Honestly I'm hoping for the 20th.  I don't want to be on vacation and miss the first week of the challenge.

You guys were right. Staci made a mistake in the FAQ. Updated the top of the thread to the correct start date.

Fun factoid, guys.

Apparently if I didn't have class to go to all the time, my apartment would be ridiculously clean.

So would I.  Injuries are stupid like that, though.

I was thinking about setting up an Accountabilibuddies Group this time. But I don't really know, how this works. Has somebody experiences to share with a helpless newbie?

I have the same "problem" during Learning Weeks. Cleaning while procrastinating is a bad habit of mine. And get well soon.

 I'm exercising, because I want to get my stamina and strength. I enjoy medieevil swordmanship,  Tai Chi, yoga, aikido and fire spinning. I'm also a roleplaying nerd and a book worm. Let's fight the procrastination dragon!

My house is SO CLEAN right now.  SO CLEAN.  Decluttered the art room and the basement, too.  And the garage.  And did all the laundry.  And cleaned out the kitchen.  

 

... no, my term project isn't done yet, why do you ask?

The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

There was aggression on both sides.

Wait, did you sell your kids?

 

I feel like small humans preclude the ability to have that many rooms simultaneously clean. :P

My whole family was gone for Easter, at the in-laws farm. Four days to myself.

So you did sell your kids.  To GRANDPARENTS.

 

Wise.

Huh. There used to be a forum for that.

 

I guess the closest thing to that would be to go the PvP section and go looking for challengers.

 

Of course, we also have our own thread here for people looking to 'face off' with each other and get a little extra accountability. So, you know, there's that.
