I’m feeling a little more tired than yesterday, but that’s expected. I still feel pretty well. I slept very well. I got the heater properly adjusted and I didn’t have to chase it hotter and colder all night.
I did a mile and a half on the treadmill again this morning. Yesterday there was a girl also in the exercise room. She was already in the room when I walked in and she was on the stationary bike. This morning, when I walked in, she was not there and I figured she probably only stayed one day. I chose a treadmill closer to the TV, which was also closer to the stationary bike.
After I started my walk, she came in and started pedaling the bike. Now I was right next to her. I have long said that women are more talkative than men. After trading a few pleasantries she struck up a conversation. I found out she comes from the Chicago area, is a network geek and here on a training session for the whole week. She has a 15-month old daughter and she is rather exasperated that he husband is complaining how much work it is to take care of the daughter while the she is away. They are looking for a house and the husband is ready to make an offer.
With some relief, my mile and a half came to an end and I escaped. As I was leaving the room she said the bike helps her work off the stress of the headache her husband is giving her.
Sometimes I wonder do I look like a giant ear. I could probably do well as a counselor, but after a while I would be forced to tell people, “Get a life!”
I’m looking forward to a productive day.
