While the world, especially Amerika, continues to sit on its collective thumbs on what to do, what to open, etc. I finally gave up and joined the Planet Fitness a few blocks from my house since I seriously doubt the January deadline will happen. The pro-spreader attitude of promoting FreeDumb in Texas will continue to make things a mess and trust me, we will have another massive power grid failure. Forecasts for this Winter are pointing toward more rain/snow/ice than usual.
I know Planet Fitness is often a lazy target for comedians, usually over its cleanliness which I’m guessing is an exaggeration given my first pair of visits. The place’s overuse of purple can make you a bit sick. So far I don’t mind it. Free Wi-Fi. The locker room isn’t freezing and smells like a dirty sock (this would be the YMCA near my job). I just wish they didn’t have all those TVs in front of me when I’m on the indoor cycle. Even when they’re not tuned to Faux News, the other corporate-excuse for “information,” is annoying. PF uses Precor equipment which isn’t as nice as the gear my employer’s gym uses; you can watch cable TV directly on them.
The upsides are better though. I recently bought the new Apple Watch 7, see if my Oxygen-blood levels matter. Jennifer said it isn’t such a big deal. Most people run between 95-100 percent. Given how heavy I’ve gotten (don’t ask), I wouldn’t be surprised if mine is closer to the 95 level as I get winded easily from a couple flights of stairs. I’m definitely going gangbusters from one angle, I bought up a slug of same-colored towels from Target. I just don’t understand how many people just go home to shower, getting all the sweat and ick on their car seats as they stink up the vehicle with funk.
Next up. Revising the spreadsheet I’ve tracked everything in for over 10 years. I have a sad feeling, I’m going to find some glaring errors auditing it.
