Can we talk?

Screen Time

         I spend too much time sitting at a computer desk, whether at work or home. I sit there without thinking, then when I need to stand, my ankles are stiff or my shoulders ache. This can't be healthy. I'm going to invest in a couple of small timers that don't tick out loud that will ring every 30 minutes. This will remind me to drop everything and stand up or walk around for a half minute or more. Maybe my blood will at least circulate a little and avoid fluid build up in the joints.

         I've gotten out of my walking routine again. My doctor told me half an hour 5 days a week, which is what all the magazines and websites recommend, is not enough. One hour 7 days a week is what she wants from me because of my age, bone health, and heart rhythm. I've slacked off. I can do the lesser program, but I find it hard to be faithful to her program. And knowing I'm going to the other extreme and sitting to type or read for hours at a time is worse.

         At least if I finally keel over at my desk, I'll die happy.
