Keeping track

Of my progress and not so progress. Today falls under the not so. Went to Geo today, the local videostore—yeah we still have them here, they even have the blue and yellow hearkening back to the Blockbuster days o yore—to rent me some Dr. Who for the times my wife isn’t here to eat lunch with me. While my wife went to rent manga (maybe a reason they might still survive even if Netflix lands on these shores), I went to the back of the store to try to find my show amid the Alphas and Originals, the Supernaturals and the Fringes. I had a basic idea where to find it from last time and it still took me awhile. A lot of standing time which got even longer when I looked for Agents of Shield. No luck this time, and then my wife came to help and we searched all over the store. After searching racks and racks of not Agents of Shield I got sick with exhaustion and hurried to the car to collapse. Not one of my stronger days, but I didn’t have to stand like this yesterday. It was more like Saturday and Sunday walking the aisles of Fuji and Aeon non stop, but with standing replacing the walking. I don’t stand well, always preferred walking to standing, but I don’t know. Walking does take up more energy doesn’t it? Anyway, I didn’t expect to come out of the video store so tired. So disappointment? Worry? Oh well, even if I stumble a bit along the get well road, I can’t get depressed over it. Then what I’m I going to do the next time?
Still, gots to get out that exercise bike and you know, exercise.

  1. No netflix you say? Netflix is all we have, to save money at first, but now I am a netflix addict. No I will not go to a 12 step program. Annnd, Agents of Shield is great, totally worth tiring yourself out for. If you find it, you could dangle it out in front of your exercise bike as motivation. Your carrot, only way more awesome and delicious. I think your attitude is great, and spot on, you are on the right road, even if it is bumpy occasionally, and at least there is a costco on that road!

  2. There is a Costco and that sure helps. That's a good idea, dangling an Agents of shield box in front o my exercise bike. If I can just peddle faster. We did find the cache of boxes, the secret hiding place near the front of the DVD/blue ray racks, so it's going to happen soon.
