It's been a rough 3
December 20, 2003
It's been a rough 3 1/2 months -- Rich broke his hip that long ago, and he's still on crutches, but not here at the house anymore. He did do too much today, he says.
My health club shut down today. This is a very small, but extremely friendly place, just down the road from my house. It was owned by the Club Corp corporation and by Mack-Cali -- the owners of the building. They jointly decided to close it -- they are leaving equpment there, and it's self-service for the employees of tenants of the building.
The good news is that they are moving the neighborhood members (and building tenants who want to join us), to the local country club. I've been working out there since they moved the big treadmills over, got a locker then laundry services yesterday. (So I have no excuses!)
They are promising new equipment and have already done some remodeling to accomodate us.
It's just that I've never belonged to a country club, never imagined I would, and that's all different to get used to.
They had a lovely wake for the club tonight.
Blood sugar numbers have just been fabulous this week. I'm a bit concerned as they are showing a bit low -- I was at 98 when I got to the gym, and dipped to 86 even though I was doing sugar while working out -- I REALLY hate that! (The doing sugar part).
But I still haven't suffered a low since I got the pump.
Yeah, and today was my birthday. It's a bit of a lousy time to have one with the club closing and Christmas close every year, but I'm stuck with the date.
