I wanted to use the recumbent bikes at the gym, but my legs are too short. I can't get my leg up high enough to get over the central part, and I got very tired of being the awkward middled-aged fat person in front of all the spandexed college students.

A lot of the machines are geared for someone at least three inches taller than me, and the free weight areas are full of steroid junkies flexing at each other. And the women's section doesn't have many weights, and that's full of spandexed young mothers bitching about their friends and pretending they can still attract the steroid junkies.

Apparently our motivations are all on strike in Europe.

Tell me about it. Everything is made for someone taller than me.

There's a separate women's section at your gym? I'm very grateful that this gym doesn't have any steroid junkies or tiny little spandexed women, it's mostly women in their 40s through 70s, so I don't feel intimidated to be there.

The separate section was nice, then I felt like I should be ashamed of myself, so I went out in the larger section. I get ignored more in the main gym, which I like. The older people show up in the middle of the day. I generally go in the evening, when all the people trying to get laid show up.

I kept putting off working out because I didn't have a sports bra (lame excuse) and now I have one. But I still have done much. I have a bunch of dvds I just need to move some furniture around.

So, there was a mix up at my pharmacy. I called to find out the status on Abilify. The person on the phone said they had no record of it. I physically had it in along with the Klonopin refill (which I can't get yet) and I told the lady that and that the Abilify would need a pre auth. Nope she says, no record. She talked to the pharmacist and he'll call to get it again.

Since the pharmacist is done the block I went over there and talked to them in person. Turns out the person who took it put it in the system, saw that it needed a pre authorization, deleted it out of the computer and then did something with the physical copy I'm not sure of. But the pharmacist was apologetic and said he'll get the ball rolling.

Oh wow, got a winner on OKCupid. First message: "you wana go out with me? male 39 single and not that ugly for you...:) "

I checked out his profile, just in case it's worth overlooking that stellar intro...cuz maybe it's just me reading it as insulting? Like, I should be lucky to be getting any interest from any guy?. Then i get another msg: "male 39 single ,bolding...lol and not that hot for you...:)"

I. Don't. Even.

Shir, thinking of you and your family. Stay safe.

Good grief, askye. Glad they figured it out. I'll be interested to hear about your experience with Abilify, I took it on top of Cymbalta.

This soup is tasty, but it's mostly an excuse to eat garlic bread. NOM.

Good news - D's surgery got scheduled. Not sure if good or bad news - it's scheduled for next Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. So, days off for him to recover. But... holiday of pain, maybe.

Also, I hope I misunderstood him, b/c we're supposed to go to his brother and brother's fiancee for T-giving, and I think he said they're getting food from Popeye? OH UH UH. That is... not Thanksgiving. It's a tailgate. I'm just venting; if that's the case, it'll be fine, it's not about the food so much. But... a little tradition would be nice.

Then i get another msg: "male 39 single ,bolding...lol and not that hot for you...:)"

Bolding? WTF? I am still irked the girl took her profile down and didn't email or text me or anything. Hrmph. I'm so tempted to text her and be like "so, guess that whole "Raincheck" thing was a NSM?" Urgh. But at least I rarely get weirdos like that. (I did have one who when I replied saying I didn't think we were compatible, said "you're ugly anyway, and probably a whore like the town bicycle" It was so strange.

Popeye's is not Thanksgiving. It's not even a nice dinner. You live in NEW ORLEANS. I'm sure there are places that are having takeout dinner that are better than what I'll be cooking at home. Jeez.

Well, Popeye's does do a fried turkey for Thanksgiving, so it's not the craziest thing, but still. Maybe you can take them to Kara's?

Ah. Okay. Hmm. Maybe it'll be tasty?

D's brother's fiancee is from around here, so I think some of her family is coming, too. Maybe I can do a progressive T-giving, like I did last year.
