It has arrived!

A few months ago I was still in bed, waking up to the Saturday morning news when I realized I was tuned into the wrong station and was watching an infomercial. Since it was probably more interesting than the news (more about the pandemic) I kept watching.  It was a commercial for a simple little exercise machine that looked easy to use and wasn't too expensive (under $200 in five easy payments),  Because I wasn't going anywhere much those days and had been feeling the lack of exercise I called the number on the screen and ordered a SlimCycle.  At least I thought I had ordered it.  Weeks went by and I hadn't received any kind of confirmation and no charges had shown up on my credit card so I assumed my order hadn't gone through.  Then, sometime in the first week in July I got a very nice letter, real snail mail, informing me that my order had been received but some parts had been back ordered.  I should receive my SlimCycle before September 1 and nothing would be charged to my credit card until it was shipped.  Well, guess what?  It came today. It came in a large, heavy box and I got my first workout getting it into the elevator and then into my apartment.  Tomorrow I will get my second workout assembling it, and sometime after that I will actually start using it for exercise.  Stay tuned.
