Just remember you get to be new up to a year. You dont have to master it day 2.    Yes indeedy!

Yeah boi     What is this please?

Pretty sure this is standard day 1     Pretty sure this is standard day 2++

I had postponed several DailyDare exercises because I was afraid for my left wrist. Started doing them again yesterday - including the 10 dragon push-ups that had halted me in the first place. 😅 No wrist issues! 🤘   Thanks! Stole the line from the web, but only found it on T-shirts, and wanted it to be an actual meme gif... 😇   The next day??? 🤔     Moderate is good, no?   To quote the excellent black comedy "The Last Supper": Ron Perlman FTW!   No, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. 😋 Besides, you may be overestimating the power a mayor actually has, especially in a city with just over 30K inhabitants... 😇   Just what I was going for... 😁

That's what I was doing with colored pencils, too.     That's also the issue with colored pencil.  I have heard that pan pastels (also called painting pastels) can be mixed and are more cost effective that way, but you apply them with a sponge or sponge-covered palette knife and it's definitely more like painting than drawing.  Or most like applying makeup 😆      Ooh, maybe I just need pan pastels under my colored pencils 🤔  But not sure how I feel about painting.  I have a harder time controlling the strokes that way.  

This has all the trappings of sweetness, but actually goes more toward showing how little she knows you and how much she is projecting her own wants onto you. Which doesn't make her horrible, but does mean you absolutely should not feel bad about drawing hard lines if you need to. She is not holding your feelings in the highest regard when she continues to make supposedly sweet gestures that you have tried to rebuff, so you are under no obligation to dance around her feelings in return. Being sweet is not a cheat code for getting around boundaries.

I'm back from an incredible five days of riding with some awesome women 1432.1 miles total. Everyone I know came through the storms intact, the mama's are back home safely.   So this challenge was a struggle, trips to Cancun and Louisiana meant workouts didn't happen...worth it   Sleep on the other hand, ugh. Bad thing about it is many times I'm in bed and asleep on time, or don't have to get up at a particular time the next morning, so no alarm, and I wake up and cannot go back to sleep! Sleep 7 42 16.67% Exercise 18 30 60.00% Track 41 42 97.62%     Last challenge Sleep 13 42 30.95% Exercise 34 30 113.33% Track 35 42 83.33%   D told her mom about us and reassured her that it was okay, but things would look different when they visit in the future. We're moving forward with making her move to the other room permanent so she doesn't have to keep moving back and forth when company comes. This means needing additional furniture  I spoke to her the other day about some concerns I had regarding her looking for a new job and was she potentially thinking out of state and if so please let me know. She stated her search hadn't even started yet and she would let me know well in advance if that was the case. So about my out of town visitor...I have tried every way I know to be kind and inform her I'm not interested in a romantic relationship or commitment, especially right now but likely far into the future as well. She said she understood and if I wanted to use her to get past my feelings for D she was willing...I turned her down, as I am not interested and she is not my type TBH. She bought me a dozen long stem red roses...not her fault that I never told her how much I hate roses. She's constantly checking in and the 'golden retriever' energy are really wearing on my last nerve. She's very sweet and I don't want to hurt her feelings but damn, take a hint please. These actions are not going to have your desired outcome. So this week is catching up at work, having a recheck on my mammogram which has me a bit worried, and I'm on vacation all next week and going to see my grandbabies for a few days then another ride planned   so more sporadic updates LOL.    

Thanks harriet. Hopefully the ankle will sort itself soon 😬🤞🤞

I'm glad you wore some of your nicer stuff and felt good ❤️ Best wishes for the continuing ankle repair.
