What kind of healthcare you working in with the kind of commute? I’m good at my job nursing but I can’t imagine that’s someething people get flown in for.

I get that, and I’m kinda trying to see how to best use my limited time in the mornings for workouts. I can’t lift weights anymore due to joint issues, so I’m trying to keep the sexy legs I earned!

thats basically what I was doing at the gym, but the bikes with present modes don’t have enough adjustability to fit me very well and my back ends up hurting afterwards. So I need to switch to using one of the dumb bikes with all the adjustments but no computer like what you see in a spin class.

That and my kids wouldn’t stand for hours of exercise, I get like 30 minutes. I was just going indefinitely and keeping my rpm around 100, but I’m trying to mix it up

Sorta. I’m a comfortable person expressing affection and my inner emotions with friends. I’m also often the one initiating the sharing asking how they are etc, and the physical touch. It’s nearly always me initiating, so I’m kinda uncertain how it is in the other person’s head. Obv not bad enough to recoil or ask me to stop, but maybe they’re just a bit uncomfortable.

Yes. I want it more. I look at relationships among women where that level of physical affection is part of the connection and reinforces it and I want that. I only really have that with my wife and one close friend, who is a woman.

What would you pick as your top 3? Top 2?

I see autonomy sorta winding through this one, any thoughts on why that’s a big deal for you?

Curious as I’ve done this exercise before but only in short lists. I think I did it in couples therapy once as well, and, yeah, autonomy probably not a good one in the setting.
