Middle-aged person's daily exercise program

[szandara]

The key to this program's success is living in a two-story house with an attic. Here's how it works:

Start downstairs. Realize something you need/want is upstairs.
Run up stairs.
Once upstairs, find something that really should be downstairs.
Run down stairs.
Put object you found away. Realize the thing you originally went upstairs to get is still upstairs.
Run up stairs.
Get distracted. Clean something, or make the bed, or get sucked into the gaping maw of the internet. Get hungry.
Run down stairs.
Realize original thing you needed/wanted is still upstairs. Facepalm.
Run up stairs.
Find original item. Find something else that belongs downstairs.
Run downstairs.
Hear phone ringing. Realize you left phone upstairs.
Run upstairs.
Answer phone. Put down items you had in your hands when you ran upstairs to answer the phone. Hang up on telemarketer. Convey feelings via profanity (optional).
Run back downstairs, because you're still hungry. Stand in front of refrigerator for a few minutes.
Make and eat lunch (optional).
Where's that thing I wanted earlier? Oh, right, it's still upstairs.
Run up stairs.
Go into a different room than the one where you answered the phone. Forget why you came upstairs.
Run down stairs.
Repeat.

Bonus round: Realize thing you wanted is actually in the attic!
Run up stairs, run up second flight of stairs.

Repeat until day is over, substituting dinner for lunch (probably not optional by this point).
