No alarms and no surprises please

Last night at our training event, we talked about changing our "need to", "have to", and "I should" to "I get to" or "I choose to". I usually use a sarcastic "I get to", so this is going to be quite a switch for me.

I recently joined the YMCA as part of my sister-in-laws family package. They don't have rates for single parents and promised not to ask questions if another adult was added. Thus they think we are a couple. I don't mind, but I do think it is funny since we act like sisters.

Anyway, so far going to the y to work out is difficult for me. I know I need to and I really should and, in terms of money, I have to, but I'm used to working out in my livingroom with only the dog thinking I'm a jiggly idiot. Is anyone at the y thinking that? Nah. Just in my head.

But I get to go and I choose to go. And someday soon I will really mean it.
