Speaking of clearing spaces

My project for today is going to be clearing out the dresser that's in my office. I'd like to get that done, because then we can move it upstairs - very carefully cos the bitch is heavy - and take the bookcase that's up there now and more -it- down to the office. I think That's a better plan, since this is no longer used as a guest room. I'll have my new desk sometime in mid-July I'm guessing. They're made overseas, so I have to wait for it to arrive and stuff. and while I can't wait to get it finally, I'm kinda glad that I can have the time to clear out more stuff and decide what needs to be kept and what doesn't.

Clearing spaces also fits for my life in another way. I have started going to the gym. I got myself a membership to Planet Fitness, and we - Brandon and I - have gone every day this week. And I -do not- want to go today, but I'm going anyway. Even if I only walk for half an hour, that's better than nothing. And the nothing exercise I'd been getting is doing me no favors. I've actually been really proud of myself. Monday was our first day, and I walked about 45 minutes, for a distance of about 1.25 miles. Tuesday I walked about the same time, but a distance of about 1.75 miles. Yesterday I walked 30 minutes for a distance of 1 mile, but then did 10 minutes and about .5 miles on the elliptical machine. Which let me tell you was awful. I still ache a bit from it. but I can tell the difference in the muscles I used, and I know that I really need to use that particular machine more, once I work up to being able to.

We've decided that we're going to keep going -every- weekday, though we are taking weekends off. i think that's probably healthy. I know it certainly is for me, and Brandon can definitely use the exercise. I'm proud of him. he's really making an effort not to be lazy.

I actually wrote this post 4 hours ago. The internet died then. So I went to the gym. And came back. And it was -still- not working. So we ate lunch - we got Penn Station again. Really yummy! - and I called Comporium. And got someone really un-helpful. But he decided there might be a problem and sent someone out. Of course .. about 5 minutes before the guy showed up, it started working.

But!

The guy wanted to come check things out anyway. And I let him against my annoyed judgement, and I'm glad I did. Turns out, there's a signal issue. And he went outside and fiddled with some things, found some 'loose fittings' and stuff, and came back and said it really helped my signal strength. It's still not perfect, so he said to watch it, and let them know if it happened again. Which is why I'm documenting this now.
