THE DAILY GRIND.

Ah, the beginning of the work week.

Sedentary life is exhilarating, I must say. I bet people who move around all day for a living are probably jealous of me. Sad face.

But on a serious note, most days I wish Richard Simmons, my fitness and fashion idol, would hire me as his apprentice. Only because he moves his body beyond a fifteen-foot radius on a daily basis. My sister, a teacher, also moves more in one day than I do all week. Unfortunately, my job only allows me to bob up and down in my cube. Occasionally, I gesticulate, allowing the blood to flow back to my hands and cerebral cortex.

Admittedly, I envy you wage earners with superior cardiovascular health. So today, I am taking a stand against sitting. I guarantee that this song will get me out of my swivel chair. With Richard as my witness, I intend to stand up, shake my hips, and actually dance. If you suffer from high blood pressure or are pregnant, I recommend that you avert your eyes.
