[Prudence]

How is it possible that I already have every weekend and free Friday booked between now and mid-May? When will I find time to outline? When will I have time to finish sewing projects? Heck, when will I have a spare moment to myself?

But I now have a treadmill. I will now use the treadmill faithfully. It will make me slightly achy, but for my slight daily pennance will reward me with increased endurance, improved cardiovascular workings, less asthmatic wheezing, more energy to handle the booked weekends, and, last but definitely not least, smaller pants.

Okay, the treadmill doesn't exactly dispense pants (although the way I go through pants that would be superb), but it will allow me to aquire pants in smaller sizes that actually fit my entire butt.
