Oh, the joy of it!!! I KNEW it!! 20 minutes into my walk at the gym and Ugly American came in, armed with his phone, talking loudly to someone and already making his way to the end of the gym and back. I was sitting on the bench, waiting for Brian to finish. He passed me, looked at me and said, “Good morning.” I mumbled it back. I’m afraid he lives here and I’ll have to deal with this the best way I can.
Otherwise, though, I increased the incline on the treadmill and burned more calories than usual, so he’s good for SOMETHING…

I had a good session of old lady yoga stretches just before starting this. I took a good, long time, really breathing into the stretches. It amazes me that I can be so stiff when first getting down on my mat, and how my body finally ‘lets go’ a bit as I breathe after getting into a position.

I was going to tell you that the weather people were wrong about the rain, but as I was typing, the rain started. It isn’t a hard storm now, though, just a quiet rain. It’s starting to pelt against some of my windows now, though, so I’ll keep an eye out for leaks. Last night I had a power blip and spent a good amount of time resetting my air filters, one clock, my TV, and my computer. (That was why I only wrote two posts yesterday.) It was only a blip, though, and didn’t ruin my evening – just took some doing to get everything up and running again.

I’m looking forward to spending time at the cafe this afternoon. I have a couple of ideas for sketches to start.
