Second session and sat behind some swimmers!!! These guys decided to jump when home team was about to sweep the 500-yard free. Just know all the shorties behind them didn’t witness that last yard lol but all was well. There’s nothing like the swimming community and really no sport like swimming!!!

Finally in an insanely great dual swimming meet. Husband to wife: “Whaaat I missed the race? Why didn’t you tell meee?”

Yes bruh you were on your phone. It was a 50-yard fly, and the Olympian threw a 20.52. Always a blink-and-miss situation lol.

Dolly Parton is never allowed to leave us. She’s a national treasure and Imagination Library is one of the greatest gifts anyone has ever given this country.

Homework at the afterschool today was even numbers vs. odd numbers, and my student said, “you just have to draw sticks then count 2 best friend, 2 best friend, 2 best friend, and if in the end, 1 is left without a best friend, it’s an odd number.” Right!!!

Me and the skirt I had to nip and tuck. I’ve downsized from 2 to 0. (Not intentional. I know, I’m working on it! 😭)

At the gym earlier tonight. Did precor. Totally forgot my locker’s number and was told to go back later. So now I’m back in my pjs waiting for 12 when all lockers are opened lol

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

I still get updates about this cat, and sometimes I’m scared as I only want good news. So far, most GoFundMe updates I get are good news: finally in remission, finally getting chemo and radiation or finishing them. I hope everyone gets to ring the dang bell!!!

Louise @sstrohem.bsky.social · May 16

Donated a little to a cat having chemo and I get updates from her human from time to time. Cute.

Louise @sstrohem.bsky.social · 15d

Question from my 1st grader in the afterschool program? “Do you know what 1+1 is? 2!!!” And she’s great at counting forward and back.

Louise @sstrohem.bsky.social · 17d

Wished my mentor a happy birthday and a l’shanah tovah. She’s now a bubbie x 3!!! Gotta love grandmas!!! Those grandkids are lucky to be growing up with her.
