Anti Genius Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Nninm- I hope it sharpens my Ninja skils. I need to skuttle in to work on Tuesday for a meeting and then quick, like a monkey, swing on out of there before somebody stops me and wants me to answer some questions. It's a day off for me and I have plans. Not quite sure what they are but I have some! Week one I got about 13 miles of walks in, I may go on a walk later, or I may just do some squats, eat watermelon (Yay for summer fruits), and crochet a zombie sushi fish for my friend's birthday 2 Quote Archie: Awww.

XD So earlier this week I was stupid and hurt my leg playing soccer so I'm only at 12 miles this week so far - However this leads me to believe I am seriously underachieving with the bronze so I'm switching to silver...It's not a challenge if I can do over 1/3 of it in a week AND be injured....

stupendousme Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Well I've just gotten off to a horrible start.. But I can only go up from here! I was determined to get out and walk today, which I did, but it didn't go over well. My allergies got the best of me and I could only make it a little over a mile before I was forced to head inside. I'll just have to remember to take a benadryl before I go out tomorrow.. 1 Quote Hillary // Level 1 // Current Challenge Previous Challenges: One Epic Quest - Blog - Instagram Folding 1,000 Cranes Link to comment

stupendousme Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I usually take Zyrtec in the morning, but I ran out and didn't get the chance before work to buy more Also, if you have problems with itchy eyes with allergies, I am in love with Zaditor. They went over the counter this year, which was a blessing! Quote Hillary // Level 1 // Current Challenge Previous Challenges: One Epic Quest - Blog - Instagram Folding 1,000 Cranes Link to comment

I cannot sing its praises enough, and you can get an entire years' supply for like $20 if you buy in bulk. I concur that Zyrtec is terrific. Side note to wockerjabi: PM me your secrets, please! I have to take Zyrtec-D because my body thinks its fun to produce mucus in response to the Pollen Plague so that is probably more. Quote "How does one become a butterfly?

NeverThatBored Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Allergies are the worst. I've had pretty good luck with Allegra in the past, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job for me these days. So on to Zyrtec it is! I think it's supposed to be stronger.

Endor Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Well I just spent 3 days without power, been cooking on a bbq and doing lots of reading on my kindle. Massive storm here has caused devastation to trees and property but we're through the worst of it now. I was fortunate that my property was not affected at all, a friend lost his entire jetty and it's not insured. Looking at $30,000+ to restore it. I got drenched to the bone walking the dog on Monday at the beginning of the storm, we both trudged stoically through it but were very glad to get home. Managed to sneak 9 km's in over the last 3 days during very brief pauses in the rain. 1 Quote Endor, LVL 45 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Feb-March 2022 Challenge Link to comment

B_ex Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hope you're feeling better, Nnimn, and can get some ground under you feet today. The weather has been so strange here. I've been walking on lunch, but it hailed right before I normally go and it snowed earlier. I do not live at the arctic circle! I did get in a short walk yesterday between the end of it raining and it getting cold. It would figure that I just packed all of my winter clothes away. You guys keep it up! 3 Quote "How does one become a butterfly?
