On locker #151 ..


I have routines.  I stick to them.  Because it's comforting.  Like an old blanket.  I get up.  I know what the day is going to bring.  I do it.  I go to bed.  Sleep on the same side of the bed.  Same side of the body.

Routine.


I do it until it wears out it's welcome.  Then I have to break free for awhile.  Get away.  Reset.  Back at it again.

One routine is the gym routine.  Same time.  Same parking spot.  Same bench in the locker room.  Same locker.  Same shower.

Routine.  Check in.  Say hello to desk person.  Pass the trainers area.  Say hello to trainers.  Walk downstairs to the locker room.  Sit my bag on "my" bench. Open bottom locker.  Turn around.  Back into the locker.  And sit in the locker.  To finish up the morning texts.  Feet up on the bench.  In "my" space.


A few weeks ago... I was doing my "routine" and the club manager comes in.  Stops to stare at me.  Says these words "you are out of control.  give me your phone.  I am taking a picture of you.  for you.  I have to."

And she does..

Out of control?  Hardly.  This IS my control.

So good morning .. from locker #151 ..

I miss you and your quirks! Come see me sometime (I'm not at the gym).

I just think that's SO funny that you sit INSIDE the locker instead of on the bench!

Epic ... the bench is occupied... by my gym bag. Of course.
