Ya know, I may not start Threadspotting-quality threads, but ya gotta admit, sometimes my titles are eye-catching! Ya gotta admit that because you’re reading this now - so admit it - go ahead! I’m waiting…
Ahem
Anyway, I was standing there in the Y locker room in my underwear - white cotton granny-panties and a sad-looking white bra, if you need visuals - having finished my cardio workout and my shower. I’d just finished detangling my hair when another member came in to get her keys out of her gym bag. She said something about some vans blocking some workers in the parking lot. [sub]Bear in mind, it’s not yet 6AM[/sub] I mentioned I had a van.
“What color?”
“Green Aerostar.”
“Did you park by the marquee?”
“Sorta - I’m along the road side of the lot.”
“I’ll go check for you.”
“Well, I’ll be out in about 5 minutes.”
She headed out and I finished dressing - socks, jeans, shoes, and shirt in record time. My toiletries were stashed in my bag and I gathered up my towels and my keys, out the door within 2 minutes. I heard one of the staff members in the fitness center saying something about a green Aerostar.
“That’s my car - I’m on my way out!”
Heading down the hallway, I meet the woman from the locker room.
“It’s your car - what’s your name?”
“Michelle. I’m outta here.”
I approach the lobby and hear another staffer saying, “It’s Michelle W***'s car.”
“That’s me - I’m on my way.”
I’m not sure how she knew it was my car - I don’t remember registering my vehicle when I joined. Out in the lot, I see a lone white pickup truck by the marquee and a man putting up orange traffic cones and yellow CAUTION tape, stopping just short of my van. Had I parked one space farther on, I’d have been clear… I stowed my damp stuff in the back, climbed in the driver’s seat, and was on my way.
So, how has your morning been??
