Started the day with an early walk, out before 7:30 and back before 9. Then I went to Joanne’s room and helped her with a simple issue on her Mac, getting the backup drive set up.
Tidied up my apartment for the housekeeper. Joined the writers meeting as usual. That wrapped about 11:30. Usually at that time I would find the housekeeper waiting outside my door, but not today. It seems somebody didn’t come to work so they were running behind. A different housekeeper showed up abut 1pm though, so that was ok.
Read and played the guitar a little until suppertime. Then: exercise! In the middle of the night last night, I had a realization. I want to use the machines in the gym twice a week. I have been trying to go down early, 7:30am or so, and I keep running into problems with some of my neighbors who are also early birds and like to use the machines then. Well, duh, I realized at 3am, that I have a big block of time, from after dinner to bedtime, when I am usually not doing anything scheduled, just watching TV. Why not hit the gym after dinner?
So I tried that tonight and by golly. Nobody else using the machines. Except one person: Joanne, walking on the treadmill, which apparently she likes to do after dinner. I had no idea. She has the machine set to 3.5mph. This is a woman who routinely walks 2-3 miles on the streets every day and who was in the line dance class this afternoon as well. Anyway, there was no conflict, I didn’t need the treadmill so I got on with my routine.
