week 7 of the indoor 2 hour cycle class

February 18, 2007

I do believe that the novelty has worn off for the indoor 2 hour cycle class. Thank goodness there is only one class left. Now if the extreme knee pain I am limping along with this evening would do the same, I would be super happy.

Yeah I just may have ramped it up a notch to far today. Funny how one never knows when they have pushed something to far, until after the fact. A wee little insight into the future would sure be nice once in a while, wouldn’t you agree?

Friday nights going away party for our friend went well I suppose. When the kamikazee shots made their way round, at least then I had the foresight to utter a very specific no as to whether I wanted one or not. See! even I learn to avoid things, after many repetitions of course. I never claimed to be the brightest bulb in the pack. Ok so most of the time I am not even in the pack. It’s too crowded anyway.

I understand the friends motivation for wanting to get away… for wanting the opportunity to start over someplace new. And why is it if a fresh out of college person wants to pick up and move, it is understood and accepted, but if a 33 year old wants to do the same it is questioned with loads of skepticism? I wonder about that.

Previously on a different occasion on a different night when we were the only two sitting at the bar, this friend and I spoke in confidence as to her reasons for making this move. And I get it.

And, the other friend and I have also spoken in confidence as well, about why she does not want this friend to move away. And I get it.

My friends have always deposited their thoughts and feelings with me for safe keeping and I have always kept them as such pieces of a puzzle that no one really needs to solve. After 20 years I have a lot of puzzle pieces locked up tight.

Someday perhaps I will hand out some puzzle pieces of my own. But I doubt it.

I am off now to stretch my aching knee caps. Is that possible? Can I really stretch my knee caps? Or would that be a bad thing?
