So glad the mammogram results came back fine! What a relief!   I support your decision to have a Snarky-centric Summer and do all the wonderful things without crowding your brain. I will really, *really* miss you if you don’t come back to us, though. Not that I intend that as pressure if you decide you’d rather not, but just saying.   Popsicles: Del Monte made some fancy ones I had a while ago. Some were strawberry and others were blood orange I think? Either way, they were incredible. For standard popsicles I like the grape and orange ones, but I am open to many frozen confections. I love love love creamsicles and fudgecicles as well. I think you should do a tiny doodle of each popsicle you have over the summer and make it a fun archive. 

Good luck, Darling! You’ve got this! ❤️ 

Thanks, Laghail!   I sure do!! ❤️    Thanks, Mistr.  Yes, everything working and not wearing out would be nice. We aren’t traveling for fun lately, but things like Houseguest showing up and Dave needing to travel for work are cramping our style. I am definitely not buying stuff, but we ate out a lot the past few weeks and that always adds up so quickly. I am sorry that Elf and Cleo are both unemployed right now, that is so tough.    Right? Feels like a victory to me!     Hi Friends!   I remembered to put the garbage on the curb yesterday in my fit of Adulting and got to listen as it got picked up a moment ago. Victory! I had a very productive and affirming day yesterday. Appointment went very well, errands were completed with no overspend on things I didn’t need, housework was accomplished (even more than I had originally intended to do! I can now see the floor in the laundry room!), and then I spent the late afternoon and evening trying to work with World Anvil to get my gaming stuff sorted out. That was slow going and honestly a bit frustrating at times, but I started to make more progress when I moved off my tablet and went up to the desktop in my office. The format on each machine is slightly different and the desktop is a bit easier for me to navigate. Having a mouse also helps. I don’t use a mouse with my iPad, just a keyboard. Right now I see getting the world into World Anvil as a massive uphill task, but I think it will be good for me if I can commit to getting it done.    I ate like a goblin yesterday. No wheat, but lots of peanut butter and Nutella, a little bit of chips, no real protein to speak of. I did make some rice and roasted some sweet potato for supper and ate it with some mango and ginger Stilton and some baby cucumbers. Delicious components, slightly weird all together. But it could have been worse, so I will take the win such as it is and move on. Today is a new day and I can do different things with it.    My card today was Six of Intelligence from the D&D deck. Intelligence is Swords in the D&D deck, and wow, does it feel like I am pulling Swords a lot lately. Building on the perspective shift and pause of yesterday’s Hanged Man, Six of Intelligence is all about freeing yourself from burdens and old ways of thinking. I feel like I am pretty unburdened but I think I might be too close to the trees to see the forest? I am not sure what I need to be thinking about here. Many of my usual trains of thought (health and fitness, creativity, game, relationships, etc.) all feel pretty well understood. But it’s hard to know what you don’t know. 😅   I think I am going to take a quick bath before work. I hope that you have a brilliant day full of clarity and insight and tasty, crunchy snacks. Thanks for being here. ❤️ 

04/21:  214.6  (+3.4)   Illness and total disregard for fitness goals leads pretty much where you'd expect.  I wanted comforts and sought them in the usual places--mainly the ice-cream freezer, with assists from the candy aisle and the melty-cheese cadre.  I think I'm all comforted up now, so hopefully I can get back on course for the remainder of this week.

Good luck!

I'm glad you stayed safe!

Hey all.    Been a real whirlwind challenge.    Saturday night we had 10 people over somehow all in the living room. Drinking / music / horror films.    2am and people still going, i drank alcohol free beer until 1.30am - then moved onto tea HAHA   Funny and strange to be sober, with a cup of tea, whilst everyone else is doing tequila shots!!!! 😯   Everton won on Sunday for the first time in forever. And we hung out with our friend all afternoon/evening. Took Bronze who had a blast with their dog.              I went to the docs, they think i have tendonitis. So need to get ibuprofen gel.  me and Roxy are going to try to eat less meat. I have got some veggie chicken to try tonight. I hope i like it. Its the main thing i never liked (i prefer veggie mince and i like veggie sausages etc but never found chicken that i like)    It is a new one so fngers crossed.    Love you all xx

Hormones and eventually a razor has solved this problem for me .
