It's Thanksgiving; time to give thanks for small favors.

Sometimes I feel despondent about not being all snuggly in a couple (see previous post.)

However, yesterday I realized that things could be worse.

At the gym, there was a young woman a few elllipticals machines away from me. She was obviously there with her fella - a guy who was jogging, but mostly walking around the track. Each time he came around the track (maybe 15 times) he would clap and say rather loudly, "Doing good, hon! You're doing great!" (Clap! Clap!)

How obnoxious! And how patronizing. I mean, she's working out on a machine for 20 minutes, not giving birth! Does she really need that much encouragement? I was embarrassed on her behalf.
