Sometimes I hate it when I’m right



Doctors sometimes ask me if I exercise or what I do for exercise and I explain that I don’t do structured exercise.  I use what I do around the house as exercise.  Anything extra that I add would make it hard for me to do the things that need to be done.  I’m not always sure they believe me – some obviously do, but I even doubt myself sometimes.

Well, now I’ve started cycling and guess what?  I’m having a hard time keeping up with all of the things that I need to do.  As a result things have been piling up around here.  It’s not good to be proven right in this circumstance.

Sure, things could be much worse, but this is what I have to deal with, doing all of the things that I couldn’t keep up with before while also cycling as often as possible.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m really not complaining.  Seriously.  It’s more like I told you so (I told me so?).

Eventually the weather will determine what gets done, but until then I intend to keep up the cycling and do my best to make everything else work.  I’ll take it as a challenge/exercise in scheduling and prioritizing and figuring out how best to manage my energy.

When we get the dog and cat to do their fair share around the house - dishes, laundry - I will share my secret and watch you bike ride into the sunset

Is that what I need to do? Definitely share the secret, and I'll do likewise if I ever figure it out.
