Some random musings for you:
I went to get a bone density scan today; it’s almost like a whole set of medical things accumulate and come due all at once when you turn 65. Anyway, I went in and handed off the little labels to the young woman at the desk. She took them and said, “youcabeseedednsummon’llcuhgeddya.” I pondered this mysterious assortment of squashed-together syllables on my way to the waiting room and came up with a translation of “You can be seated and someone will come and get you.” There is no Duo-Lingo course for this kind of thing – you just have to do your best with what you’ve got.
I started up weight training again after having quit due to the Great and Unwarranted Shutdowns of 2020. Yes, I said that – don’t argue with me in the comments, please. I feel very timid in the weight room and hoped to have it all to myself. A fellow about my age came in and made use of the spinning machine that was right by the last weight machine. Rats – I couldn’t use that while he was there. Why not, you ask? Because I had to figure them out again and was too shy to do it in front of someone else. Then another fellow came in, a young and very muscular individual who was listening to music with earbuds and singing along rather robustly every now and then. At first I thought he was chatting us up, but no. I finished up early and slunk away home. It’s a start!

When the weather warms up, I’ll catch up with the morning deletions. Until then…brrrr!
