    • Probably easier to dissect when not frozen, but they don't seem to last quite as long.  Maybe a jar of formaldehyde?       Enjoy your game time!  I have been waffling about getting BG3 but I have so many other games in my queue that I feel like I wouldn't ever get to it
    • I got to see her on her 2023 tour. I am NOT a fan of live music, usually once the crowd has passed 100 people, I'd rather listen to it digitally and have a better experience all around. Comedians live tho, the crowd work, the outtakes, I'm here for it.
    • HELL YEAH you got the job! Way to go! It’s 2x per week or 2 shifts total as a one-off? Either way if it were me, I would give it a shot and see how it goes. That child will be fortunate to get to work with somebody as compassionate and knowledgeable about MH issues as you are.   I always find it much more fun to exercise in the spring/summer ‘cause it’s so pleasant being outside, don’t need to rely on gym memberships. Do you have a bike you can get out on? Or just lean into power walking with Bronze… I bet she’d love that! (I just came in from extra walk with my youngest dog and we’re both feeling great.) Or get a weighted hula hoop and be my accountability buddy — I have to go outside to use mine or the dogs will attack me, but it’s been below zero ever since it arrived! 😭   
    • A very quick update. Today got hectic. The Man wants to go pick up his motorcycle in the next town over (30 minutes away) so I'll have to go with to drive the vehicle back while he rides home. I also need to get groceries (I think on the way home I'll stop at the store in that town rather than make a separate trip to my usual store which is 30 minutes in the opposite direction). Also, I'm working and today is big deadline day. I won't meet it simply because one vendor is closed for Good Friday and I need responses from them to finalize things. But the other vendor should be back in office after a week away today so I can at least finalize that one.   Battle Ready: It was very windy when I woke up and looked like a downpour any minute. I've been rained on when it said no rain chance so I wasn't going to risk it. Plus, I had forgotten to set out clothes thinking the Man usually gets up early to work out Friday anyway and I only had flowy pajama bottoms and a hoodie top to try to ride peloton in (not ideal considering I'd be riding topless if I didn't want to die of heatstroke and the flowy bottoms might get caught in pedals.) Depending on when we need to leave tomorrow to head to the baseball game, I might try for a run, even if it's shorter than I planned. Weather and time restriction dependent, of course. Worst case, I'll run Sunday since there won't be any grocery shopping.   Edible Alchemy: I got a meal plan sorted out for the next 2 weeks plus the weekend between working the Fire Department and grocery list made. I have a few perishable items on a secondary grocery list I'll have to pick up next Friday. I'll go first then when they open to miss the madness of anyone traveling in that day and hopefully the store will still have stock. Today I will have my meal prepped food and will have some leftovers. The dogs can have my chicken but the rest, unfortunately, will have to be tossed. I need to figure out what to have Sunday as we'll be meal prepping and usually have something together. Since tomorrow is our cheat day of the week by eating out, I'll need to keep it paleo or at least not a total, off-the-rails meal. I have until about 1pm today to figure it out and get it on my meal plan and grocery list.   In-Edible Alchemy: I'm looking at sunscreen for this summer and maybe making my own. Most sunscreen leaves my skin burning and my face breaks out. I bought a nice big floppy hat and have a beach hoodie to help protect everything except my legs so far so I'm fairly well protected by shade in that regard. I'm not sure what it is in the sunscreen that my skin doesn't like, but I've found a few recipes with only 2 ingredients I've not tested - carrot seed oil and red raspberry seed oil. Everything else I've tried on my skin with no reaction. Doing more research, but something I'm looking into.   Knowledge Acquisition: I haven't done a dang thing except print one of the pages requiring filled out. I'll have to dig deep Sunday after meal prep to get ahead on that. The paper can be written once the document is properly filled out so my priority is to figure out how to tutor the Man in what the document fill out entails.   Mirror, Mirror: I finished Day 5 of the 7 Days of Posture Improvement. I have to do today's, tomorrow's, and Sunday's to be complete. Tomorrow will be more of a challenge unless I can squeeze it in early. I woke up early this morning remembering my dream but since the Man didn't get up, I allowed myself to go back to sleep until I woke up naturally. I don't remember that dream anymore. Oops. Need to reflect on Rune and Oracle from yesterday and how it applied to my day.   Mundane Magic: Didn't manage my 7 Days of Managing Stress meditation yesterday. Work got crazy with last minute calls and issues that pushed me into dinner and beyond. I barely squeezed in my Posture Improvement workout of 10 minutes. I did meditate a few minutes last night before bed, though. Already did my Greet the Day this morning during a short break in the cloud cover when I felt it was least likely for the sky to open suddenly. Once I post this, I'll be pulling my daily Rune and Oracle and reflecting on yesterdays.   Bartering: Other than Sunday's meals, I'm only at $260 for two weeks of food, which is awesome. I will say there's about $50 in perishable items for next Friday, but even with that included, it's about what I'd spend weekly. I'll take it! I'm going very conservative and getting extras since they'll be used no matter what. I'd rather have too much than too little. Tomorrow with the game I'll have to be careful, but things are looking okay budget-wise. I'm ahead of the curve since my credit card is paid for April so if I get into a pinch, excess that would otherwise go towards paying it down can be shifted elsewhere. I also have $300 set aside for the truck which offsets fairly large chunk. I received my final disclosure today stating my loan is finalized. I have 20 days to get the title from my previous lender to the DNV - the payment is due in 19 days so this is good news. The previous loan should be paid in full, the title sent to me, and I'll have it  submitted to the DNV by the prior payment due date. Meaning I'm in the clear and that helps me budget better having that finalized.     Alright, I need to get to work. I hope today and the entire weekend is sunny, beautiful, and full of joy!

    • Hey didnt have as much time as i had hoped yesterday.    So couldnt write much.    I have a LOT of anxiety.    I had a job interview on Wednesday. 6 hours per week, support worker for a 13 year old who has complex mental health needs.    I got the job.    But i am absolutely thinking it is the wrong decision. And i cant get rid of the anxiety i am feeling and its horrid.    Its not even very long!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6 hours (so 2 3 hour slots)   Ughhhhhhhhh.    Anyway. I NEED TO FIGURE OUT AN EXERCISE ROUTINE.    I hate myself.    More later, just popping out with Bronze ❤️ xx
    • I second all of this (though I haven't had the spoiler before, I've heard great things)
    • Thanks TG ❤️    xx      
    • Day 3 - Wednesday Stuck to the core menu plan with no extras.  Calories were very low with 447 calories left over (that includes workout calories).  I didn't really feel overly hungry though so I'm not too worried.  There is a spell in the afternoons where I am feeling hungry but I've had my snack and then I get busy.  By dinner I'm not really that hungry.  I was low on energy for the gym though.  It is shark week so that's draining all my energy.  I felt like just half assing it.  Honestly, I felt like skipping it and half assing it was the compromise.  But once I got there I just whole assed it until I got to the core bits and skipped that part.  Got all stretching done and some primal squatting.     Day 4 - Thursday Appetite seems to be normalizing.  I was hungry during the day but didn't have any extra snacks, even though there was room.  I was banking on something bigger for dinner and eyeing the cheese curds in the fridge with gravy on my mind.  I was low on energy again but wanted to get a walk in.  DDG tried to give me an out but we went for the walk anyway.  We just capped it at 2 miles so we could get home and relax.  When I went to plan some dinner I found some store bought naan that needed used immediately so I popped some chicken fingers in the air fryer and made that gravy.  The gravy was served over chicken atop the naan with side salads.  It was very tasty.  No need for dessert.  Due to exercise calories and a few extra leftover I had total 300 leftover for the day.
