For the second time in as many months, I’m truly grateful that I maintained my YMCA membership instead of cancelling when I left Sequim WA. I’ve visited the Y at every location since I left Sequim but it didn’t seem quite so vital as recently. Last month the hot tub and sauna were used as often as possible during the cold weather snaps at the sugar beet harvest, This month I started at Amazon. I’m a picker again, which involves miles of walking on concrete every day. I just finished my first full week and feel better than expected. But, these next 3 days off will certainly find me at the local YMCA, in the whirlpool, letting those hot water jets work their magic on my feet.
