Diadhuit

Thanks! I'll stick to toasting the bread from frozen though. Might freeze the content and assemble on the spot. But to be fair I found PCOS friendly home-made waffles and I want to try to make those instead. I could freeze them and toast them in the morning.

Hate those Ethical classes. Is 'I'm too young to give a shit if old peple can use the internet and too rich to care if Zuckenberg is giving laptop for free to poor children so he can exploit them of their data' enough of an answer on digital divide? Not that I think you are like that Bean, but sometimes these teachers just want someone who brings an outrageous point of view.

that is already in the plan... Painted one room already, floor is in (beside my future bedroom). So I can move in an postpone the rest [emoji5]

How do you count protein intake?

You don't sound silly, different people have different reactions. Their feelings are justified as yours. You probably see this as you are similar to him, while they feel betrayed (and this may be a leap) because taking care of himself sometimes means taking care of others. The fact you aknowledge the need for taking care of yourself is really showing you are coming a long way since you started. I just want to mis-quote Dr. Guy McPherson's quote 'If you really think that the enviroment is less important than the economy, try holding your breath while you count your money.' saying: 'If you really think you are less important than the people you care for, try holding your breath while you help them' Hugs bean, be gentle with yourself

Thanks!! I know how complicated is your life right now, so I appreciate it soo much!

Mon - physio exercises twice a day every day (unless dancing, max 1/week skipping) -1/1 - cook once per week - in bed at 11 every working day, 12 weekends - 0/1 - meditate / pray daily (as little as: 'Goodmorning, I love you more and more and I feel God's love' acclamation is enough) - 1/1

But, but... microwaving bread? Wouldn't it taste soggy and [emoji21]?

That is amazing!!! I was late to discover it too, and watched first at the 10th anniversary of cancellation [emoji28]

With this pictures I just now realised you are a brown coat and in your profile pic you are wearing Jayne's hat!

When it rains, it pours. Woke up this morning with the death of a colleague's dad. Then a friend sent a cryptic message of help. Thank God I have the strength for it now. I am thinking if I should sit and talk to the guy I'm dating because I saw few 'not suiting me' flags and I'm afraid of being hurt. So there is that too. Will have to edit my goal slightly because self-care: - physio exercises twice a day every day (unless dancing, max 1/week skipping) - cook once per week - in bed at 11 every working day, 12 weekends - meditate / pray daily (as little as: 'Goodmorning, I love you more and more and I feel God's love' acclamation is enough) Todo: Find a friend with a car for another bit of moving Reharse talk every working day Ballet on Thu (unless dating)

I do believe that's what happened. And maybe, for once, if you can, pamper yourself. Because you deserve that and you are so freaking worth it.

Congratulations!!! Now enjoy a rest and we'll expect you back here soon [emoji5]

I am not just proud. I am stunned! You are a smart young lady. You not only figured out another piece of the puzzle, also helped me figure out my puzzle had another piece that I was missing all along.

I am so sorry Bean, I was reading this when I received a notification that the dad of a colleague of mine also passed away. I have no words to say how sorry I am to hear the news. Yet, the fact that you are seeing you can't always come last and you need to take care of yourself is a good way to honour his memory. Take it easy this challenge, please do loads of self and family care... Hugs and shout if there is anything I can do

I will need to move out my apt by 1st October. So my planning goes until then for now. Works in the house (new ensuite) will be from Tuesday for a couple of weeks. Public speaking 20th September Move out by 1st October (includes cleaning) Friend visiting next week (yes, in the house with works being carried on!) Interviewing candidates at work Preparing for hackathon at work Busiest time of the year workwise Works still to be done (maybe not this challenge): - paint the house - put some flooring down - big cleaning - assemble furniture - buy / assemble other furniture (including sofa, curtains, ...) In other words very stressful times!!! Goals: - physio exercises twice a day every day - dancing once per week - cook once per week - meditate / pray daily

It was my choice to try to stay friends. He broke up because he was getting depressed (even if he didn't want to admit it fully). I needed to console him for breaking my heart [emoji33]. Yet I'm resilient and after some time I needed to heal I searched the friendship. This is because I valued him. After last contact two months ago I was praying for him but knew there was nothing more I could do. After this I keep at that, but lost interest in even having a friendship. Unless he goes to therapy he will only hurt me. It hurts to even admit that. Yet I can save everyone (my mantra lately [emoji29]) and especially no one that doesn't want to be helped

Oh, and my tense muscles are pulling a vertebrae, so it's turning [emoji19]

So if last week ended up in dates being cancelled, this one had my ex (10 months together, he broke up 6 months ago, tried to be friendly, last text two months ago) texting me out of the blue an 'apology'. Quotes because he apologised for ghosting me and nothing about how I am was considered (beside his assumption I was still hurt by him breaking up with me). He didn't even ask me how I was doing! I said I was not sure of why he was texting, and that he was serious about the apology he could have helped me out moving. He... didn't reply [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] [emoji317] So I called (after the day I asked for help) and he replied he was too afraid to answer, and to leave him alone. So I unleashed. I said he was being a child and when he grew balls to call me. If you wonder how old this manchild is: nearly 41! I was a bit upset, mainly because I want him happy and I wish I could do that, but he's just too cringed in his own fear and needs professional help, especially given he won't allow me to help. So since this caused stress, on top of other stress, last week of challenge went puf!

It does make a loooot of sense to me! You basically explained to me why I'm not running, thanks! I find that non-competitive sports are working better for me: dancing, hulahooping, yoga, larping,... The goal is: do a class/event every X time. The fact there is no competition or 'improvement' doesn't trigger my why/when question. No need to ever stop dancing... (but don't watch red shoes please)

I like the dress, yet I always feel that I like it in theory and wouldn't feel comfy wearing it. Not because looking pregnant (I kind of do anyway) but because gives that pristine / saint / doll look and I have a personality! You too seem a very down to earth, strong woman, do you feel like that?

[emoji7][emoji7][emoji7][emoji7][emoji7][emoji7][emoji7][emoji7] It looks very good on you. I am searching something very similar and cannot find it. It seems quite formal to me and suitable if the ask is jacket and tie and not suit. But formal means very different things in different places, so cannot help much.

Ok, that makes more sense. Since I recently had a friend who had to clean her sister house from shit literally to the walls I wouldn't be surprised by your cohabitants...

A literal shit in the sink? Waaaaw. Was the toilet blocked?

I understand now. You are giving your best to your students. Your employers are limiting what your best is, so that's on them. As a person not too far from burnout, please remember to take plenty of time to recover and rest.
