this morning #286.

this morning, after she finished shaking out all the cobwebs with a few minutes under a freezing cold blast of water from the showerhead, it was time to get down to the business. the business of FITNESS. this cycle was vicious, with its pattern of intoxication from bottles of red wine followed by intoxication from intense pilates. the whole thing was pleasantly addictive & kept her motor running day & night. ten years ago, a fair amount of coke would’ve been the cure for what ailed her. after friends & family & suitors all told her she’d gotten way too thin, she traded that pep for sanity. it wasn’t as exciting, but at least she wasn’t having random sex in random bathrooms any more.
