Stand in the place where you are

I decided today that I spend too much time sitting and lying around. Whether it’s sitting/lying in bed, sitting at my desk, sitting at the dinner table… too much sitting. My butt is getting bigger and flatter. Well, I’m assuming that’s what’s happening—it’s hard for me to get a good look and asking someone to look for me would just be weird.

After searching through the house a little bit, I found a solution: a place where I can use my laptop while standing. There’s a room with a five-level dresser that’s almost chest height. I’ve got my laptop sitting on top of it, I can put my hands on the keyboard without having to hold up my elbows or keep my wrists at an awkward angle… it works really well. Given how infrequently I’m on my feet during the day, though, it’s only a matter of time before my leg muscles get tired, can’t support me anymore and I collapse like a giant heap of Jell-O. But at least I’ll be a giant heap of Jell-O with a sense of accomplishment. And probably still a big butt.
