That would take the entertainment out of it! Hrm.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Just something pretty simple so I don't have to grab the various machines' handles while I exercise, but can have my heart rate right there on the display. I'm trying to be all cardio girl, and I'm window shopping. Unless Sport Chalet has them, in which case maybe shopping shopping because of my gift card.

or if it does, it doesn't do it loudly.

sports chalet does have them. Mine is a polar/timex watch with the HRM on the band. It's worked well enough, back when I did cardio machines.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You can tell by how the reservoir is seated if it is a bottom-filler. Had I known I'd have a cat who attacks water bubbles, I wouldn't have bought the first one I did.

INteresting.

Teachers: you've got to watch this clip from the Daily Show about guns in schools. [link] (I think that will open the player right up. If not, it's "Class Warfare," on the left side of the Comedy Central homepage.)

ita, if I can find mine, you're welcome to use it. I think I know where it is.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Urg. Back from sushi with ex-boss. We got on to a kind of sensitive topic, and she said something that...well. I know we come at these things from very different places, so our conversation is full of "I know this isn't how you see it buts". She went a little too far tonight, I think without meaning it. Not a little, way too far, on something that is very, very sensitive.

And I did call her on it. Sort of, I guess. What I said was, "until you said X, we were okay." But she was all "what did I say, you know I wouldn't have said anything to hurt you" about it and...explaining what had upset and offended me would have made the whole thing worse, you know? I just really didn't want to have that conversation, and hashing the whole thing out would have meant putting our worldviews in more explicit opposition than normal. So I basically said I must have misheard, which she didn't buy for a second, and said so, but was okay with going along with me there.

I'm still, obviously, not okay with it, and needed to vent a little. But I think it was the right call for the moment and for our relationship.

Sorry for being so cryptic. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel up to going into the whole thing.
