A little before six, I walked over to my boss's desk to put away one book and pick up another. She suggested that I could leave then (and pick up the next bit of my current proofreading task in the morning), and I told her that I'd been dithering about whether to go to the gym, and if I left then I'd have to know where I was headed.
Edie urged me to go to the gym, noting that she'd felt the same way that morning, and gone, and it was a good idea even though the pool was freezing and there wasn't enough hot water in the showers. So I took her advice and went to the gym, despite menstrual pain, and had a reasonably good workout.

Back arches, 17, 19, 17 (I forgot to stop at 17 on the 2nd set)
