There’s a posting further down where I whined about the bitterness of getting on the scale, and to my great surprise, Stella who used to play at Maddock and whom I haven’t spoken with in a coon’s age, posted a comment to tell me to take heart.
It’s amazing how much that helped. Not that commentary from the people I’m in contact with regularly doesn’t, but to get surprise-support from unexpected quarters — well, it was just really neat. And it made me extra-glad I’d gone to the gym last night. :)
