Good for you, LMo!

I'm supposed to exercise. When it was summer sometimes I went for a walk and I really liked that - sometimes I walked for an hour or more. But now it's getting cold and dark earlier and I don't have as much time and that's fizzling out. Does anyone have any suggestions what to replace it with? My T says I should exercise in the morning, but I don't have any time in the morning. He says, "Couldn't you find just 10 minutes in the morning?" I couldn't think of any reason why I can't come up with 10 minutes, but I don't know what I could do in 10 minutes and that doesn't sound like enough anyway.

I won't join a gym. We have one here and I hate them. We had a membership before and they robbed us blind. I'm a student/SAHM, losing money trying to keep a small farm going, and my husband is a public servant and we haven't even managed to make a dent in our student loans from before, so we don't have money to spend on this.

I really could use some ideas. Sorry to have a rotten attitude, but I just have a rotten attitude today. I eat broccoli though!

The main thing that I have done/am doing that is good for me is going back to school. Even though they are throwing obstacles at me right now that I don't know if I can make it past, it was something I needed to do.

Perky friends are nice to have, and it's only annoying when I'm on a level where it doesn't seem like I could ever approach perkiness and the difference reminds of my own hopelessness. Go ahead and be perky - maybe some of it will rub off.
