Ah so glad for Sofie, but sad for you. Seems you got her trusting men (or you). Good luck with the relative coming in.

Are you going to keep doing it that way, or maybe do something regular but less frequent? (weekly?). Great news about resolution of the disciplinary action at school. Relief to move past it! Thanks. Based on past attempts at acting like an adult, I'll have to keep my checking account balanced every day. I don't use credit cards often, I think I'll be fine if I update them when I use them or when I get a statement. 16 hours ago, Big_Show said: Not sure how balancing a checkbook works, but if it takes similar effort to tracking everything in YNAB then I empathise with you. I actually haven't written a check in a year or two; I use a simple ledger on my tablet. All I really have to do is enter transactions. It should be simple for any adult. I wouldn't want to construct a budget; I'm not ready to confront how much money I spend on stupid stuff. 14 hours ago, elizevdmerwe said: I've experienced funny things that scared the living daylights out of me so I'm not going to say yah or nay There are things that science sometimes (or yet) can't explain.

Sloth the Enduring Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 2/27/17 Monday I'm not used to actual work any more. My entire posterior chain was sore and achey, especially the glutes and lower back. I took it easy all day. Not much else to note. Training: half-assed yoga flow. Eating: no. After half a year I couldn't face another lunch of meat, sweet potato, and veg. I had a 12" subway. Spending: accts balanced, bought a sub. 7 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

The principal came up to me and said, "You know I think very highly of you, but I'm going to have to write a letter for your file and I'll give to you on Monday." That was what I was originally expecting, but I got worried when I wasn't hearing anything. Like I said, I worry and whine too much. It's a known fault. This is a big stress relief.

BTW I've got my money on you for the NF HammerRace Championship, especially after Saturday's showing. 2/28/17 Tuesday Still sore and achey. Apparently I need to train just to be able to do home projects. I took it easy again. Friday is my anal probe so I'm on a no fiber diet. It is really hard to figure out what I can eat now. The subway bread didn't trigger anything, I'll have to reexperiment with it. Training: No, just half ass Yoga flow. Eating: No, breakfast was not compliant. I don't remember why. Peanut butter sandwich maybe? Tomorrow won't be either. Thursday and Friday I pretty much don't eat except for broth, Gatorade, and Jello. It looks like I'll be back under 170 soon. Spending: Accts balanced. Bought batteries for class project (actually bought Monday), ordered Mrs. Sloth's special snowflake laundry soap. 6 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

There's some variety, but not much. The stomach is good. All I had to do was stop eating everything I enjoy. .

Sloth the Enduring Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 An accountability note: last year working in kindergarten cleared my head. I felt useful and I enjoyed it. After I get the materials for this unit stored away and the the next one started I will start doing that again. Please hassle me if I don't. Here's another thing y'all should hassle me about; FB told me I have 30-some days until Hammer Race. I should start hammering and jogging soon. BTW My no fiber breakfast was a Pop-Tart. It was good, but not great. I should have had a doughnut. 8 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

That's a great idea, that'll keep me accountable for sure. I'm having an anal probe on Friday. I don't know what the recovery is like, but I don't think I'll be running this weekend. Next Sunday should be clear. Just so you know, I'm not anywhere near actual running shape. More of a shuffle, shuffle, stop, gasp, shuffle, shuffle right now.

I'm on a clear liquid diet today and also under orders to drink at least 64 oz of water. I felt lightheaded and dizzy most of the day. I don't know if that's psychosomatic, low blood sugar (I normally run on 3k+ cals), or my body not being used to full hydration - teachers don't have easy access to the bathroom, so I usually keep myself just over the edge of dehydration, but I feel kind of drunk. This is yet another reminder that I'm far too frail of a special snowflake to survive the zombie apocalypse. Training: no, I was going to do Yoga after work, but I'm running back no forth to the bathroom instead. Eating: No, by design; I've had a lot of sugar water. Spending: Yes, accts balanced, no new spending. 7 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

LouCarJo Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I'm glad your school issue is resolved. Having been through an incident where someone managed to make my life difficult and then create a whole (unfounded, completely spurious) rumour mill around it, I now know disciplinary things at work can be very little to do with you (but still horrible to get caught up in). Also, I'm going to be doing a similar finance thing next challenge. I'm pretty good at saving and it's what's allowed me to change jobs recently and downgrade hugely. But now I've done that I need to up my financial game. So jealous at the cash back deal you have - over here with the same card I used to get 1% but with regulation changes (and I guess possibly with other stuff going on) it got cut to 0.5% and now 0%. So I've closed it and am on the hunt for any other deals to get free money! 1 Quote Link to comment

Sloth the Enduring Posted March 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 3/3/17 Friday The preparation for a colonoscopy is medically-induced dysentery. I spent my morning dealing with that. Years of slothbelly did not prepare me. The actual anal probe wasn't terrible because they sedated me. I was also consoled by the thought that I had the best ass they saw all day. I picked up ten street tacos on the way home, but I was still hungry so I had a big bowl of rice. I was up all night, so I'm just going to chill and do a load of laundry so the kids have clothes for their classes tomorrow. Training: DDP Energy (I'll do it while I wait for laundry). Eating: Back on point. Spending: Payday. I balanced accts, including auto payments that will come out before the next payday. Paid toward both credit cards. Bought tacos. 11 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment
