Just going to try and be patient as my body gets used to the meeting training schedule. Still sore from leg day and might have overdone it on my afternoon run. Left instep is feeling a little tender. Hopefully it’s nothing and I can pick back up tomorrow. Work continues, still learning a lot. Kind of on reserve now as the rest of my team works on a big project. Things are definitely slowing down for the year so trying to keep myself occupied. Trying to spend more time pausing to enjoy things. Caught myself enjoying a beautiful crescent moon and a nice sunset at the end of my run: Nice view for the end of a nice day. 3 Quote Link to comment

Need to make that more of a priority. Finally made an appointment with a new psychiatrist. Hadn’t really been getting along with the last one and had been putting off. I realized I deserve to seek out a doctor that takes more of an interest in my well-being and with a better bedside manner. So begins the myriad of admission forms, about 10 pages so far. Really hoping this new doctor works out. 2 Quote Link to comment

Amazon Ninja Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 This is so cool! Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see how your Legend of Awesomeness (pun intended!) unfolds into the new year!👍 1 Quote “The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say 'no' — they may not be smart enough to say 'yes.” - Keith Olbermann Link to comment
