New Life Policy

I’m writing this as I sit with my legs propped up, throbbing in pain.  You know you’re out of shape when just a little bit of exercise makes your body hurt in places you didn't know existed. 

This is part of my new life policy. 

How many times have you put off taking a shower until morning?  You know, it’s that time of day when you’re ready to put on pajamas and watch Lord of the Rings or read Harry Potter, and you’re all, “I didn't do anything today.  I’m not dirty.  I can shower in the morning.”

Now, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with showering in the morning or that it makes you a dirty person.  AM showers are marvelous. 

However, I’m changing things up and making a new life policy:

Every day, do something that will make you think, “I really need to shower” at the end of the day. 

I’m not doing this because I have a problem showering.  In fact, I switched to a different soap a year ago that makes showering better than ever (1. Don’t judge me. 2. Dial w/moisturizer ftw!  You’ll feel wonderful.).  I’m doing it because I have a problem doing.

For more reasons than I care to think about at the moment, I’ve basically been completely idle for a long ass time.  It’s bad enough that it’s made me hella out of shape and unhealthy, but it also just ain’t me, bro.  How can I say I love hiking when climbing stairs leaves me out of breath?  I can’t. 

And thus, my new policy was born.  I think it’ll be good.  Hopefully I’ll be back on my work grind soon, so doing something that makes me feel like I need to shower might mean speed walking to the capital a few times, but you’ve gotta work with what you’ve got, right?
