More things to do on my days off

jon_chaissonI'm trying to get into a positive habit of getting off my duff when I'm not working. Most of the time it's me heading out to do some grocery shopping or some such, but I'm thinking I should also add Errand Walking as well. We're only three long blocks from Geary (and we live at the corner of a street that's got an easy incline between here and there), and we're close enough to many places we frequent down that way. So I'm thinking either Monday or Tuesday I'll head down there to buy some ice cream and get an updated passport photo taken. And in the process I'll get my exercise!
Not that I'm not getting a workout at the Day Job, far from it. I must have done at least five miles' worth of steps today (per my Fit app, at least) because I processed FAR too many Home Shopping orders before 11am which had me walking all over the dang store. This is partly why I drive to work now, even though it's only just shy of two miles away now -- while it's an easy gridded-street walk, it's the hills in between that would be too exhausting to handle. And given my schedule of 6am opens, the bus doesn't always run on a frequent schedule that early in the morning. And this has often been why I end up not doing much of anything physical on my days off.
I'd like to change that, however. I don't need to do all the walking all over creation, mind you. Maybe head over to water the garden (now only two blocks away!), or head to the corner store or the coffee shop. Just so I keep from getting too lazy!
