Battle Log September 17, 2016 OMGosh! Guys! This is the first challenge where I've been here. The whole time. For better or worse! Also! With Allergy medicine I feel a lot better! I'm feeling hyped tonight. And, I think I've almost successfully fixed my computer. I'll know how successfully within the hour. I also beat General DOMS tonight! I'm also super ready for bed. lol I think I may be finding my bed time.

Psh bra's are overrated. lol I hope you have a relaxing evening.

Haha you can do whatever you like. Some people do a week 0 for the next 4 week challenge though.

Battle Log September 16, 2016 OMG so today. I went to the Yoga class for the first time. I don't know why I put it off so long. It was a pretty great decision. After the class though, I realized I locked my keys in my car. Which is so like me. And at such an inopportune time. I had less than an hour to get to class for a test today. Luckily, a friend was able to come pick me and we made it on time. And I passed my test so yay! The AAA guy who came and rescued me later was pretty awesome too. Major thumbs up to him. Was not very productive with the rest of my day though. I'm kind of beat. I did buy Allergy medicine so we'll see how that helps me. I think I'm going to head to bed early too. I have a fun filled day of work ahead of me tomorrow. Yay.

I hadn't really considered it until I read your message. So I checked my sinuses and they're a little sore, I do have a post nasal drip, and I've been having a fever. So allergies are probably what's going on. I don't normally get them so I really hadn't considered it, but I think you're on to something. I may need to pick up some allergy medicine and see how that helps. I honestly don't know why I hadn't even considered a sinus problem though. I think I was in denial lol. I don't have dry eyes. I wear contacts and keep eye drops handy for my eyes. The pain appears to be sinus pressure and it makes me super tired.

You got this! Gotta do ALL the things!

I love this gif so much, just made me want to go curl up with a blanket. lol I however cannot do that.

Battle Log September 15, 2016 Today was a long day. A hard test I'm pretty sure I failed. And an evening spent studying for another test tomorrow. I had a good time at the gym though, so that's something! And had a pre-workout nap in my car while I waited for my training time. I was going to go study somewhere but by the time I got any place I would have had to turn around and go back to the gym. So yay for short naps. It was a nice day out too. I should have spread a blanket out on the grass and laid there. I somehow think that would have been frowned on though. lol My eyes are fighting me for control so let's wrap this up. haha Strength: 11x / 12x Dexterity: 2x / 4x, 0x / 2x Stamina: 70.33 mi / 140mi Constitution: 187hr 36min / 220hr Wisdom: 40hr/ 80hr Charisma: 47x / 20x, 26x / 28x So for the majority of this semester (like mid August) I've just been having nightmares all the time. I've had a lot of unrestful sleep. You wouldn't know that based on my fitbit. I put the hours in and for the most part stay still at night, but my brain has other plans it seems. I've also found that I in general just need more sleep. At this point 7 hours has me functioning as almost a normal human. 8 hours has me not feeling like I need an IV of caffeine. But no matter how many hours I get, I still wake up tired, with sore eyes. Like at this point of the night, my eyes physically hurt. And that happens throughout the day in varying degrees. These are all just new things to me, I feel like there's some underlying cause I'm missing, but I honestly don't have the energy right now to contemplate it. haha And, I don't drink coffee. gasp! The only time I do is if I'm gonna be up for more than 24 hours. Which needless to say, doesn't happen very often. I'm trying to limit all of my caffeine in take. I don't drink any anymore at this point, except for the tea version of caffeine every now and then.

I have a few of those really soft blankets in the back of my car and I consider just snuggling up in those while I'm in class. But probably not the best plan. I struggle to be awake regardless in some of my longer classes. Like the one I have in 30 minutes. Their lecture is reading from the power point slides that we all have a copy of, in not a very engaging way, sooo staying alert can be a challenge in itself. I agree with you though. Sweating in a classroom is no fun. At least with the cold you can throw a sweater or something on if needed.

So I'm just seeing this thread now, been a bit busy and haven't been perusing the forums much. But! I'm a nursing student and this group seems pretty awesome. I'd like to be a part of you guys Especially if you'll be up next challenge!

What's up with schools and wanting to freeze us out? Although, one of our coldest classrooms is controlled by the hospital we're attached to, which makes perfect sense.

Lol today may actually be an acceptable day outdoors for it, but while I'm in classes, two of my rooms are kept at like sub-zero temperatures so hot drinks aren't a bad idea. I just got out of my microbiology class today thinking that I really should have brought the hoodie that I looked at before I left.

