On the ball

It’s the end of the semester. The house is a mess, I’m putting off work, I haven’t exercised in months. I’m sore and cramped from sitting at a desk all day and driving a lot. I am not on the ball. To counterbalance this, I decided to get on an exercise ball and start to use it as my desk chair. Since I don’t have a desk at the moment, my lap is my desk, and my portable computer, so aptly named, is sitting atop my lap. It’s not as easy as it looks, people. This is going to require building up some strength. Maybe in a few years I’ll be able to say, “yeah, this six pack? Got it from writing my dissertation”.
