Thanks, Ever!! Definitely. I used to do a lot of mixed media and junk journalling and have gotten away from it. I am wondering if moving back in that direction is going to be a good fit for me so experiments commence. ❤️ Hi Friends! Don’t have much time this morning, but two amazing things happened already today and I had to share them with you! Amazing thing 1: I DID MY FIRST FULL BODY PLANK TODAY! I held it for 20 seconds and it inspired me to try to hold other ones that were shorter because I was tired. But I DID IT WHEN I HAD NEVER DONE IT BEFORE and I am SO DAMN PROUD OF MYSELF. Ahem. Okay, I’ll stop shouting now. 😅 Amazing thing 2: DAVE PASSED HIS FORCE TEST! Apparently I wasn’t done with the shouting, sorry. He succeeded, which means whatever comes next with the Latvia posting is up to the Army as he has done all of what he can do to meet their requirements in advance of a posting screening taking place. I am so relieved. Apparently I was more preoccupied with it than I realized because I had an anxiety dream about it right before waking up this morning. But it’s all good now, so we just wait and see where this takes us from here. Okay, need to go shower and get presentable for work. May you see an interesting shape in the clouds today. Thanks for being here. ❤️

Oh my goodness, Friend. I hope it clears up. 💚

Good to have you, Laghail! I picked an interesting reverse colouring book to put on my wish list for the Secret Santa exchange: https://www.amazon.ca/Reverse-Coloring-Book®-Colors-Lines/dp/1523515279/ref=sr_1_5?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dbGEM0hld4EqDAbdW6UtpjN8G1_TwNyn_S-OppVm8lOFklgbHsqJ6vpsBEeoDyMnmmqdU5iUE291CQp1gR26jxttRuRAbK77cwORzu-SAhlBO8-51MzCxJxylORU3TMi4petqNCJzHwm_yztDA51HxEPSSlk8Msh1TSowlOXft9xUn9pqGk7IeuhGNhv4AooRGxlWD0Q1-Q-ZrfBYx4tUOk0PzJ1jxLHa0s_Q-wKK70kh_9A6dx9i1OzHfIxSMQ9JvPXqYJ-pbZSnEBOH90xhoomsDg2hXCeRyAySeabtFw.YaBiCyUfO6GBM03YpnE-taan59EqOw42EuETEnMmeLk&dib_tag=se&hvadid=588814737580&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9001283&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=2851638275755120437&hvtargid=kwd-1142243725602&hydadcr=297_1014995593&keywords=reverse+colouring+book&qid=1733281424&sr=8-5 It seems pretty neat! Three days! I’d better hurry! 😅 I have never owned a deep fryer because I would eat little else and I don’t like how fussy they are to store and clean and such. I am trying to make sure the air fryer isn’t just used for junk food. ❤️ Thank you, Heidi. Debt payoff first and then I will just draw you whatever you want as a celebration gift! ❤️ Hi Friends! It has felt like a really long day today. I was up again at 5:45 but I didn’t get out of bed until ~6:20. I did some writing about the game that happened last night because holy beans PLOT TWIST. Then I got ready for the gym and went and did that. It was good. Another circuit which isn’t a surprise, but I didn’t feel much on the first lap. Second and third laps were a little better. Then I did ~6 minutes on the treadmill and called it a day. My default walking pace on the treadmill is currently 3.6. When I first started treadmill walking I was a 3.2. So the progress is nice. After gym I went and gassed up the car, then bought myself some fruit and dairy products, then came home and ate said foods. Showered and got put together for work, then went to work. Work was a bit weird but it passed quickly enough. After work we went for wings with Dave’s coworkers. Now we are home and I am caught up here. I need to do Bujos and Tarot for today, which I will do next. If I can manage it. I am pretty tired. I will go back to the gym tomorrow for 8 am; my usual gym partner needs to trade days this week so I am trading with her so that I have a ride and Dave can take the car to work. It’s upper body tomorrow so hopefully that is a bit more fun for me. Dave is going to attempt his Force test tomorrow morning. Please cross all fingers! Off to get my writing done. Hope you are all cozy and warm. Thanks for being here. ❤️ Edited to add this challenge's Chart:

Following to see you flourish! ❤️

Here to cheer! 💚

Just take good care of you. We will be there when you're ready to come back.

Lovely! Here to cheer! ❤️

Here comes Harriet with the truth again…

Oh what a fabulous time! Thanks for sharing your descriptions and photos, Ann!

Everything you cook sounds amazing. If I move to Latvia next year, I will arrive on your doorstep and demand dinner.

Yes, the postal workers are on strike in Canada. It’s important and I support them, but it’s really throwing a wrench in my ability to send and receive happy mail! I am sorry that you had such a lousy day, Sal. I am so proud of you for staying sober in the face of difficult days. You are amazing and so strong. ❤️ And Harriet is hilarious. All know this.

Hi Sunshine! I am so glad to see you! ❤️ I also seem to be growing out my hair, at least the “long” side of it. It’s just about to my chin now and Dave is really loving it. I had really long hair when he and I met (it was down to my waist) and he misses it although he is adamant that it’s my body to do with what I please as far as presentation. It’s nice to get compliments from him though. Lol I hope your shampoo bars and bonnets help with the growth and texture. The bonnets seem like a great way to decrease breakage. Which bars did you get? I hope this job comes through for the Man. How did his exams go?

Excited for you to get some lovely snow and a smooth end to term!!

Absolutely. Here for this!! ❤️
