It rained again, but it wasn't too bad. But, right after I finished today's share of officetel hunting, the raining resumed. Riding a bike with an umbrella isn't fun. But I really did not want to get a cab or walk all the way to the gym.
Today something that has walled me off 'the regulars' at the gym got dismantled. As soon as I jumped out of the elevator at the gym, my trainer asked me if I took a wrong umbrella last night. I told him that I was sure to have taken mine. As it turned out, I picked out someone else's and the lady who thought she lost her umbrell was very glad to have it back. However, the story is not that simple. Let's go back to last night.
After finishing my back routines, I was doing leg-raise. And I saw the lady running amok in the gym, saying "Where is my umbrella? Where is it?" I clearly recall it because when I was so focused on my routine, she was loudly talking and it was a bit disturbing.
Do you get it? So, apprently, someone else took her umbrella before I did and he or she brought it back and then I took it over somehow. As I was explaining this to the lady, we all laughed about it. But the thing is, then, my umbrella which is supposed to be sitting at the gym wasn' there. It turns out that the trainer rented it some guy during the day time. So, the lady offered hers to me, saying "Make sure to bring it back tomorrow." A rainbow umbrella. Great-
As a matter of fact, I have never spoken to the lady. Well maybe once. But she and I (and some other 'regulars') always work out together. Well, together as in "in the same space" Since I don't want to take a longer break than I need to.. don't want to wind up chatting with other guys and dragging my feet, I did not really put effort to make acquaintances with the regulars. Of course, whenever I walk in, I nodd or say hello to some of them, but it is not like I engage in a convo. And she was one of them. But not anymore. I guess I made an acquaintance with her.
I wonder where my umbrella is now. Moreover, I hope it does not rain tomorrow so that I don't need to bike with an umbrella.
