Biting the hand that feeds me
Jan. 30th, 2021 09:55 amWhile on my treadmill, the lawyer in the book I'm listening to got attacked in a Kroger parking lot and beat to a pulp. Then one of my little Dash's burned my thumb this morning. I can relate.
I've spent way too much time and energy going back and forth in this gym decision. And I'm done. No Go. It's too much money for one thing. I could afford it and if I really wanted it, there would not be much of a debate so clearly I do not. The pool is too lame but mainly it's the staff. It feels like I a begging them to join. I'm not comfortable with that.
I feel like swimming would be a 'have to' in order to justify the cost and that would suck the joy out of it. I'll wait. The city pool will open eventually. The West Seattle bridge will open in a way longer eventually but maybe I'll go the long way round to my old pool once in a while, eventually. It would be fun to swim again but not worth that gym to do it.
My investments took a deep dive yesterday. A $13,000 dive. Yep. Ugly. But, it's happened before and it will happen again and just like celebrations for good investment days, funerals for bad ones are silly. But, I have to say, that losing that much is not fun and the after market action is as bad this morning. At least I didn't lose as much as Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. Poor guys.
No big action around here today. Crochet and TV and maybe some mid day listening to my book. I'm worried about the lawyer. I have a few little house chores but no need to go anywhere. Biggie's on duty in his tree. And that's the current state of us.
