23:18 Trying
I wound up not able to swim Peaks to Portland again this year. Everything seemed to be going very well and then I woke up at 6 and realized I didn't have my contact lenses. I tried Amanda's out, but at -4.5, they were 2.5 points off of my prescription and it just didn't seem safe. I've played it over in my head a few times, and while I think I probably could have done it, Open Water 101 says don't fuck around with open water. The day turned out to be glassy smooth with high visibility. But I definitely wouldn't have known that heading out on the ferry. At the point where I would have headed back that morning, I would have had to touch base with Dirk who would have loaded a kayak on a car and paddled out to Peaks. Not worth it. Next time just remember all the things.
Also, I'm trying to get back into using GTD to get things done, but I'm not being very successful. I think one of the issues is that there are some daily tasks that I don't have any trouble keeping tabs on, and then there's everything else. What things belong in my gtd file? Everything, you say? But what about the thing I'm already doing? Shit.
