go out of the house once a day

With the arrival of spring, and the clocks changing, it’s staying light a lot later in the evenings now. So this means that instead of it being dark by the time I finish work, there’s enough light left for me to go out and take a decently long walk in the woods. I’ve also been trying to go out at lunchtime – and actually managing it sometimes. And if I do that, I do notice a bit of a difference in the afternoons.

Still not happening. Other than essential trips (work, groceries, dentist yesterday), I just don’t seem to get out of the house. It’s entirely my own fault; I guess it just can’t be that important to me. After all, it’s scary outside – much safer to stay in the house…
Oh phooey, that’s just silly, and there’s no excuse. I need to get out and get some fresh air every day. Time to keep a log of whether I did or not, and if not what feeble excuse I came up with.

The intention of this is not just step outside the front door. However, it’s going to be a difficult one. As I telework, I have to be in between 9am and 6pm – most communication is by email, but my colleagues do occasionally phone me, and I have to be there to answer.
So, I have two options. Go out at lunchtime, on the understanding that if someone calls and I’m not there tough, it’s my lunch break. Or go out some time in the evening.
