I'd like it if we had a way to let ppl know when, although we appear to be online in DS, we're actually away from our desk.

I often have DS minimized on my taskbar and ppl think I'm rude if I don't get back to their messages or hugs etc in a timely manner.

I'm going out for a walk now. AFK for about an hour.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
