en route

V. Large Lady next to yours truly on the bus this morning was producing an awful amount of body heat. On-verge-of-rain weather made it humid enough without sitting next to Pizza the Hut's ex-fiancée. Shuddered when VLL got up to reveal wet spot on plastic seat. Oh, ick!

Am horrible, cruel girl.

Subjected self to such a brutal workout last night that further punished/relieved self with hour of early morning yoga session to un-kink v. kinked muscles. Whole process was v. amusing to Reluctant Kitten who distracted concentrated breathing by viciously attacking drawstring of lounge pants. Was also distracted by the fact that, having formerly been able to bend v. easily in half, was barely able to make nose meet knees in several awkward poses. What gives? Must learn to balance yoga with every five mile run or will end up quite gnarled and un-bendy.

Nine pounds to go.

Still.

Hmmm.

I remember in elementary school days, riding the bus with the large, rotund and mentally slow Geri.

She insisted on sitting in the same seat with me and my friend Jeff. She'd always take up more than a third of the seat. I told her to "move it or lose it" one day. I feel bad about it now, but the applause I got from witnesses was a boost to the 9-year-old me.

my very own thinks she's a kitten despite being 9 years old cat gave me the most quizzical look this morning when i rolled out the yoga mat. she bolted right out of there, in search of, surely, a landscape more attractive than me trying to sustain down dog, etc.

Might I hazard a guess that you are also a Spaceballs (dir. Mel Brooks) fan?

That is one sick story. Large people should bring towels with them. Yuck!
