It’s a Hobby

 What I need is a team to do my posting for me.  I have a hard time figuring out how Instagram works with FB.  But I’ll figure it out.  It’s all a hobby along with my pipe smoking.  It’s not about numbers.  If I wanted to be an influencer for pipe smoking I’d probably worry about every little thing.  Been there and done that in regard to my Angels.  

It’s why I got away from all social media to begin with.  I got into my Angels too much and simply decided it was all too much.  Now I don’t care.  I say what I want in my blog here and move on.  I can’t say I don’t care.  I care just enough.  I’ll get it all figured out.  And if I lose numbers in the process, I just don’t care.  I’m too old to worry about numbers.  It all just keeps me occupied.  

But at least I’m trying and won’t give up.  My Angels keep me plenty occupied.  Add my Internet use and my pipe smoking and I’m plenty occupied even if I screw up in the process.  I’m always learning.  And my Angels didn’t make me perfect—just better.  If I worried about perfection I’d go nuts.  I’m crazy enough as it is.  I don’t need FB or Instagram to make me crazier!

If I wanted to change I’d do that.  I thought about joining a gym, but as the weather gets cooler, I can go back to taking walks.  We aren’t sure where we will be in six months, so joining a gym is impractical.  I’ll get enough exercise and if I need to I can get some weights to work on upper body strength.  But in a way I get plenty of exercise.  My wife and I go shopping quite often and most times is a mile walk.  Granted we stop a lot while shopping and if I get bored I straighten shelves.

I know a lot about straightening shelves.  My wife sometimes wonder why I do it, and for me it fights boredom.  But I try to stay busy while she shops.  Otherwise I feel as though I am just in the way.  And I’ll mosey to the wine section unless there is something else I want to buy.  But my grocery list is pretty short.  I might want to pick out my own cereal.  But I just try to stay busy while we shop.  

Some stores have their own way of doing things.  When we go to Walmart I leave stuff alone.  At other stores if something is out of place and I know where something goes, I’ll put the item where it belongs.  The only exception is canned goods.  That’s how I get my exercise.  I just hate standing still.  Even when smoking a pipe.  Sitting is okay but I just can’t stand just to be standing.  I have to have a reason to get up and move around.  

I just don’t like to think I sit too much.  My Apple Watch tracks my movement and most days I move around enough.  And if I’m on the Internet with my phone I’m always doing something with it if just reading the news.  I’m smoking my Gettysburg pipe this morning with some Captain Black Original.  My coffee this morning is from Guatemala.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
