I'm trying to convince myself I don't need this.
No, get one! Then I'll have someone I know to maybe do some of the challenges with.
I need all the external motivation I can get.

Laura, I hope things turn out OK for your MiL.
Hot Namesake Bartender that sent me a Christmas card last year was tending for my first post-diet meal out today. He's grown his buzz cut out to a shaggy mane and growna trim beard, oddly increasing his resemblance to (clean-shaven) James Marsden and prompting me to upgrade him to Smoking Hot Namesake Bartender.
Everyone tips $5 or more for lunch, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And it is Saturday. I have had acupuncture for the elbow I jacked up dramatically yesterday (amused me that they mistook muscles for injury-swelling "Wait, ita--show me your left arm. Oh, never mind." But it hurts.
Father and sister dropped off at the mall, additional bandaging (knee and elbow braces, etc) and exercise drinks purchased, and after a quick nap I'll be off to our last training session, from 1:30 to 7:30 today.
And then will come Sunday and the real deal.
Excuse me while I go make wallpaper for this PC that says "Stop shutting down my applications!" Every time I come back to it, someone's closed down something I'm used to being eternally open.
Sharing my space is hard enough. Keep your hands off my CPU.

Aaaaaaaaaaargh. The plan was to put up the built-in bookshelves today. We went super-simple with these -- wall standards & brackets, simple wood shelves.
The problem is I can't find any freaking wall studs to hang them on! Everywhere the stud finder says there should be a stud, I can't find one when I drill in. So I'm just ending up making tiny holes along my baseboard for no reason. (Very tiny, and they'll be behind the couch, but still. I want my shelves!)
Anyone want to come build my bookshelves for me? I'll make cookies...

Good luck tomorrow, ita!
I've done nothing of use so far today. Need to remedy that....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, sara.
Oh, boy. I just leant on my elbow by mistake, screamed, fell onto the bed, whimpered, and felt my teeny migraine get a skosh bigger.
From some perspectives I'm fucked for tomorrow. It remains to be seen which perspective I choose.
Off to the mines.

Quite probably.

I have work to do. my remote desktop will not connect. I wish this wasn't a deadline situation, because I am in the midset to get a bunch of house stuff done. Stoopid computers.

Go use ita's computer! Everyone else is!
Seriously, sorry your day is being thwarted by computers.
Everytime I start to be productive one of the cats intervenes with cute and I end up cuddling them and doing nothing. Guess I should head out.
