So my sister thinks I’m overdoing a little in the bathroom and the contractor’s wife (my sister’s friend Wendy) was looking through the pland and was wondering why I was getting such a nice shower. Tile? Fancy faucets? She thought I should go for the fiberglass unit with the cheap motel fixtures. But it’s my bathroom and I doubt I’m moving out soon. Sure there’s plenty of other things I can spend my money on, but why not splurge?

Today at the gym we did the “Cindy” workout. I’m pretty good at pullups, pushups, and unweighted squats, but who wants to string together 5 pullups, 10 pushups, and 15 squats for TWENTY MINUTES? The last time I did it, according to the big board, I did 13 rounds. This time I did something like 18. I say, “Something like 18,” because I’m so tired that I can’t remember what I did exactly. I know the fastest guy at the gym did 28, but he’s a nutbag. I think I was able to do it because of my diet: I had a salad at lunch on Monday and Tuesday but today I had a taquitos plate. I had a hard time staying awake in meetings after that and I had a lot of meetings this afternoon.

Oh, and just to make things interesting we decided to bet on the outcome of one of the couples in the gym. They’re a new couple and much more fun to tease because of it. We spotted the woman 4 rounds because she’s only been coming in a month or two and the guy has been in since I started back in January some time. So I bet on the woman. THMFIC bet on the guy. If I won I got a ride home (which I always get anyway) and if he won I had to mop the floor (which I always do anyway). I WON. So, the woman is now my favorite nurse. I’m sure this will get me the stink-eye from the other nurses in the gym, my neighbors the nurses, and probably even my ex-girlfriend, but none of them ever won me a ride home (which I always get anyway).
