Michael Phelps’ face before his 200m butterfly semifinal. I think my favorite doctored gif of this is the one on this list where laser beams are shooting from his eyes and lighting Chad Le Clos’ hair on fire. š (Serves him right for antagonizing Phelps!)
Breathing. I’m fighting a sinus infection that is messing with my asthma so I am definitely not sleeping well (even with the nectar of the gods) and I’m pretty sure that at least one lobe of my lung has been coughed up in the last few days. I’m compulsively checking the expiration dates on all my Albuterol because I don’t want yet *ANOTHER* Urgent Care visit to get meds refilled.
USA Women’s Gymnastics. I know the gold medal tonight in the team final was pretty much a foregone conclusion but OH. EM. GEE!!!! I heard them say that Simone Biles only had to score a 7.591 on her floor routine to win and in order to score that low, she’d have to mess up three of her four tumbling passes and fall off the mat! (She scored a 15.8 which was no surprise.) I kind of wish Laurie Hernandez could compete in the all-nbcaround because she’s incredible, especially as her first international competition as a senior is this Olympics! I cannot wait to see where she goes from here in her gymnastics career.
Today’s weather. It was below 70F all day which was divine — it’s such a nice change from temps in the 80’s and 90’s (if not higher) in California.
Raspberry lemonade from Crystal Light. I’m having to push the fluids and this is making it bearable. The extra vitamin C isn’t hurting either.
Go love up Bonnie, babystylista, and the others.
