How Much More Time Can I Waste?

Since the weather is beautiful here, I thought I would do my stretching program in the woods. It's on a PBS station. I learned there is an App and put it on my iPad. Then I proceeded to search and search for the program. It took me a long time to guess that maybe every program isn't on the App. I found another exercise program, but I can't figure out if I can download it. Okay, the morning is gone I'm well into the afternoon and I'm finally heading out to see if my internet will reach my forest Hubby will be home soon asking if I just sat here all day. And the answer will be yes! Luckily, I do have all the time in the world. Just not how I intended my day to go.

I can get lost in programming something, too. That isn't considered a waste of time. I hope you have wonderful rest of your day.

@paigea Thank you. My day went along nicely. I pulled up a bunch of the immature walnut trees that are sprouting in my yard. When mosquitos started attacking me, I gave up and came back inside. I'm glad you got some outdoor time today, as well

@DaddyEvil some is better than none. This year has been the least mosquitoes I've ever seen in this area.

I'm just resting up from that outdoor exertion. It's warmer than I thought. And the boardwalk was overgrown, so I was working at pulling long grass. I did something! I hope your day is great!

Is it safe to be out there? Couldn't there be grizzlies around or something?

I live on an acreage in the middle of fields full of grain. It's not quite the prairie but almost. So no bears and definitely no grizzlies. My "forest" is just the untamed part of our acreage. There are bears in provincial parks not too far away, but they just don't wander through such open areas. We used to live further North and there were many bears. Still not grizzlies. They're in the mountains.

@paigea I would think a field of grain might attract bears. They have been seen in corn fields here at times

I would likely would've ensured the wi-fi worked, before trying to decide if you could find the program you wanted.

@paigea Most wi-fi, has a very short range.

It doesn't. It's not that far from the house. Had to find a program in my phone.

Have you downloaded the program ? They say Wifi can typically reach up to 100 meters.

I couldn't figure out how to download it. It probably is less than 100 metres, but no luck. It's not that important. I'll just exercise inside.

I often get lost checking the available exercises on my phone. Well, that's not wasting time.

I guess it makes more sense to just use the ones already recorded on the TV.

Is your hubby happy when you say you sat all day doing nothing?

It is your time so you can waste it if you want.

I hope that you were able to get it going out in the bush. Even if you did not, you learned something about the app.

No wifi there. Had to use my phone and that wasn’t really satisfactory.

Not wifi. Only on my phone. That wasn't really satisfactory, but I did it.

Sometimes if I get really interested in a program or series, I can sit and watch for hours. May be some friendly wildlife might want to excercise with you,

Only the stray cat was annoyed that I was on "his" path.

I trained today too. I haven't trained for a couple of days and it's always hard for me to continue afterwards.
