Snippets

I woke from a nap on Sunday and stalked into the den. "This is how much you play that game!"

Lut pushed one earpiece of his headset and glanced at me sidelong, not turning away from the game of Left 4 Dead he was playing. "What?"

"This is how much you play that game," I repeated. "I'm having dreams about it."

Monday evening I wandered into the den. Music floated in behind me, playing from the speakers hooked to my iPod in the living room. I dropped a kiss on the top of Lut's head as he was web-browsing.

"Hey there. Whatcha doin'?" he asked.

"Cleaning."

"Really? I thought you'd be exercising."

"Cleaning counts." I pitched the trash I was holding into the wastepaper basket.

"Not gonna argue with that."

"Good man."

"Hey, do I look stupid to you?"

Of course cleaning counts as exercise! Why else would one do it?


...well, unless you wanted to see the floors and countertops every once in a while, I suppose...

:D

Yardwork counts, too

I almost never clean. I hadn't vacuumed in at least a month. If I told myself that I had to exercise in addition to cleaning on any given night, that'd go from "almost never" to just plain "never". >:D

But I actually have heard various health & wellness sources say "cleaning counts as exercise". Partly because you're generally moving around when you clean, yes, but also because one of the health benefits of exercise is stress reduction, and cleaning also relieves stress.

So I'm not *completely* making it up as an excuse to get out of exercising.

Just mostly. :)
