'Just Rewards (2)'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
So, I am doing a five-day fruit fast to kick-start my "Healthy Eating Which Will Hopefully Lead to Some Weight Loss" plan. A bit drastic, but I have found a shock to the system is really good to break my crazy-ass eating habits.
Also, I am tired of none of my clothes fitting.
P-C, you are right, I just checked. Never mind, Nora!
Good luck with your fast, Scrappy! I am such a protein ho, I can't even imagine doing that for one day. My body is freaking out hungry right now since I've started work again.
In StW news - I generally have trouble sharing a bed with someone, I don't know why. He spent the night on Saturday, and I slept pretty well; last night, I actually had a bit of trouble getting to sleep because he WASN'T there. It was kind of nice, in a weird way, I don't know if that makes sense.
Go Scrappy! We'll be happy to cheer you on. I've done a cleansing diet from time to time, usually with msbelle as my cleanse partner, and it's really a nice way to become more self-aware around eating.
The SO & I were talking about doing a juice fast for a bit.
And because it needs its own post, I just found out a former student just lost her grandmother and cousin to an apparent double murder on the Apache reservation today. The BIA is investigating so it sounds like they're waiting on the feds to arrive from Flagstaff. (One of the vagaries of pseudo-sovereignty: tribal police have authority up to a certain point, but the feds have jurisdiction over capital cases like rape and murder. Of course, those cases aren't usually on federal radar, so justice is often slipshod at best. Another classic example of institutional racism at work.)
Anyway, it's horrible and my former student is upset, of course, and I'm frustrated because there's little we can do.
Oh how awful, Liese.
That's terrible, Liese.
How awful, Liese. It is tough enough to lose loved ones by natural causes, but a violent loss adds another level of grief.
Liese,
ugh. It has to be a family member, right? I mean no stranger is going to run up on them like that right?
Who knows, at this point? But yeah, a grandmother and her granddaughter, it doesn't exactly sound like a drug deal gone bad. And it happened in their home, I think.
