At least now I know

Our tour of the hotel and office building was really interesting. But a major bummer. The pool is 1. the hotel pool so it will be stocked with kids on vacation and 2. way too small and 3. not configured for laps at all. The 'gym' turns out to be a small workout room. So, I cannot imagine what in the hell they are thinking of selling memberships to.

It's about 20 feet long or less and maybe 3 lanes wide but two of the lanes are 5 feet shorter because of this weird barrier thing. If I were the only person in the pool, and it was an emergency, maybe. But, no. That is not going to be a swim option for me. Oh well. I'll save a bunch of money since I won't have to pay for a membership. Sigh.

On the up side, the restaurant is going to be great. It will not be open in December like they (the restaurant management) had hoped and probably not even by January. But, someday.

This is from the top floor looking into the football/soccer stadium.



This is also from the top floor just to the right of the picture above. The pink arrow is pointing to my building. My unit is in that top row of rectangles but hidden from the shot (by the building AND The Tree That I Hate).



My house is very clean and I love that. I got all my errands run except one. I totally forgot to grab my change for the change machine. But, it's right by the library and when I take all the sewing books I checked out today back, I can do the coins then.

I got home and worked on my coat and like a fool did not baste the main seams. It's a coat so I sewed them tight to make sure they didn't come apart. Sigh. Now I need to make a change and so have to pick them out. It's a bitch. I got it half done. Tomorrow...

It's only 4:30 but it's dark as night out with wind and rain. And so it feels much later. Like dinner time later.

It's too bad that new pool won't work out, since it's so close to your house. I wonder how many memberships they'll be able to sell with a facility like that.

Honestly, I don't get it. But, at least now I don't have to worry about it :)

I'm sorry about your pool. My current gym (YMCA) is small but we have quite a happy family using it. I take a class every day. If I wanted to swim, I'd have to drive 22 miles to the nearest pool. Just not going to do that. After a year of dickering around over sites, they have begun to clear the land to build our new Y right behind our building. It will have a pool, indoor track and various workout rooms. The owner of the nearby grocery store (who provides the building we currently use) has donated three million dollars for this project and there is hope it will be finished later in 2018. I can see the cleared land out the window and just dream.

I want to swim every day so much!

A handful of the really intense lifters I've come across in DC are so dedicated to working out that they have memberships to several gyms, i.e. one near work and one near home. I think that's nutty, but then again they have 7% body fat and could break me in half.

What a disappointment, I thought it was going to be perfect for you. At least you know now

I can't understand why they think they can sell memberships if their facilities are a small hotel pool and a small workout room. It is a shame that the facilities there aren't useful to you. Being able to walk to the pool would have been so convenient for you.