Battle Log September 14, 2016 So today has been a bit hectic. Running around my home town then back out to where I go to college, then to the gym, and to another dinner that was supposed to be for my mom but I guess she was too sick to attend herself. We all had a good time though. I'm hurting though lol thankfully that mandated yoga part of the challenge is coming in handy even though I've been neglecting it. Now if only there was a cure for always being tired, even if you get a good amount of sleep at night. Strength: 10x / 12x Dexterity: 1x / 4x, 0x / 2x Stamina: 67.99mi / 140mi Constitution: 180hr 26min / 220hr Wisdom: 37hr/ 80hr Charisma: 44x / 20x, 25x / 28x I try very hard to be kind to myself, I make sure to consider everything. Self-reflection is a normal thing for me. I do have a habit of focusing on the negatives but I make a point to think about positives too. And sleep is a wonderful thing. And according to my FitBit I'm getting on average 7ish hours of sleep of night but no matter how much sleep I get I wake up as tired or more tired than I started. It's incredibly frustrating. But maybe I'll figure something out?

Battle Log September 13, 2016 Lot'sa running around. I had class and then gym time with my trainer. She kicked my butt today, but it was good! It was my Momma's birthday so I went back home and we had a birthday party for her. Twas a good night. I got to see my niece! And my puppy! We had a good time. I was beat though, like almost always now, though, so I was done when we got home. I was asleep really quickly. Strength: 9x / 12x Dexterity: 0x / 4x, 0x / 2x Stamina: 65.72mi / 140mi Constitution: 172hr 25min / 220hr Wisdom: 35hr 30min/ 80hr Charisma: 43x / 20x, 24x / 28x

Hot Cider doesn't sound that bad right now. Bring me some while I'm in class!

Battle Log September 12, 2016 To start with, I did not get to see my niece. They changed their plans again. So I ended up taking like a 2 hour nap, and that was more or less nice until I woke up to my screaming little cousins. I really need to get sleep at night so that taking naps to survive aren't necessary anymore. I also did a lot of self-reflection today and cried it out some. I did feel better after that, so maybe I need to be more serious about writing out what's going on in my life instead of compartmentalizing it in my brain until I run out of room up there. I however got nothing productive done. I finished a book and then started a new one and watch NCIS.

Battle Log September 11, 2016 Like for real, I am the queen of productive procrastination. I cleaned my room, caught a huge ass spider, put laundry in the washer AND the dryer, and even organized my school stuff. I however did not fold my laundry or most importantly finish my post clinical paperwork which is due tomorrow at noon. Even now, I'm procrastinating doing that work... However, I did realize that if I have the energy to be typing this, I have the energy to at least fill out my anecdotal record. Which I find I need to take breaks from periodically at this point. So I come here to write a little more of this log after filling out a section. So I'll just have some extraneous information to fill out in the morning, and I won't need to do the last minute panic thing... During my time sitting here at the kitchen table, I've also decided that it might be time to find a counselor again or just utilize my college's. For a number of years now, I've been battling this ever present emotional numbness. I sometimes get reprieves from it. But now is not that time and it's seriously interfering with my life. So I mean, step one is identifying a problem, right? Late night self-reflections are fun... Um um um. I feel like this needs to end on a positive note soooo I get to see my niece tomorrow! I miss her lots, I can't wait to see her. I'm more excited to see her than the rest of my family. lol Strength: 8x / 12x Dexterity: 0x / 4x, 0x / 2x Stamina: ~61.43mi / 140mi Constitution: 156hr 14min / 220hr Wisdom: 33hr 30min/ 80hr Charisma: 41x / 20x, 22x / 28x

Battle Log September 10, 2016 It's kinda been a long day. And I'm forcing myself to get this written because I'm trying to be habit forming and all but my bed is just calling to me, so I guess we'll make this quick. I had plans to go to a Peach Festival today with one of my friends who is obsessed with peaches. But mother nature decided to give us a torential down pour and thunder storm today, so we went out to dinner instead. It was fun. lol I must work on my writing abilities.

@Bookish Badger haha I will cast everything I have on you. Hopefully I can make your need need for Advil go away. Although, a weekend of Stranger Things doesn't sound that bad.

Oh god! Did you survive? I'm a healer so I can heal you or res you if that's the case. Maybe dispel the curse of carbs? Use mind control on you so you're safe? Maybe even smite the sharks that attacked you in the first place? (I've been playing too much WoW today... lol)

This is a fact. I am part of that large percent. Although, not when it comes to filling out those tax forms. I mean, the form kind of even tells you what to do on it. I hope the rest of your night goes better though, Flea!

Battle Log September 9, 2016 I'd say today was a pretty decent day. Had an awesome workout. I'm going to be sore tomorrow. It was decently challenging. lol And I played some WoW with a really awesome guy. hehe. But, now I'm super ready for some sleep. Oh and instead of editing my last post. I read all of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child yesterday. First time in a while I've read a whole book in one day lol.

Battle Log September 8, 2016 So today I saw and then heard a spider walking across the floor. I also discovered that my school sells these. Yesterday I was almost tired enough to buy one buuut adding more caffeine to my diet probably isn't the best plan. lol Strength: 7x / 12x Dexterity: 0x / 4x, 0x / 2x Stamina: 53.70mi / 140mi Constitution: 132hr 24min / 220hr Wisdom: 31hr / 80hr Charisma: 35x / 20x, 19x / 28x

Without context, this sentence has me immediately scrolling up to see what this was going on in the Loft. lol
