Exceedingly Mundane

WAH – I’m having a bad day. My pedometer broke this morning. I love that thing and wear it every single day.

Suzanne gave it to me for my birthday last year, in October, and I think I have worn it every single day, except maybe one or two at most, since then. It really helps me to be conscious of how much walking I do in a day, and I really use it to try to get to my 10,000 steps per day. Which, by the way, is easy if we do our walk in the subdivision.

Anyway, this morning, I tacked it on my sweat pants as normal, and a couple of hours later, I heard it go clank and hit the floor. I thought it had just popped off, it has before, but I looked down and it was in two pieces. The main part in one piece and the back side of the clip that clamps on my pants or belt was in another piece. So the plastic clip broke. I broke out the super glue (from my junk drawer!) and went to work on it. I’m going to let it sit 24 hours and hope that it won’t break again tomorrow. If not, I think I’m going to have to go get me another one. I really like wearing one every day. It makes me a lot more cognizant of taking more steps. Especially if I’m on the phone, I have a tendency to sit down and talk, and when I realize I have my pedometer on, I try to get up and pace while I talk. Things like that.
