Wednesday: Swim and Pure Barre and Crossword Cruelty

Doesn't my food look great!! Parsips!!

Before I discuss my swim workout today (which I forgot to photograph, so really do not remember much of; for this reason, do not get too excited) I would like to address my blog post for a moment to the person, who I can only heretofore refer to as the Crossword Devil who Ruined (with a capital R) my evening.

On Wednesdays I look forward to picking up the latest copy of the City Paper. I look through the City Paper for cultural events, interesting articles and I save the crossword puzzle to work on the couch in front of the television after I put Young Sloan to bed.  The crossword puzzle is not too hard, but challenging enough to make me feel that I have really accomplished something when I put it down before I go to bed.

WELL, today I picked up my usual copy of the City Paper from the top of the pile as I was leaving the gym.  I flipped through it a bit before setting it aside.  When night fell, I turned to the crossword puzzle and creased the page just so to begin work, AND WHAT DID I FIND????  Someone had already completed the crossword puzzle in its entirety and set it back on the top of the pile of papers.  WHO DOES THAT??

Does this person also put used napkins back into the dispenser at fast food establishments?? Does this person also put used toilet paper back on the roll so as not to waste a bit??  Might this person put a bitten apple back in a fruit bowl as if nothing were amiss??  I am all for conserving our resources, and I made certain to tell the other City Paper reader in our household not to pick up another lest we unnecessarily have two.  But honestly, working the crossword puzzle and putting it back in the stack. Honestly.

Anyway, in other news, I had a lovely swim.  I swam about 3000 yards and devoted some of my time to kicking without fins in an effort to improve my weak kick.  I got in a Pure Barre workout at home and outside of the crossword drama, it was a nice day!!
