I ended up spending four hours at the new town Y today. This is exactly three hours more than any other time I have been there. First I did the qigong class. I love listening to the english accented instructor, but am starting to be concerned that the program is a wee bit geriatric slanted. I can't tell since I never did it anywhere else. Then I chatted with another qigonger for over an hour! Not sure how that happened. I took an invogorating spin on the expresso bike, and a half hour on the elliptical when I decided that there was for sure a sweet relaxing pore cleansing detoxifying sauna in my momentary future. I entered the empty sauna, spread out my towel and assumed my standard sauna position. Flat on my back. No sooner do I find myself relaxing into a nice sauna induced meditation than the peace and joy of my sauna was interrupted by some serious old lady nag voice. There were two twisty voiced geezer ladies outside the sauna. They were discussing the naked person in ... the sauna? The steam room? I had no idea if it was me or some naked soul sister in the steam room. But the grandmas could not believe there was a naked person. They decided that "she can't possibly stay in there forever" and wait it out in the hallway. I thought they had met their match, I was going to pass out in the sauna if I had to but I was not going to vacate for the wicked witch of the west and the evil queen. The witches started to get impatient, but I still wasn't sure if they were avoiding me or someone else. Finally one peeked her wart encrusted nose into the sauna and announced that there was another naked girl. Then they discussed how the small woman in the steam room was less offensive to look at they could go in and sit with their backs to her. I kid you not!!
Welcome to new town. Where everyone judges and thinks you are the weird one.
