Aww Jen you should totally write her a letter!
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.
'Destiny'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
Aw, man, I would like a little Tim avatar cheering me on with those increments! Does he hire out? Someone get on creating that app...
He is the ultimate small-increment champion. "Just wash dishes for 5 minutes!" "If you're too depressed to shower, just wash your face!" "Add 1 minute to your bike time!" (Of course, now that I'm up to 30 minutes 5 times a week, he's flipped the script to "You should try the hills program on the bike! It's a real challenge!" My guy, what about my life suggests I want to bike HILLS?)
And 1 minute per day is a perfectly cromulent increment. It's even a fine baseline to start with!
I literally started with 5 (very slow) minutes, and even that was a struggle. I didn't even stretch afterwards; I immediately flopped down on the bed in my best I-am-a-log impression. Fucking long Covid.

I started with 5 minutes on my rower. I'm up to 25 minutes. I SHOULD be doing it six days a week, but unfortunately, that requires mental strength, not physical strength.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Rest and recovery is also important! For real, not just me advocating laziness like I often do.

Love one another.
ND, you share a birthday with a good friend of mine -- I hope that you and she both feel well-celebrated today.
Thank you, my dear invisible friends, for giving me a place where I can just hang out when the outside world seems like it's doing its best to grind me into powder.

OK, I did one onerous task of setting up an eye appointment (....which I was supposed to have done because they wanted me to come back in January 2023). It's not until mid-June, but it's set up! Now to look up if the dermatologist I went to before is still on plan, so I can call and get a skin cancer check...probably in like October, but ah well. I also booked a trip to visit for my father's birthday.
(Edit: The dermatologist office let me make an appointment online! And it's for NEXT WEEK?! Wild)

Happy Birthday ND.
Also, fyi, it's Emancipation Day in DC

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
OK, mission partially accomplished! Just once around my block, and I live in a *very* small cul-de-sac, but I did it. My legs hurt a bit, but I'll try for another after work.

Thank you everyone. So far today is being a turd. Hopefully that will change.
