Gotta Shift That Weight

Hi, I'm overweight. I'm also kinda buff, like I can lift about seventy pounds easily though I have to be careful of my knees because, duh, I'm overweight. I come in well over 200 pounds and I'm only 5,5. Don't think it escapes my notice that if I was taller I'd be considered much less …

Ford includes Self Destruct Mechanism

I've been busy. In lighter news Ford F150 trucks, which blight the roads in droves where I live, (Ever have to get past one in a parking lot or see past one to turn?) apparently have a feature where the seat belts/mechanism will tighten through use of a mild explosion during the course of an …

The Enigma of Carving Knives

I was at a Tuesday Morning with my mother on one of her rare visits to the city where I live and we were looking at knife sets. I was trying to pick a good one and looking at the options available. Paring knife, fruit and veg knife long knife and carving knife. One of …

Disney’s Descendants, Oh, the Problems

An internet reviewer recommended Descendants, I can't remember which reviewer but I do know that I trust their opinion, most of the time. I eagerly rented it from Amazon and sat down to watch what I hoped would be a movie to make my heart soar and give me all the feels I could desire. …

Shrimp!

Some might call a George Foreman grill a unitasker. Personally, I cook everything on it just like I would a regular grill. Today was shrimp skewers. Look at the shrimpieeeees! Yum. I then cooked some hatch peppers and cut them into strips. Once you discard the idiotic idea that you shouldn't oil the meat before …

Sigh

Monday exercise injured my ankle. I nursed it yesterday and today it's a little stiff. The lesson here is just because you can do mountain climbers at full intensity does not mean you should, specifically not at 200 plus pounds. Live and learn. Maybe Yoga for a while? Tai Chi has been part of my …

Day Whatever The Mad Rush to Look Good

Well, I restarted Piit 28 Round 1 again and I can do more than when I started before, that's for sure. I decided I had to begin again because exercise helps with anxiety and less anxiety means less want to eat foods bad for me and do stupid things. Also, school starts in less than …

Bleeeeeeeaaaaah

Sick. Forgot what day I'm on. I did write a novella through camp Nanowrimo in July, though. I'm editing and will be done in perhaps a month, considering how long it will take to format it and put together a cover. I've  been working on my cursive and preparing to start calligraphy. I've also started …

Day 49

My asthma is killing me. The Sahara dust actually gave me flu-like symptoms a few days ago. I'm off aerobic exercise for the time being. Tomorrow, yoga. Happily my camp Nanowrimo novella is going well. I'm almost finished. I want to be done with the rough draft by the twentieth so I can spend the …

Day 46 New Job? also (FB D 3)

So long old new job, I don't miss you at all. Apparently I can't deal with call center work any more. My right ear still throbs from the static, the tinny answering machines and the yelling. What was I thinking? Oh, I remember, I was thinking that I'm broke. It'll probably turn out fine, the …

Day 42: The Great Sweltering Outdoors

I had to do stuff today. I don't have a car and we live near the post office and the bank. It was also relatively cooler, only a little over 90, I think. Still the sun was bright and painful and I felt like throwing up a couple times.   I took out my kick …
