Anonymity

OK, so I think I may have found a definite advantage to no one knowing me. Yesterday, I went to the Y for my workout after I dropped Kim off at the airport. Now, usually I get dressed in my workout clothes at home, go and workout, then come home and shower (I could shower at the Y, I just like my shower better!) Anyway, yesterday I quickly threw some exercise clothes in a bag before leaving for the airport. When I got to the Y I opened my bag and quickly realized that the problems we were having with our washing machine definitely affected how well that load had been cleaned - either that or it had sat in the washer too long, anyway, it did not smell nice at all! I'm pretty sure the folks on either side of me on the elipticals noticed it, I'm not sure how they could have missed it. But all they knew was that the lady next to them didn't smell good, they didn't know who the lady was, just some stranger. Of course, next week when I go to a class and run into some of them again, maybe they won't be strangers anymore. Oh well, hopefully it won't be memorable enough for them to say "oh, your the lady that stunk so bad last week!"

hmmm...I think I recognize that smell! Yes, I've left clothes in the washer a little too long also! Ha, ha! I admire your perserverance! That would have given me a perfectly good reason to just skip the work-out!
