Sour Router

I posted a router on Craigslist three weeks ago and I finally got my first call today. I'm surprised so many people don't care about getting charged every month for something they could just buy once. Not everything has to be a service. I DO like Spotify though.

Weight loss. I'm losing weight lately - initially from stress and not having a car - but now I know how good it feels to fit into some old clothes I've been keeping around for the day I get "skinny" again. That is motivating. I was creeping dangerously close to 170 lbs, now I'm 140 and trying to get under 135, since that's when I'm not considered overweight for my 5'2" height. I've only been as low as 129 as an adult. My muscles always keep me a bit heavy, I'm a beefy breed and I don't mind at all. Like a bulldog person, but way sexier. It's nice to be able to hike in Colorado and I've been working out at the gym in my work building and taking advantage of the sauna. What a great place to meditate and dehydrate. It's the me-time I've been desperately seeking and didn't really believe I needed for way too long.

Today is the day my husband's mother passed away 27 years ago. Every time this date comes around again I realize how powerful mothers are.

Killing Rampage

Welp, I done killed all the people. I'm the only one left on earth. That was really easy, now I don't have to deal with anyone and I get to walk around eating the food in grocery stores in the nude. Somehow electricity still works and the Internet is up. I guess everything is super automated and no one actually has to work at all. Too bad they're all dead and don't get to live the good life with me. AHHH, now to sip on some hella expensive tequila or whatever in my yacht that I don't know how to take out of the port. I'll just keep crashing yachts until I teach myself how to get out in the open water. The weather sure is a lot calmer now that the government isn't controlling it. Wow, look at all the thriving wildlife! Balance is restored. It is a little stinky though.

Whistling Pines

I'm in this podcast!



I'm gunna be in another episode later this month too! What a fun gang to make the jokes with!

Yesterday I was SO sick - but then I just kept sleeping and sleeping until I got over it. I hate being sick because I can't do stuff. While forcing myself to do dishes I cried a lot. A good sob is in order once in a while. Dang, there's just been too much going on. I got a new car, 2012 Dodge Caliber. Perhaps I won't be afraid to drive places outside of a 10 mile radius. I've lost 10 pounds in the last few weeks. Started walking more since there was a week I didn't have a car at all and I walked Naomi to and from school. I also walked home from Wal*Mart one day and it was rad. Walking is actually rad. My bod is thanking me. Otherwise I hailed an Uber for appointments. The doctors say I'm looking healthy! My blood pressure was a bit high when I was preggo with Roland, but it's fine now. I don't go to the doctor much. I have been seeing a therapist for a few months but I have no idea if it's actually helping. It seems like every time I go, I feel good and then some serious SH*T immediately happens and I no longer have the opportunity to take care of my mental health for another month because I'm too busy dealing with other people's erratic behavior and feelings and illness. SO, I've just really been trying to find an occasional escape because I'm 'bout to kill all y'all. ALL Y'ALL.
