This and that...

To the gym again this evening. It was kind of easy really. Didn't try to overdo anything, as I pushed myself a bit hard on Saturday and was worried about the backlash (which was less than I was expecting, but still, no point in being silly twice in one week). Zoomed through my whole programme up to the last couple of things, where I got a bit derailed by something unexpected - not a physical slump, but an emotional one. The reason? A couple on the exercise mats to the right of where I was using the shoulder press machine, discussing my leg rather audibly:

Her: "Eww, that's horrible!"
Him: "Eh? Oh! Yeah, bit stomach-turning."

Thanks very much for that. You only 'had' to look at it for a few minutes, I have to live with it every day. Bastards.

I was actually surprised by how much that upset me. Made getting the last couple of sets done a bit hard going, but I soldiered through them and then drove home with a certain amount of um, flair. Shiny car with loud stereo make everything better :)


Things I will be posting periodic reminders about:
Twitter - let all your friends know what you're up to via SMS.
Circus on the Circus - a circus skills event near my flat.

I've invited my kid brother to come down and stay on the weekend of the latter. He lives in Norfolk, is 18 this year (omg! I am teh old!!) and is better at every circus toy we have in common, plus he can do a few more too. Flash git. :)

There's no excuse for rudeness - I understand people can find these things a little shocking and maybe they don't know how to react, but even so rudeness is just wrong, I'm sorry you encountered it.
I've been lucky on the scar front - I love my scars and fortunately people have never said anything horrible about them, though I've overheard some interesting discussions I didn't have a heart to correct - I've been shot, stabbed and various other thing apparently :D
However, I've over heard comments about the stretch marks on my stomach and that did hurt, incredibly - and they're always in the back of my mind. For what it's worth, however you feel about them yourself, your scars are beautiful on many levels :)
