Adventures of an Ambivalent Gym Queen, Dispatch #110708

Gym Queen's Log, Workout Date 110708: The shoulder has finally rebounded from the weeks of hateful discomfort, so I celebrated the best way a Gym Queen would: by working out. I hit the weight machines--lightly--on the arms, shoulders, and back. To ensure I didn't overwhelm the muscles, I used all of 10 pounds of weight to get the body back in the game. It seemed to have worked; the EMS wasn't called--always a good sign.

The Snoopy vs Red Baron wrap seems to be a hit--with me, of course. I've reduced my floor sweat by 100%. It also makes the gym a safer place; I had always worried about slipping on the sweat--or worse: someone else slipping on my sweat. Brrrf!

On my way to the shower, I spotted a sippy cup on an abandoned stool. And I get it: men have children, too. Yet the real chuckle lay in the character on said cup: Snow White.


Someone left their sippy cup out in the men's locker room...

Nothing says genderfuck like a Snow White sippy cup in a men's locker room. It's like something out of "MacArthur Park (Amazon)." Or as my friend Courtney would say, "comedy gold." I didn't get close enough to smell what was in the cup, but that's just how I roll. For all I know it could've been my gift for working through the shoulder pain--and was filled with Bombay Sapphire and tonic with a splash of lime juice, just like Baba likes. Guess I'll never know.
