Geez, the personal details people talk about on cell phones. The guy on the train just called his son " to hear his voice," He asked the kid how his Christmas was. Apparently, the place where the man was being held, he wasn't allowed to make phone calls. He's in a halfway house now, so he can call any day except Sunday. And in a few months, he'll be able to find them both a place to live.
The other night on the train, a woman was yelling on her cell at her son. After she hung up, she called someone else and had a long conversation about how "DHS said she wasn't a good mother, so they wouldn't let her throw her son a birthday party."
I really hope it wasn't the same kid.
Exercise du jour: I am going to take a walk at lunch. No excuses. I'm posting this to publicly shame myself into doing it.
Damn it. I don't know whether to classify this as a WIN or a FAIl.
I mean -- was it my fault I was born female, and heir to all the exercise-inhibiting cramps that female flesh is heir to?
(That sounds so much more fancy than saying cramps stopped me from taking a walk at lunch. Gotta go with what sounds good.)
On the other hand, I was able to do 20 minutes on the elliptical this evening. Should that qualify me for a gold star? I think that I'm gonna call this a win, on the whole.

Ahhh, public shaming into exercise. I know it well. :) Have a nice walk!
ReplyDeleteToo bad public shame doesn't seem to work for the people with the cell phones!
ReplyDeleteA good reminder to keep our conversations quiet.
ReplyDeleteHope you got the walk in.
