I am so pathetic

But I'll take it however I can get it.

So, I'm not great at exercising. In fact, I really don't ever enjoy it and it takes quite a bit of determination on my part to ever do anything phyiscal. Today I walked my oldest to school. As always, down hill was lovely. But on the way home I took a different route specifically to be seen by my neighbors who were driving their kids to school. I didn't want to be seen so I could say, "Na na na na na, I'm exercising and I'm better than you!" No, no I wanted to be seen so I could say, "Oh thank heaven's so-and-so saw me. I guess this isn't a total waste." It is completely lame, I'm well aware. But that little bit of unspoken pat-on-the-back, good-for-you! (which is completely imagined on my part) helped me to walk back up The Hill and back home.

...of course, I may have to sit in my chair for the rest of the day now...
