Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Well, I managed to avoid the worst of the weather getting home. Our yard has some branches in it, but not large chunks of tree, which I've seen elsewhere. Unfortunately, we have no power, which is why we are sitting in a Barnes and Noble, using the wi-fi.

Still need to pack, as we are heading to my folks' place for their 50th anniversary party this weekend. Sigh...

JZ, there's a line on the second page of the judgement (not the part where the first couple pages are summarizing) and they're saying something about stickers on trucks which you're probably familiar with ("How's my driving? Call 202-867-5309"). And the number they chose to use is of course, the Jenny number.

Sheryl, be sure to take back-up cameras to the big event. I forgot my Flip for my folks' 50th, and ended up depending on a disposable camera that only had three horrible unlit photos of the proceedings turn out.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Got my restoration letter in the mail!!!

It says that my driving priviledges are retored effective June 4th.

Now I just need to dig out my six points of identification for the DMV.

Does an expired passport count?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ahem...

Oh yeah, and pics of me preggers! Which DH would love to have again. (Just the pics, not me preggers I HOPE!!)

As for the issue of exercise as stress relief, I've gotten to that point although I don't think it's my natural state. It has taken a few years of exercise-as-slog for me to develop the excercise-as-relief reaction. And not all exercise is destressing for me. Stretching is because it releases lots of GABA, whereas strength training is just tiring but feels worth it later.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Martial arts as stress reliever? Pretty much incomparable.

I keep trying to tell my mother to take one. I think she would be good.

Speaking of exercise my class was cancelled today, not by me. Sadness. You know what isn't stress relieving? Driving in rush hour traffic to take the kids to *their* exercise class. But watching Franny jump on the trampoline is almost worth it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I do generally feel better on days when I exercise than days when I don't, but using that knowledge to make myself exercise doesn't necessarily work. Because being tired happens.

That said, I have lost 60 pounds since September with my pretty-consistent-but-not-strict dieting and not-really-that-regular-but-better-than-I-was-doing-before-September exercise, so, um, Courage t /Dan Rather .
