green. light. snow. duh.

my morning commute:
walk to bus stop, nearly falling on my ass several times.
miss bus by two minutes.
stand in rain waiting for next bus to arrive in thirty minutes.
realize waiting for next bus will make me forty-five minutes late.
look at almost-clear main roads.
walk back home, nearly falling on my ass several times and saying hello to dapper man with the nice umbrella.
get in car.
drive to work.
nearly die.
walk across slurpy, slushy parking lot, soaking sneakers and socks.
just because you all care, i’ll advise you that i had a much better sleep last night. i’m attributing it to all the fresh air (read: gasping for) i got yesterday. methinks i might get the same benefit from all my morning trudging. at least i hope so.
of course, in a sick and twisted turn of events, i find my legs all antsy to be moving. sitting here at my desk is just not cutting it. they want to walk. this isn’t a real problem other than the fact my brain absolutely hates walking without purpose. if i have a definitive destination, i can walk much longer than if i’m just walking for the sake of exercise. to this end, i need to find destinations to walk to. we’ll see how that goes. heh.

    you need a dog! take fido for a walk. meet other dog ppl! get exercise and entertainment at the expense of the poor dumb animal ( who happens to quite enjoy walks ).
    how about a real big dog. Rott? Shepard? I think a Rott would suit ya. Good luck controllin it tho ;) They’re about as dumb as they are big. But the ultimate home-defense unit. Hell, they’re prone to attack potential burglars on the street with no provocation! Talk about pre-emptive strike :p Just remember to feed it or it may not get on well with children :p
    Or, u could bring ur cat to the new apt and walk it! You could be the cat lady ppl see dragging her cat claws-extended down the sidewalk with a full harness and leash, howlin at the world. They like that. Either way, its interactive exercise!
