the same ideas as them. I read it nonstop in an hour and highly recommend it. Marlowe writes with such energy that you can literally see the play performed before your eyes! 10:30 PM - Read first 45 pages of Edward Larson's A Magnificent Catastrophe and then picked up Harry from ski club at the school. 300 crunches before bed.
