The more I stay home, the more I get aggravated when I go out. Left the house today and saw my new neighbor children hanging out in front of MY house with their dog (no leash). Looking out the window I get the impression that they are not the kind of people to pick up the poop. Almost stopped to warn them, but I will wait until they do something bad before complaining. Also saw trash in their yard ALREADY. And they have a white van with Virginia plates. (We don't like them kind in my town). I always greet the thought of new neighbors with a great deal of trepidation. It is all just so horribly predictable. And I AM a glass half empty kind of gal. Then I got annoyed following an SUV that had a super reflective back window that was blinding me with the sun.
Went to the health club, although I really didn't want to. Gained weight this morning and almost felt like saying f*** it and going back to being a couch potato. It is so much easier than trying to work out EVERY DAY. Felt better after the fact and they really do have a nice shower and free products there. They also have this new kind of water fountain where you can fill up your water bottle. I haven't used it for that but apparently it is the latest thing.
Finished a book, my first by Salman Rushdie. I was forced to read it by my book club. The title is Luka and the fire of life and it is a fantastical young adult novel. Sort of clever, with a Dog named Bear and a Bear named Dog and Gods behaving badly. It involves a quest to get the fire of life to help his father recover. I experienced my usual reluctance in the face of science fictiony stories. It was written for his son, during the time of his hiding. I borrowed it from the Vineland Public Library (FIC Rushdie Salman).
