Mad Hatter Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'm so sorry for your loss. And happy belated birthday! That feels very odd to say together like that, but I guess we should see it as a reminder to celebrate life while we can. 1 Quote Link to comment

The Borg Queen Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Something strange has happened to my ankle. Definitely a stress injury, maybe having to do with going from high heels to running in zero drop shoes. I've been trying to do low-impact activity to build miles while it heals. Yesterday went for a 1.8 mile walk, today 5.5 miles on the elliptical. On track so far. Work has been super-stressy, relating to the prez being in town and paying special attention to me. Yes, yes, I know, I am fabulous. My manager is starting to be perceivably annoyed. It's a problem, because she controls things like where I sit, my bonus, and future projects, so I generally try to stay on her good side. Guess I just have to try harder. I hate office politics! Yarg!! Been watching lots of car chases in LA on Youtube. Some are fast and scary, and everyone gets hurt. Others are just funny: 2 Quote Class and Profession: Level 23 Borg Queen Link to comment
Scatterbunn Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Sorry to hear about your friend. Man I don't miss office politics, I'm so glad my current crew gets along well. Hang in there, hopefully it will get better. 1 Quote Link to comment

The Borg Queen Posted June 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Final Report Goal 1 Distance Run 25 miles per week 75/100 Not my best month of running. My excuse is that I needed about two weeks to recover after that half marathon. Will try harder next challenge. Goal 2 Strength Yoga class: 1 per week 1/4 Pushups: 3 x per week 10/12 Squats: 3 x per week 9/10 Feel great about my progress with squats. Initial max was 20, and max in the last week of the challenge was 60. Very happy with that. My progress on pushups has somewhat leveled off. Having trouble breaking 42 pushups in a day, or doing more than 10 in a set. And yoga... did not happen. Lol. Goal 3 Diet Track calories using MFP, 7 days per week 18/28 100 g protein per day... Perfect protein 20/28 You may notice that I missed a few in there. Not the best diet month. Haha. Goal 4 Meditation 10 minutes of meditation, at least 5 days per week 16/20 Slacked off a bit in the final week, but otherwise did pretty good! Flying to Japan tomorrow and feeling a bit unprepared. I will be in a big group of people from America and Belgium, so fairly insulated, but it's going to be different. Doing a bit of last minute cramming via youtube, getting the last etiquette tips. Basically going to have to smile and follow what the Japanese do. Hopefully will not make any major errors. 1 Quote Class and Profession: Level 23 Borg Queen Link to comment

They will usually have a little dish on the counter. You are supposed to put the money or card in the dish, and they will put any change or the card in the dish to return it to you. 1 Quote QengpuBenal, level 4 High Elf Ranger STR5| DEX 2| STA13| CON 6| WIS 19| CHA 6 Battle Log "I want to live in a world where normal is an insult." - Misha Collins Link to comment

QengpuBenal Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 If you have any specific questions, let me know. I can ask my sister. She lived in Misawa, Japan for several years recently.

Fuji_fox Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm positive you're going to love Japan!!! Luckily too the rainy season hasn't been that rainy this year, and the weather's pretty nice at the moment! If you have any questions about anything (especially if you happen to visit Tokyo) I'd be happy to help : ) Oh, and the money plate is totally a thing, but it's more to make it easier to count out your change when paying. You can still hand money directly to the clerk, no worries ^^ Quote Link to comment
