Today was “ESC broadens her horizons” day.

First, we joined the YMCA. We were awarded a nice little scholarship, which helps with money a great deal. So today I did all the paperwork and handed over the credit card and made a mental not to bring this up to my mother next time we talk because once many many months ago she said that if ever wanted to join a gym she’d help with the costs. The woman who did my paperwork was super friendly and gave me a quick tour of the facilities, including the weight room, aerobic room, gymnastics room with overhead track, pool, ladies locker room which includes a ladies free weight area, hot tub, and a COOL CENTRIFUGE THAT SPINS WATER OUT OF YOUR SWIM SUIT!!! Fun! I said I wanted to set up an appointment with a trainer and she said well, they’re pretty booked up, what days and times work, and I said late morning, early afternoon, and she said how about tomorrow at 11? So wow. Jump in with both feet.
