I suppose, but unfortunately, Americans frequently take for granted that we have so many time zones, and they send invites things with a time and then you've got to do some research to figure out what time they really mean and hope they didn't mean your time. I was struggling with this, today...

It's actually only about 10:30, yet, in New Mexico (here), but about 12:30 in New York. We have too many time zones, as far as I am concerned.

I always tell @Survivor3 and @Rani G2 to have a good day when it is evening time for you both. And I realize, but I somehow say it, regardless. I hope you both enjoy your evenings. 🐳

Thanks! I just got a new 4-pound bag of walnuts. I am all set for hiking. Have a great day!

Today is hiking day. Hooray!!! 🥳 I also need to do my lunges because somehow yesterday I did every damned exercise I know to do for my hips plus a few new core exercises, but forgot about the lunges. I will be honest, I have a selective memory when it comes to the lunges, just like I used to...

I've gone through some pretty heavy stints of having no interest in life/hobbies/breathing for long periods of time. Avoiding those stints and eventually becoming unlikely to get there took some real work for me and even took some consistency that I was unable to force myself into but I was...

Hubby and I power-walked around the high school track for about 45 minutes. We don't get to hike every other day with winter break over, but are hiking on weekends and walking the track mid-week. That's enough exercise for him for the week.

That IS exciting. Gluten-free vegan is a complex road and things that make it easier are definitely worth celebrating. 👍 🐳 🥳

I am grateful for my husband's patience and willingness/ability to keep us afloat right now. I am grateful for my education and the awareness that it will amount to something in time. I am grateful that we found a way to get our old hybrid battery replaced. I am grateful that we decided not to...

I am also an INFJ. Incidentally, so is my husband and my only sister. Being one INFJ is hard enough -- all 3, so closely knit makes life complicated, at times. My husband, especially, struggles with not knowing how he feels until he's a disaster. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with telling...

One of the things I did to be nice to myself in the cold last year was that I bought a wireless heating pad in the configuration of a velcro-closure back brace. I waited for the bus or train in downtown Portland at 5-something in the morning to get to work in Hillsboro shortly after 7:00 with...

I did a bunch of weighted and resistance band stuff, plus I used my new ab roller, today. That was exciting. I had let my shoulders get too weak and beat up for that for some time, so I am happy to have that back in the arsenal. 👍

I am reading The Tripods trilogy from John Christoper which is completely out of character for me (seeing as how the books are fiction and YA fiction at that), but I got hooked after watching some of the television series that was canceled many moons ago. I have read the prequel and all but the...

I hate vehicle issues. I also hate that I don't have a job yet/still and therefore we cannot commit to buying a car on payments and so we either have to fix what is wrong with the one we just bought or buy another cheap car and hope for a little better. Grrrr. I hate that vehicle issues...

It is possible that this has something to do with it, but I honestly think that the 14 years I lived in the middle of nowhere being picked on for not fitting in just turned me into a bitter old witch. 😂 I was a lot less apt to find fault in others before I decided to drag myself through that...

I am standing still, at least. I cannot sit for very long right now because I keep compressing my femoral nerve. I've been feeling a little hyperactive, recently, too. I am not sure what my damage is, exactly. I do pretty good about drinking enough water, in general, but like you, I have to pee...

My leg muscles are plenty sore today, so I spent 35 minutes exercising while trying not to do anything to make them even sorer: crunches, planks, 10 minutes on the bike with 0 resistance, wobble board stuff, arm exercises, etc. I want to do at least another 15 minutes of something, but not sure...

I grabbed a handful of walnuts on the way out because you mentioned this. Thank you. I probably would have become very grumpy without them. I have a hard time reading/understanding what I read, as well. I just got through a grammar module in my TEFL course, and while I did just squeak by with...

This is very probably not helpful, but I feel like I swing too far the other direction in a lot of scenarios. When I see people in physical pain, I can become nonfunctional with what probably stems from empathy and often manifests itself in over the top compassion. I can become nauseated, tear...

The last place I worked was an eCommerce site for Goodwill. Most areas have a Goodwill eCommerce site. ECommerce sites send lists of good shit to the stores that they are not supposed to sell on the floor, but send to eCommerce, instead, because those things will make better money at auction...

It's been a good week, so far: hubby is still on winter break, we finished our LEGO bookstore, yesterday, and I graduated from PT, today. 👍 How's about you? How are things with you? Thank you! Hiking is good stuff.

There's always rock-out dance. It's never boring. At least not for me. 😁 I do a lot with resistance bands, too, these days. I did an hour of PT exercises, today, and am heading out for a hike in about 45 minutes.

Well, it's that time of year. 😂 I imagine we'll all get real motivated after New Year's. I did hike 3.3 miles, yesterday, and did most of my PT exercises. I danced some today and will probably still do some shoulder exercises.

I am sorry you are going through this. I think it is common for us to learn to accept crappy manifestations of our trauma without realizing it. I have an issue with my feet being touched while I am in bed because I got strapped down after surgeries when I was a kid. It took me decades to even...
