Monday

And traffic is back again but not as bad as I had it in my imagination. I left here at 7:15, swam and, so, hit the big traffic at 9:10 and the road was full but not slow and no stopping. It was fine. Nice.

There were a couple of resolution-ers at the pool but not what I expected. There was one poor guy who looked out of shape* enough that today's pool visit could have been a resolution. He came out of the locker room in his suit with his towel and took a pre-swim shower and then sat on the stairs into the pool for a good 10 minutes with elbows on knees and head in hands and finally he got up and walked back into the locker room.

I came right home. Tomorrow, I'm going to stop at the hair cutters. Wednesday is my nail appointment. One day I need to whip into the fabric shop and drop by the library and my supply of toilet paper is getting perilously low. And I need gas. That's my week as it looks right now.

Friday would be my normal bear delivery day but I think I'll wait until Monday and take my brother to meet the bear adoption lady.

I got sleepy very early last night and finally turned out the lights at 9:30. I felt like I didn't sleep that well but my fitness band said I did so I think I'll go with the band. It's tech. It knows better than me.

Today will be the usual - doll making, bear knitting.

That guy at the pool sounds like my soulmate. I have actually gone to the gym, did nothing and left. What happened was I told myself that the biggest hurdle was getting there. I pledged to myself that I just had to get there, and once there if I still just wasn't feeling it I could just leave...and so I did. Hey, or maybe this guy has anxiety issues and is working through his anxiety with progressive steps.

So, lemme ask ya. How would you feel if someone - someone every bit as out of shape as you were feeling - a stranger who was working out - came up and asked if I could help or somehow let you know that I understand...

I really wanted to say something to this guy to let him know it was ok and great that he was there. But, I didn't want to scare him.

Should I have gone ahead and done it?

I don't know, when the lady on the elevator told me that bariatric surgery was the best thing she ever did for herself, that was her opening, I was a lotta put off. I think a friendly 'hello, haven't see you around here before'...would be OK, but I'd be embarrassed to learn that it was noticed that I didn't get in.

Ok, gotcha. thanks!
