Ash Raine Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hi! I'm starting out my Epic Quest of Awesome after 3.5 years of next-to-no sleep, and very little non-kid related activity. My 2 Demon Spawn (DS) are awesome and fantastic weight training, but I finally have enough brain power to start remembering or discovering who *I* am. Keeping things very slow and incremental. My leftover mental energy after work and kids is limited so I'm taking the mantra "if it feels too hard it probably is, if it seems too easy that's about right" to heart. Thanks, Steve! The right words at the right time. I originally thought I'd be a scout, but I'm courting the assassins instead after remembering how much fun I used to have as a gymnast about a million years ago. Here's hoping there is some lingering muscle memory. Onward to glory 1 Quote Level 7 Assassin Link to comment
Taoin Sisu Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I totally get where you're at right now. I have a 4 year old toddler and have been juggling his needs and work. Sleep deprivation is killer, and when you surface from the whole intense kid wrangling and go "hang on, where did I go?" that can be a difficult time. Baby steps sound about right (that's how I'm doing it), good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment
Ash Raine Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Thanks, Taoin! Appreciate it. Always nice to know that there are others somewhere in the dark night saying "Why won't you just go hte f$ck to sleep?" Good luck! 2 Quote Level 7 Assassin Link to comment

I'm a Guild Leader for the Rebels, AKA home of those of us for whom "fitness" really means "figuring my life out in general, but often not so much physically" but I too feel the draw of Assassin. They sure are sneaky! Feel free to join in with whichever guild you like best or to guild hop if that seems right to you. Go where you can do the most good for yourself. And good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment
