Today is 'change bed linen' day in the Peach household.  First things first, lock all cats out of the room as Kitten is dim and climbs into the duvet cover to try to 'help.'

Next, take off all sweaty smelly bed linen and dump in linen basket.  Decide you need the lighter duvet which of course is in the cupboard in the bathroom that I am too short to get to so I have to find the ladder which is outside in the shed and lug the blasted thing up the stairs only to find I have left shoes downstairs and I can't climb the ladder in bare feet or I'll go base over apex and score a one way ticket to A&E.  Back down the stairs, find shoes, and back up the stairs.

Finally find the light duvet and set about remaking the bed.  By now I have been at this for 15 minutes.  Sheets, pillow cases done in the swish of a kitten's tail; only the duvet cover to go.

Hateful evil duvet from hell rolls into a ball inside the cover so I end up climbing inside to find which corner goes where and I swear the corners of the pigging ar** of a duvet has lost all it's corners.  The kitten arrives and climbs in with me.  "Oh look, a human game.  I must participate..."  Asked Kitten, how did you get in here?  He tells me I am a stupid human who foolishly left the door open whilst playing with the ladder.  Grrr.

Eventually I give up on the duvet figuring it's warm, I'll sleep under a sheet.  I stuff the buggering thing under the bed, retrieve Kitten from half way up the curtains and go to the garden to sulk.

I consult Fitbit.  Fitbit tells me I have zero active minutes!!!  Oh good grief, what the hell is wrong with you?  Didn't you see the whole ladder/ duvet fight/ kitten chasing workout I just did?  Thirty flaming

minutes and you think I've been doing nothing except inspecting belly button fluff???

By now I am complaining loudly and my neighbour pokes his head over the fence to find out what gives?  He's now convinced I'm a nutter.  He could be right.  So, is my Fitbit broken or is it me who was lost the plot?

For active minutes to register, your heartrate has to be above a certain treshhold for atleast 10 minutes. Unfortunately, this means when you are working hard, but take a minute to put on your shoes that you left downstairs, the active minutes might reset as your heartrate might lower while you do that.

For more info on active minutes please check out this link.

But what really matters in the end is that you did it. And I enjoyed reading the story you wrote.

I hear you @Esya so it was stopping to put the shoes on and extracting the kitten from the room.  I like the following alternative too...
