Kicking and Screaming
So...
I finally dragged my ass away from the computer long enough to go to the gym tonight.
get in my car and as I go to make the right turn off of my street, there is an unfamiliar double speed *tick, tick, tick* from my turn indicator. So from the time I got home from VOTING (happy election day Canada) and leaving to go to the gym, I burned out a right turn signal... How did that happen? I am really starting to detest this car.
Ok... So off to the gym.. I will deal with this tomorrow.
Get there... Do my warm-up, like a good, work-out freak... And head to the strength training equipment.
NO problem... Get through that easily enough.... If you want to call strength training easy... But whatever...
Then I go to the elliptical... Away from the other people...Because I am not feeling very social and it is getting late.. .There aren't that many people around to begin with.
Then... 2 girls come to the machines beside me. One has perfume on and is swingin her hair around...
this really wouldn't be a big deal... Except I have an allergy to perfume, and the inability to take allergy pills right now. So I am on the elliptical, losing my ability to breathe, and it's not because I am "booking it"... It's because there is a girl who chose not to pay attention to the 'scent-sensitive' rule at the gym.
I said something to one of the gym staff members who walked by - he asked them to move, and made a joke to put the onus on him, I still had to cool down and leave the gym.
It is a little hard to have a good cardio work-out when your throat is closing up and your lungs hurt...
I was very tempted to turn into the McDonald's drive-thru as my night was ruined anyway... But that would have involved a right turn... And that would have made me sadder...more sad... bitter... whichever is more grammatically correct... cause I don't know which is the right way to describe the emotion involved...
But I didn't turn...
I just went straight on home.
I think I should shower and go to bed.

Thanks Mesabi! the interesting thing is I have never been a fan of Mc D's - so it isn't a hard thing to resist... the Subway is downt hat road... that can be tougher... and I haven't been there in AGES!!!
As for the PM... well... I must say, he is the lesser of the 2 major evils... but the 4 candidates SUCKED... so... it was a matter of voting for who sucked the least. The surprise was the former PM resigning after his defeat... that was weird... what a sore loser... hehehe

I'm allergic to perfume too! I'm SOOOOO glad someone else is, because I was feeling like a freak!
CC: I hate it... the things I am allergic too... but perfume, that annoys me the most... there are so many people that are allergic here. There are scent sensitive work places now... it is nice... they can't do it in the casino.. but our offices are... it is cool.
Sounds like your on top of your game...I need to work out myself!
