Sensory Language

        As I was about to leave to go to the gym my dog, Thor, started yowling an insanely high pitched dog bark. To calm him down I started petting his coarse hair. I grabbed my water bottle after he calmed down, and then realized I had grabbed the wrong one. I put it back and grabbed my FIJI water instead. I quickly grabbed and then looked at my cell phone when I heard it ringing. It was the reminder on my phone telling me I was late for the gym. I ate a banana to get some extra potassium. I then ran back to my room to choose which shoes I wanted to wear, but there were so many to choose. My eyes couldn’t look over that many, so I grabbed a pair and darted out the door.

       I got into my car and burned my ass on the leather seat. I liked the smell of leather, but not burnt ass. I was backing out of my drive way and heard car horns. That was one of the joys of living in town. Another was seeing people running everywhere. When I finally arrived to the gym I instantly heard clanking of weights, I smelled sweat and heard the receptionist typing away on her keyboard. She looked up at me when I walked into the lobby, asked for my name, and wrote it down quickly with a pen she was previously holding in her right hand. She entered me into a drawing for something. Who pays attention to those things anyway?

       I slowly walked back to the girls locker room and I inhaled a mixture of perfumes. That made me want to throw up. I went through my work out and while I was running I thought about the Reeses and all kinds of chocolate I would treat myself to after I had accomplished my goals. Then I texted my boyfriend while doing leg press- I definitely deserve Japanese steak… it’s just so good! I finished my set and grabbed my hand because it was bleeding but I didn’t know what from. I took a shower, and went to the shake bar. I asked the lady for a delicious protein shake. After I received it I went back home to see Thor.
