I may change my mind, but as long as I don't have to remove snow I think I'll like winter better than weeks on end with the heat index in the 100s and high humidity.
I find this to be imminently true. Not having to drive makes it even better -- you won't have a subway, but shoot for a short commute!
Bear in mind that Australian possums are not closely related to New World opossums. They're more closely related to kangaroos. (See, for instance, the pic on this page: [link] This is a brushtail, the species that was introduced into NZ.)
For starts, they're not evil.
What helps me a lot with packing for trips is to continually remind myself that if I forget anything it will not be the end of the world. I can buy stuff wherever I'm going if I need to (camping and backpacking is different of course, but I am semi-professionally trained for that and it doesn't stress me out).
My sister applies this technique liberally. "We're going to ______, not Turkish prison."
I'm a proudly light packer, but in recent years I've had to bring lots of shoes when I go to shows because my feet would get bigger each night. By night four of a festival I'd be in shoes two sizes larger than normal. BUT NO MORE OF THAT!!!!!
sj - it's tree nuts, too. So we'll be marching the Other Protein Train
There is Soy Nut Butter, don't know if it's any good. [link] And there is always creamchees and jelly
mmmmmm.
Guys, I've lost like 12 pounds since January! From working really hard; I haven't done anything! I have a waist again -- it's very dippy. I love my dippy waist. Thatsa a nice curve.
I love your dippy waist too!!!!
I've dropped 10-15* lbs. since I got home from Florida (so that's the weight I put on there and a bit more) and my waist is back too!!!!
* Will I EVER have juse one weight? I suspect it will always be a range. Like, in the course of a week. Oy.
I am very jealous of all this weight-losing! Hopefully the planned working out with trainer (started today! sore) will help that. Though I need to seriously get the eating under control too. After some weird stomach issues the past few weeks, I decided to try going gluten-free for a couple weeks. One website was claiming to feel better (if you're going to) you have to be on a gluten-free diet for like, SIX WEEKS, but another said only a couple weeks. Anyone know? I'm willing to try a couple weeks and see how I feel, but if I won't know for six weeks, fuggedaboudit. Especially since I'm really kind of hoping it doesn't help, since then I'd have to give up gluten!
After all my travels, I am like unto ND, where I can get up, get ready and pack a bag, and leave for the airport 20 minutes after my alarm in the morning. I find the key (and often hardest part for me, if there is more than just work planned) is shoe selection--I always want more pairs, but they take up so much space.
Anyone awake? Very sore back/neck after a chiro appt today (it's still all locked up from the car accident) and a brain that won't shut up equals insomnia. I took 600 mg of ibuprofen but no love, and I'm out of Flexoril. Blah.
Well, I'm up, because I'm at work, and I had to drive through A BLOWING SNOW BLIZZARD (which is redundant, but) IT'S APRIL 3RD! SPRING FOR REAL AND FOR TRUE! WHY WAS THERE THREE INCHES OF SNOW ON MY CAR THIS MORNING!
Oh, yeah, mountains.
Oh, Pix, I hope you got some sleep eventually.
Oh, yeah, mountains.
Around here, it's "Oh, yeah, Minnesota." Or, as I was wont to filk when I lived in Ohio, "I'm dreaming of a white Memorial Day..."
I do not have strep throat
I don't know whether to congratulate you or not, beth. I'm glad you don't have to worry about spreading strep around, but not glad that you are feeling so crappy that it was a possibility.
sj, I would love if you sent me info on arm exercises. Thank you!
Sure! I'll send it Tuesday after I get back from my too early PT appointment.
Pix, I hope you were able to get some sleep and are feeling better today.
Beth, I hope you feel better soon as well.
Do you think my mother would notice if I stole the mattress from the guest bedroom? Best.sleep.ever.
I am afraid it might be , so I am trying to declare it not so

OIC. Well, this time of year, it's probably allergies or something having its wicked way with your throat. I know this because I never have colds, just allergies.
