A couple of weeks ago i started going to spinning class with Lora. She has a favourite instructor and goes every week at the same time. It almost killed me. Sure that may sound like an exaggeration but damn, it is tough! When I was done, my shirt looked like I’d just jumped into a pool with it. A pool of sweat, mind you. I went again last week and it was a different lady as the fave is on vacation. This lady was weird… she kept singing along with the (bad) music and also stared at herself in the mirror for almost the entire session.

Anyway, it’s fun to go to the gym with Lora and hopefully I’ll keep it up, unlike the three previous gym memberships I have had in the past four years…

I was in Ottawa this past weekend to visit my parents with my sister and her boyfriend. The idea was to spend some time out in the city for Winterlude, but we ended up doing nothing of the sort! It was a great weekend nonetheless. Spent some good times with the family and also with my good friend Daryl who moved back to Ottawa almost a year ago. I flew there on Friday afternoon and then my sister drove me home.

Now it’s Monday and it’s a day off for Family Day or something. I’m planning on seeing a movie - maybe Doubt - with G today.

I can’t believe I’m actually awake before noon on a day off. What’s happening to me???

what’s happened lately? Hmm, let me think. Oh, yes. Keith was here for about a week. He stayed with me for a bit and stayed in a couple of hotels, too. While he was here we went out a few times, it was pretty fun. We also went with Guillermo and Lora to see Jersey Boys. I thought it was pretty good, and also really cool that I ended up knowing the guy who was playing the lead role.

my sister and her bf were here on Saturday - that was fun. Spent the day with them and my cousin Geoff, then they went home and Ronnie joined his brother and I and we watched a movie.

Oh yeah, and I joined a gym again. Trying goodlife this time! Lora said I could go with her - she goes pretty often - and so far I’ve gone more times (four) in the past 2 weeks than I did in like 6 months the last time I joined a gym. I did a spinning class yesterday (my first) and i thought I was going to die. it was fun though! and felt great afterwards!
