Today was rough. My sleeping schedule is, in a word, fractured. After two weeks off, stroke clinic started up again on Monday, so I swam the masters practice, then stroke clinic at noon, then at 9:15PM I played in a rec volleyball game (we have five more weeks of that). And while stroke clinic has become almost 100% technique for me (because my coach knows I'm swimming masters, so she's not making me do any distance/endurance stuff now) and volleyball isn't really all that physically taxing, staying up past 10:00PM on Monday night messed me up supremely. I didn't manage to fall asleep until almost 2:00AM, then got up at 7:30 for work. I crashed hugely when I got home last night, passing out at 6:30. But then I woke up about three hours later, mostly due to my full bladder and growling stomach.

And couldn't get back to sleep until 1:00AM.

So 5:00 rolled around and it was really hard to get up. I got to practice about five minutes late, so I had to cut my warmup set short (and then tacked the pulling plus some more onto the end to make up for it).

Also, my asthma is still kicking my ass. I've been trying like hell since January 1 to get something from the new insurance company so I can actually go get my meds, but so far it's not happening. I tried last week and was told we wouldn't know the information until Monday. Then, when I got the info yesterday, I found out that we may or may not even be entered into the system yet. I tried to go get the prescription filled yesterday, but the pharmacy staff at the grocery store was so rude and incompetent that I couldn't tell if the problem was the insurance company or them doing it wrong, but I obviously didn't get my drugs last night.

Today I called my normal retail pharmacy and asked them to transfer the prescription, and gave them my info. I'll call before I go pick it up tonight, but I'm really hoping it goes through. This morning I got a stitch in my side and it would not go away. After that first 2 x 150 free I put fins on and used those for the rest of the set, because I was really starting to hurt.

Anyway, yardage. Progress. We had four people in our lane today (Dave, who I normally share with, and Tom from Monday was back, plus another guy whose name I don't recall) and I was second fastest (even without the fins), so that was fun and interesting. At this point I think Dave and/or Alex (when/if he comes back) is/are going to get moved into lane two, since when Laurie is back on Friday we could have as many as five (or even six!) in lane one. Masters is growing like crazy!
