Muddling through

I've been dealing with an odd cold-ish thing that is fine in the morning and produces increasing sneezing, runny nose, and such as the day goes on. I postponed a dentist appointment from yesterday afternoon until next week, rather than deal with those symptoms while having my teeth cleaned (or dealing with having my teeth cleaned while having those symptoms.

This morning I moved our air filter into the bedroom (normally we keep it in the living room), on the theory that it may help and can't hurt.

I also decided I was feeling well enough to go to the gym in the morning (and not be likely to sneeze all over the equipment). I got there, went downstairs, and discovered that they are now keeping towels at the front desk instead of in the locker rooms. *grump* "Discovered" meaning that I saw the empty shelves and asked one of the employees where the towels were. So, grumbling back up the stairs, grabbed two towels, and explained why I was annoyed, including that this is still potentially hard on my knees (though they're doing okay today). If someone has decided to change how they distribute towels, they could at least (a) put up signs and (b) say "how many towels would you like?" instead of just "enjoy your workout." By the time I left, they were being a bit more active about handing out towels, at least; I asked how to contact corporate to complain, and the desk clerk found me a phone number. I was hoping for an email address, which would have been easier for the two-part "Here is why I want you to change your towel policy, and also please learn to communicate with your paying customers."

Other than that, I had a good, long workout. Afterwards, I got some lunch, bought a hat from a newsstand, and picked up a library book, then went out to Brooklyn for dried fruit. Since Sahadi had them back in stock, I now also have a pound of the "traditional" Turkish pistachios, with the bit of lemon as well as salt.
