Comments: I really wanted to sleep today, but the neighbor’s barking dog on one side and the other side neighbor drilling, made it a bit difficult. A good dose of pancakes and eggs, a pile of pillows and ear plugs helped me right to sleep. THEN, through my ear plugs and pillows, I hear ‘beep beep beep’, ‘beep beep beep’…. well, the same watch that, a week after I got it got moisture inside so I could hardly ever read it, then yesterday got stuck on the date, unable to get the time up, now, randomly beeps! I only got the watch a couple of months ago… I may have even made an entry about it…. I have the worst watch luck, this IS my ummmnth watch, who really knows, but I DO have 5 on my shelf waiting to be sent to Timex, maybe they will fix them?? So, I hit the beeping watch on the counter, possibly stopping the beeping?… only to chip off the plastic side piece. Now they will never believe I JUST GOT IT ~ I just looked on my CC printout and see that I bought it on July 14th, so, I’ve had it only 7 weeks, it didn’t even last thorugh my training, which is why I purchased it in the 1st place… boo hoo
Oh Yeah, my swim was great, the water was calm but murky! My landlord, Tito warned me to be careful of jellyfish today. Well, I usually get stung a few times during a swim, but I’ve learned that, the sting goes away after a few minutes, and leaves no mark, so, although a bit uncomfortable, no biggie. TODAY, no stings!!!
