annyshay Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hello Assassins, I'm back!!! Well, actually... I'm in Uganda... But I think I've emerged from my recent rage stress spiral. Also, my internet access is surprisingly good (except apparently, I'm unable to post gifs.... Grrrrrr)? So, it's time to resume my badassery... And who better to learn from than the Dragon of the West? Uncle Iroh and his wisdom will be my guide! Main Quest - Resilient and Radiant "No! Zuko! You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength." I'll talk more about this during the challenge, but my mental strength and spiritual health are my focus. My healthy choices will continue to rebuild me into the awesome badass woman that I am meant to be. "You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you keep moving, you will come to a better place." Moving - enjoy some type of movement every day for at least two minutes "A man needs his rest." Rest - electronics off for 60 minutes before bed "Sick of tea? That's like being sick of breathing." Tea and Breathing - tea is an opportunity to mindfully enjoy one of my favorite things 11 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment

annyshay Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Day 1 Moving - walked to, around, and from the local mall Rest - electronics off 1 hour before sleep - read some on Uganda's political history and then meditated Tea and Breathing - much tea and breathing yesterday, finished the "self esteem" pack in headspace and did a bonus 20 minute meditation before bed Managed to cook chicken in an oven with no temperature controls yesterday to serve with all the veggies I have hunter gathered. Quite proud of international meal prep skillz. Today it's back to "work" at Mulago. One goal is to find the next place I will stay. I'm only able to use this room until next weekend, so today I'm visiting a new prospect for my last two weeks in the morning. I really also need to go find the mysterious Susan who can get me fully plugged in around here. I hear she's not the warmest and fuzziest though, so I'm a bit scared! 5 Quote Love as thou wilt.

Lightning Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Please, you can track down this mystery Susan AND quell the beast within her with nothing but your winning personality. Happy (that means jealous) that you will get to go to camp. Would so love to meet all the nerds face-to-face. Plus, it always sounds like a lot of fun. Camp will be even better with you there! 4 Quote Level 23 Assassin Current Challenge "Nothing is true; everything is permitted" Link to comment

I have not watched the abomination. There are memes of ATLA fans rioting because of it. So bad. Watch the TV show. It's on Amazon prime, and it will blow your mind. 2 Quote Love as thou wilt.
