As someone who is also visited by Bad Feelings, I'm sorry you're going through this! I would only suggest to try to think about if it was your mom having these symptoms - I reckon you would probably tell her to see the doctor, even if it turned out to be nothing. If it is nothing, that's great and peace of mind is restored, but if it's something then you can get it fixed, and peace of mind is restored. Either way, it's good to get it checked out.

That's ok, the day is young (depending on where you live haha), and tomorrow is a fresh cycling start!

That's ok, I think that's why they call it a practice. also, ditto on the shapeshifting...

Thanks Wolf! I walked for 30 minutes, and listened to Tunnel in the Sky by Heinlein, thus combining exercising and reading, resulting in a win-win!

Off topic book chatter: I love reading so much! I've just started the Sword of Truth series, by Terry Goodkind. I know, from hearing parts of the audiobook while being driven around by my brother several years ago, that it's gonna depress me and make me mad, but that it's also a great story. I think the last fantasy series I was reading was the Way of Shadows by....I forgot who, Brent Weeks? and I think I'm on the last one, but now it's been so long, I'd have to reread them to know what was going on. That's the only downside with series books, especially fantasy beause it seems fantasy authors are way meaner to their characters; if you read them all in a row, burnout may occur, but if you take a break, you have to reread to know what the heck is going on! I'm also deciding if I'm gonna go for a walk this morning, or just read or play skyrim...I feel like Sloth (and Obsession, a creature that is capricious to say the least...) are tempting me...guess I better put my shoes on and go for that walk.

Emergency Roster?? That sounds like a really long/short night, I hope you made it through your day okay! Every little bit you throw in counts, way to stay in the fight!

I am terribly sad. My brother and his wonderful wife had dinner with me and my parents for the last time for a while, as they move to the Midwest tomorrow morning. So, I'm here crying, because everything is changing. It's not bad change, it's just...nothing will ever be like it used to be, and I think I'm grieving for that a little bit. It's a lot easier when I'm the one doing the leaving. I left for a year and a half for school, and I left for 3 months to be with my boyfriend, and I'm probably gonna leave again, so it's not fair of me to want him to stay. I guess I just kind of assumed they would always be here when I came home. I didn't realize it would hurt so much to know they weren't 45 minutes away anymore. I used to like change, but I'm liking it less and less.

Hehe I suspected as much!! The book is honestly so much better than the film. They just made stuff up in the movie, and left out a lot of great parts. There is so much magic in reading that book, especially as a kid, I would urge you to read The Hobbit with your kiddos!

I ran 2 miles today doing week 2 run 1 of the couch to 5k program! I decided to start on week 2 because I've been kinda sorta running for a couple months, and week 1 seemed too easy. The C25K program is great for me when I stick to it (and im going to stick to it this time!) because her cheerful voice lets me know when I can stop, and forces me to get going again when it's time. It's great for overcoming my total lack of mental discipline when it comes to exercise, and I like stuff I can track.

I think I'm going to refer to that as "The Hobbit Hustle" from here on out.

We're still on zero week awaiting our first instructions for next week! I'm no expert, but I reckon just a daily log is fine? As far as I can tell, it's just about helping keep each other accountable and encouraged to stay on track with the challenge. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Elizev, what a fun idea! I was home schooled and I remember reading The Hobbit with my mom and brother and being absolutely fascinated, I would have loved to do that! (Note to self for future children) Bker....I never knew mordor was so far! If anything shouts "consistency" it's walking all the way to Mordor!

That is brilliant Rurik!! There is a place in Valhalla for heroes such as you!

Thanks guys!

Hey guys! I have a daily battle log, and now I also have a challenge log here in the Rangers...is that redundant? Or am I supposed to log different things in each? I'm just a bit confused as to the purpose of two logs...

Oh that's good to know, I didn't realize that! No "2 birds with 1 stone" schemes, then!

Haha I'll put the order in

Followng, mini-mate!! And, uh, I wanna walk to Mordor toooo!!!

Ditto! We will crush the Horde! Hehe thanks, my instant gratification monkey likes coloring in the chart every day! I like that too!

I'm looking forward to following! I like the way you set up your challenges as boss battles, especially the draw vs win requirements. Also, I'm the Gnome on your mini-quest team, so hi teammate!

I'm in love with your concept! How super fun!! Looking forward to following! Also, I'm the Gnome of your team for the mini-challenge, yay for teammates!!

I haven't figured out my race in NF, so I can't match to a character that way...but I'm drawn to the gnome because she seems fiesty!

Ahh I love skyrim so much...I may have to somehow incorporate the Thieves Guild into my next challenge! I love how you have three categories for your goals. I'll be following!

I love the writing goal! Good luck!!

I found out this evening that I passed my licensing exam to be a PTA! I haven't stopped grinning yet. Also, the bike shop down the road from my job has Wednesday night no-drop group cycles, and the super nice owner invited me to join them when I pick up my (newly tuned up) bike next Wednesday! I feel so happy.
