Now, I ask you oh interwebs of wisdom: Where the hell in that schedule (and admittedly there were a couple of wrenches thrown into it) was I supposed to put 1) a 45 minute walk/jog and 2) 30 minutes of decluttering.

In all honestly, the ONLY thing that could have given was the time with MC. A woman who is on the beginning end of the divorce cavalcade of fun, whose birthday is tomorrow. I was supposed to call her and tell her "sorry. can’t meet. I have to walk?" or clean?

Seriously. When I say it’s hard to fit exercise into my life, please, for the love of God, believe me.
