Today's been a good day so far.

It being the beginning of a new month, I finally re-signed up at the gym, where I haven't been in, like, a year. And I did a (very) light workout.

And I feel better than I have in a long time.

The nice weather has something to do with that, too.

But I feel like my whole life has sort of turned into a giant tangled snarled knotted mess, and going to the gym is the first step in taking a pin and teasing one of the strings out.

I mean, my body's in such bad shape that I can't do things, which makes my emotions all a mess, which saps my ability to get my body together. . .

But not any more. Today's the day that changes. I can feel it.

when do you workout?

Sometimes it is easier when you have someone to workout with. Let me know what you're schedule is like.

Given that I haven't seen you in approximately forever, I'm in favor of this. As it is, I signed up at the Danvers YMCA, because it's half the price of the Malden or Medford ones. ($40 signup fee, $30 a month for the "health club membership", which just means that you get to use the nicer locker room, the one with the sauna. They've also got a pool table in there. Just sayin'. . . ) My plan is to drive Lis to work in Ipswich, dropping her off at 8:30, and working out in Danvers at around 9 AM. I don't know what hours you're working these days -- if you're working a lateish but not insanely late shift, would that work for you?

These days I work noon to 8 pm, Monday to Friday, more or less. Which means I can show up a little late or leave a little early. I can make a 9 am workout, but already have a gym membership in Malden. What is the cost of a guest or 1 day pass for the Y?

Also, how many days a week are you working out? Do you have the address for the Danvers Y?
