I Want to Go Swimming!

The irony of my title is that we have a swimming pool in this building.   But the pool is very warm (water and air temperature) so it's not very appealing.   I wish I knew someone that owned a pool in Ankeny so I could go there some evenings and cool off.  The idea of going to the public pool isn't super desirable either and I don't know what the evening hours are anyway.   The Newton pool closes before 5pm most days!   Blah.

I've actually been working my ass off this week because of our department's prep for the next phase of construction.   I'm a little irritated because I'm only part time so hours of work this week don't get me anything.   We had to move all of our PE equipment out of it's storage closet and put the items in storage lockers that were recently delivered and assembled.   The department used some of my Summer Youth Fitness employees to help with the manual labor.   It still wasn't enough so I worked on the PE stuff.   We still have another closet downstairs to clean out but it's going to have to wait until Monday.  

The summer program is going well.   We have a couple troublesome kids and sadly they are in the same group.   It's really frustrating their group leaders.   I have been making a point to join the group often to help with the discipline.   The boys typically behave better when I'm present since I'm the "principal" of the program.   The employees are doing well and the first two weeks have gone by quickly.   A main issue has been the heat.   Even with having activities inside, it's still pretty warm and humid in the gyms.   I wish we could have June-like weather and save this heat for July.  

I have to work tomorrow evening (Friday) for DMACC and I'm not thrilled but I do need the income.   Not sure what is happening for the weekend besides Gavin working.   He said his job is kind of odd because his coworkers are adults and work full time.   I guess he's the only high school kid working in produce.   Most of his days involve waking up at 5:00am, going to football stuff (primarily lifting), coming home for awhile, and going to work.   Some days he goes out and hangs with friends.  I was a little jealous earlier in the week as they went to Big Creek to swim. 

I wish I had more to write about health and stuff but it's basically been sleep, sometimes sleep in, work, go to bed early, repeat.   I had hopes to play some tennis but it's just been too hot.   My main goal has been to stop eating earlier in the evening and eat breakfast.   Having an omelet in the morning has been pretty decent.   It's just tough to stop eating early in the evening.    Thankfully I don't watch a lot of TV so that helps with grazing. 

Time to go make the rounds!
