More flowers for the scrumble; the one on the left is a basic 5 petal flower. The other 3 are supposed to be some sort of flower, but they didn’t workout for me. I think they look lumpy. I did swim last night: 2650 m in 67 minutes. OA was a bust. It was just [...]

New Swimsuit I finished my latest swimsuit. I tried to take a picture with the timer, but they didn’t come out well. Or maybe I’m easily frustrated. Anyway, I’ve been saying for a long time that I don’t particularly care what I look like in swimsuits (vs bathing suits where I do care). I decided [...]
