But Gud, the question remains, did you get a fan??

Dana that sucks.

I am two days into a new diet and exercise plan and I am SO SORE. I'm supposed to work out again tonight and I'm like "I can't even get in and out of my chair without weird contortions, how am I supposed to lift weights? L

Not yet. It'll be after the next meeting when I can walk over to the store.

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

Oh no, Dana, I hope everything's okay

FWIW meara, sometimes I feel less sore after another workout. And there's always naproxen if that doesn't help. Speaking of, my back tweaked out yesterday, now I gotta decide if it will behave for stretch class tonight. May need to modify the exercises for myself.

Burrell, that's what I'm hoping but we'll see. Not sure how much workout I'll be able to DO, really! And this is after naproxen AND tylenol (well, just tylenol this morning, naproxen in the middle of the night)

Moody funk. Therapy yesterday where therapist repeatedly told me I hold myself to unrealistic standards. So I am trying to focus on being gentle with myself, setting achievable daily goals and string myself on the back.

At work today I am focusing on getting papers off my desk. So far so good.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Standards are tough, too low and nothing gets done, to high and you drove yourself nuts.

Today is CJ's birthday. My little man is 20. First time he met Buffistae was at the Nillyque. I took him out to breakfast this morning and now he and his girlfriend are hanging at the house.

I feel ancient. My kids are 20 and 26!!!

Well apparently I've wrapped all the way around to keeping high expectations of self that are no longer realistic with expanded life responsibilities and get overwhelmed so do nothing or very little which starts shame spiral/depression which means even less motivation. Rinse repeat x 8-9 years.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

That sounds familiar, msbelle. I'm sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Be gentle with yourselves, friends!

Happy birthday, CJ! I freaked my mother out the other day with how old I am. It made me laugh. Oh, which reminds me - I am going to get my hair colored, but not if I don't call for an appointment!

Then I remembered, oh yeah, I work for a big box hardware store.

Hee.
