I actually did pretty good at getting things done yesterday. All the boxes with stuff to be gone through are in one place in the living room. There's under a dozen, of which 3 or 4 are glass things that need to be wrapped and repacked in sturdier boxes for storage. Kitchen is as done as it can be, dining room is done with writing area set up (and a ( Read more... )

Seriously. We are moved, but oh man, that was exhausting. I am sooo thankful for the people who did help, even if we did have to pay one of them. I've been running almost non-stop since about 10 AM Friday morning: was packing and loading and unloading then cleaning until 4 AM and didn't actually get to bed (since stuff had to be put in the ( Read more... )

I seriously struggled with everything most of last week: weight went way up; clouds rolled in and my big, beautiful windows are no help if there's no sun; there was a pet disaster; and the house stress is back on in a big way. Honestly, the only plus to last week was managing to plow through 13 chapters of Charms, 10 of them on Friday - Sunday. ( Read more... )

So, did my stretching again after 4 days of not doing it and...yea, OWE! lol I also tried my step DVD, which is definitely for beginners. And I? Am definitely a beginner. The 5 minutes warm up seemed to work for me. So now I have a nice variety of low impact, low energy exercises (stretching, 5 min warm up step, walking, my 7 minute cor from Core ( Read more... )

And, yes, today would be one of them ( Read more... )

No words today. I was tired last night and ended up going to bed early. I really think some of that is the blood pressure thing, but I'm also working in the exercise at night, which is different. I'm sure I'll adjust to everything and get back on track. It does look like the water weight gain might be stabilizing. If so, I'm relieved. I didn't ( Read more... )

And I kinda needed it. I'm feeling the lack of the bp pills-my head is pounding, there;s a slight puffy sensation in my ankles, and feeling...not as energetic, I guess? And I really need to stay away from the scale. From what I've seen online, I could gain up to 6-8 pounds and it could take as long as 3 weeks to get it back off. And it's really ( Read more... )

This was an annoying week. I generally felt good, I got most of my goals crossed off, but it just didn't go well ( Read more... )

Didn't write a new chapter this past week. I'm at the point on Mists where I'm caught up to my notes/building draft combo and need to expand it before I can write the next few 0/rough draft chapters. And with Tirs, I've just started a Narrative/Notes draft combo. The rough draft barely has interesting lines; anything before that has nuthin'. lol ( Read more... )

I honestly didn't mean to totally vanish yesterday. Tuesday ended up being...very hard. It was non-stop phone calls with good and bad tangling together the whole day and next to no sleep. It was a mess. I usually stay up all night, make sure my son's up at 5:25 to get ready for school, then read for a few before crashing. Didn't make it to 4 AM ( Read more... )
