We all have the ‘things I want someday’ lists in our heads. For some, it may be a new house, a new car, an education, to be married or even just enough money to put food on the table. When thinking of it in that perspective, some of the things on my ‘someday’ wishlist seem totally selfish.
My everyday list consists of the wish that everyone is healthy and safe. I fret constantly about those I love driving, etc. Mostly in the winter months. It’s probably a good thing we only have cats and a dog as I would be the worst Mom ever. My child would have a bubble around them with GPS and a camera strapped to them at all times. I’m almost that bad with my dog. 🙂
Yesterday as I was sanding down a door from our hallway, I found myself thinking about how much I haven’t run the last couple of weeks. This week I have a horrible chest cold, and running is out of the question. I’m left gasping for breath climbing the basement stairs alone. I’ve coughed so much I’m amazed my skull hasn’t already cracked open and leaked my brainmeats out everywhere. Anyhow, I digress. I want SPRING to happen! That is on my right now wish list. To be done with the snow and slush and crap! But someday, someday, I would love a treadmill. I said it.
My selfish someday wishlist consists of two things: a treadmill and a rowing machine. Both of excellent quality. There, I said it. An insane amount of money for two insane things. I often use all of my at home gym equipment for the simple reason I do not/cannot afford a gym membership. I also would rather workout at home than set foot in one. But that’s just me. Working out takes up enough of my precious ‘free’ time away from school; commuting to and from another building when I have a perfectly good one right here seems unnecessary.
But would I use them? Freaking right I would use them! I’ve wanted a rowing machine for YEARS! lol. The treadmill is a recent want. I hate them, but prefer them to getting soaked through and freezing in the winter.
So, those are my selfish I-feel-guilty-for-wanting wants. lol. I think I’m mostly just feeling sorry for myself because I cannot exercise right now. How lame is that?
In other news, Loki helped me out a great deal with the painting by patrolling the cupboard after I took the door off.
