shaar Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hihi y’all, WOO NEW CHALLENGE TIME~ I was gonna write a little bit of narrative for this originally but the nerw boards go up faster than a duck on a junebug lately so, time, not on my side. OH WELL. Perhaps later? Anywho, welcome back to the Furyheart Chronicles!~ <3 What is a furyheart? It’s everything I aspire to be - full of confidence and optimism and unstoppable fire, ready for adventures and whatever the world decides to throw at me. Knowing I can take on whatever obstacles come my way and come out the other side, while not necessarily unscathed (very often very scathed let’s be real), victorious. It’s my inner strength and indomitable spirit, it’s never saying die, and after a long period of change and struggle, it’s finally coming back to me. YESSSSS~ ~ MY GOALS! While they’re nothing as epic as ‘climb a mountain and punch a sasquatch in the face’, they’re slowly becoming more ambitious than ‘don’t succumb to the siren song of the void’ from a few months ago. I’ve got big plans and I’m setting the groundwork. So HERE WE GO! :3 1. PHYSICAL FITNESS THE GYM, guys, I love the gym, I’ve been gone for TOO LONG and it’s so good to get back. It feels like home. I’ve been consistent for 3 weeks now and my goal continues with lifting 3x a week; one day for legs, one for chest and back, and one for shoulders and arms. 2. FINANCIAL FITNESS My financial situation is very different now - but in a good way! I’m not used to having a fair amount of money and I’ve been a little frivolous with it - this coming from a VERY frugal person so I’m sure my ‘going out to lunch’ frivolity is minor - but I want to get a good handle on what I’ve got coming in vs going out so I can save and plan for the future. I’ve researched budgeting apps and am going to be using EveryDollar (thanks shadri!!) for the span of this challenge and track EVERYTHING! <3 3. MORE PHYSICAL FITNESS KINDA Limit alcohol ONLY to the weekends. I need to be stricter with myself on this!! IT’S BETTER FOR ME!!! 4. SOMETHING ELSE MAYBE I may add something else here IDK yet OKCOOL that’s all I got for now ZOOOOOOM LET’S GO NERDS~ <3 11 Quote i am not waiting for a hero. i saved myself long ago.

So let you in on a secret, just start your new challenge week 4 (say a wednesday or sumtin) THIS challenge! Junebugs are what it says on the tin. They're small brown beetles that appear around June in the southern US, primarily active at night where you can hear very-loud-for-their-size humming-like buzzes everywhere. Later in the season you will hear a lot of crunching noises, because they all kinda die off en masse and you're stepping on them. 1 Quote Level 13 Shape-shifting Warrior Monk STR:45 | DEX:18 | STA:10 | CON:37 | WIS:37 | CHA:27 The stronger the body the more it obeys, the weaker the body the more it commands. -- Siegmund Klein Battle Log : MFP : Instagram : Challenges - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Link to comment

My gosh, no more waterbugs? Cockroaches? Black Widows?? (We had some living on our porch at one point) Those long fuckin creepy crawlies that weren't really centipedes but IDEK? GONE I guess we pay for it with multiple feet of snow and sub zero temps but w/e..... Z E R O W E E K PHEW hi guys this week has been a WHIRLWIND!! Work has been busy but good, I'm feeling really integrated with everything and am able to handle it pretty darn well~ We're working on ironing the bugs out of a new-ish software and it's kind of been throwing wrenches in our days but it's good to be helpful. :3 I had my first deep tissue massage in over a year yesterday and GOSH I am so glad I'm able to take care of myself again and make this an every other month thing. I feel much better today and am going back at the end of next month!! *^____________^* I haven't been to the gym yet this week because I wanted to rest the night before my shoulder appointment, so I'm going to try to get in 3 days this week, but it might be 2 due to scheduling and stuff, but it's ZERO WEEK so that's ok. IT'S GETTING WARM HERE GUYS IT'S GONNA BE ALMOST 60 ON FRIDAY AND I'M GONNA TRY TO GET OUT THIS WEEKEND for the Cheetah Challenge of HIKING WITH PICTURES Cheetah Challenge is HAPPENING ALSO THE DOUG CAPS LOCK CHALLENGE I like the idea of proposing challenges to other people, it keeps it fresh instead of my boring old brain going "hey don't forget your vitamins dingdong" Let's see, what else..... I set up my budget but I need to like.... add shit to it. Like the pizza I just bought for lunch. I'm thinking I'll do that weekly to not overwhelm myself. OH did I tell y'all I'm brining a corned beef?!!?1/!? CAUSE I AM. It's been in a stockpot in the fridge since Sunday and it smells amazing, I'll cook it on Sunday not only for St. Pats but it is Finnegan's 12th birthday~ :3 My big ol' honkin' catte is gonna have a party and some wet food oh boy what a lucky banana.

A weird thing that comes in an odd shaped tin? Reminds me vaguely of the 80s? I looked it up. It is tinned in the UK. Here in the US we tend to make it ourselves. The term "Corned" comes from the salt corns used to cure the brisket. We (my family) always get ours pre treated and cook it in the slow cooker. It sounds like Shaar cured it herself. 1 hour ago, Rinna said: Hate to tell ya, but waterbugs (or palmetto bugs) are just big ass cockroaches. I grew up in Texas, and yes, they’re bigger in Texas.
