Guilt tax begone!

stephbgI have achieved one of my "before 40" resolutions: I have quit the gym.
To be more precise, I have quit paying for a service I haven't used in a very long time due to ill health. It was hard, for all sorts of reasons. But I had to face the fact that I was throwing money away for absolutely no benefit, except the vague reassurance in the back of my head that I could walk in any time. Always assuming it was one of those days in which I could walk.
Riding for the Disabled gave me the courage to cut the traces, because I get all the non-housework exercise I can possibly handle at the stables, so the idea of having any spare seemed ludicrous. Shovelling poo is also much more fun than doing weights.
And there's nothing quite like the end of the financial year to realise that I have had the income of a penniless pensioner for a couple of years now and should really pay more attention to the financials.
I am kind of hoping that the universe will laugh at my decision and suddenly decide to gift me with huge (i.e. normal) amounts of energy. If that happens I am more than prepared to pay the joining fee again. I will have more of *everything*.
