Workout

Yesterday I went to the Vision Quest gym on the recommendation of a friend. And signed up. They were having a one-day event where it costs $15/month instead of $20/month to sign up. No enrollment fees. I prepaid a year and got an additional six months free. And the best part - Joe couldn't say no to such a good price, so we both signed up!

I don't like the staff as well as at the Y, and it has a different feel to it. It's mostly people our age and it's all, well, zazzy. Hip and modern. One reason I liked the Y was because it had such a family feel. And this one guy who has been helping me, I don't know if he's on drugs or what but he is so out of it. Yesterday he was tired from not getting enough sleep from staying up late, drinking. Hm.

Anyway, you get a free personal trainer session every month so I met with mine today - Amber! I like her a lot.

They don't have some of the same amenities as the Y: no family dressing rooms, no pool, no towel service. They have a hot tub, but weirdly it's located in this teensy room accessible through the back doors of the male and female dressing rooms, which are on either side of it. It's in this dinky concrete poorly-lit room. I wouldn't want to go there unless Joe was with me!

They do have a sauna in the women's locker room which I look forward to trying out.

Bathroom update: We have a guy out here right now to estimate the cost of rooting our main line. If it's too much we'll do it ourselves - TODAY. The drains are so backed up that almost any water we put down any drain in the house - shower, toilet flushing, sink water, dishwasher, washing machine - comes out of the hole in the floor where the toilet used to be. I thought it was bad having to use store-bought water instead of tap water to wash our hands, etc. It's much worse not being able to dump anything down the drain! I made some pasta for lunch and drained it outside!

I took Melody shopping yesterday. That was really fun - especially since I loaded up on workout clothes! Haha. Joe didn't mind because he knew I needed them, and plus we got such a great deal with our gym membership. Our two VisionQuest memberships are costing us half as much as would a Y membership for just me.

Edit: And we're getting our pipe rooted right now! In an hour everything will be fine. In fact, the backup was probably what caused the tub to leak in the first place. Still it's good that we gutted the bathroom. It needed to be done.
