    Hugs to you @MissKalhan <3 . You are good enough- having enough love for your friend to miss him right now is enough. Be kind to yourself.

    @quiksylver296 I am so excited for you!

    Confession: I am really over how "okay" people think it is to rail on sports they don't personally enjoy. I hate lifting, but lifters are amazing athletes who I have a ton of respect for. Wish that respect was more of a two way street

    AxxxxxMEN! I ran two half marathons so I can understand the love for both sports and others (I would love to do pole if I wasn't so damn uncoordinated....). DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS PEOPLE /endrant

    I hate my first post in days is a comment on swearing...

    That guy was a kittening kitten. I agree with you. I respect the hard work, no matter whether it's something I enjoy or don't.

    Ditto!

    One year ago yesterday technically I lost a dear friend and fellow wrestler (who I coached) to an overdose on recreational psychedelics, I made a promise in that moment that I would do enough living for the both of us (he was 23 when he passed). I've been a bit of a wreck emotionally and mentally lately, just a bunch of self hate and depression rearing its ugly head. All of this is highlighted by the fact that lately I'm not doing enough, I'm not good enough and well I'm lost.

    So I guess there's a real darn confession for yall.

    Photo was taken the day after I got the news of his death, sunset which was very fitting.

    I'm so sorry Victoria.

    I always thought there was something slightly seductive about eating cherries on the stalk. Just me then?!

    Anne-Marie I will never look at cherries the same way again!!! :p

    I made it 3 days on my no treats challenge and then quit. I love my treats too much :disappointed: #fail

    I made it like 3 months last year without drinking. Now the most I've made it is like 10 days. We all have our weaknesses. Like Quik said, maybe just figure out how to work it into your daily routine in moderation.

    I shall join the rubbish sleep club. Bathroom is out of action so I have to trapse through the house (it's not big but it's a weird zigzag layout) to the downstairs loo. Then husband wakes me before 6am to tell me the election results. Says it will affect the next 5 years of our lives. True perhaps, but it wouldn't have affected them any more or less had I discovered them at 7ish and now I am grumpy. That will affect husband's life for the next day!

    I was reading about that last night. I guess we are all going to be in a weird political situation for the next few years. Except our Canadian friends. They seem ok...

    Yah, even our Conservative's are pretty tame compared to Trump to be honest....
    Politically speaking, the pendulum swings one way or the other every few decades or so. The swing to the right was a long time coming, although this far right is TERRIFYING.

    Amen. I can say it woke me up to politics. Now I'm obsessed. Myiah would be proud of me.

    Assassin Kitty struck again.

    This is a tally right? He isn't getting more kills in each night?

    Maybe you aren't giving him enough attention? He must kill more to buy your affection.

    I think he's thanking me for feeding him. He high fives me now and has even gnawed on my fingers but won't let me pet him yet.

    That's pretty amazing though!

    It is. Sometimes when he is anxious to eat he just keeps tapping at my arm as I'm putting the wet food in the bowl. I think he's just trying to hurry the obligatory high 5 along.

    I'm telling you, that kitty loves you and is on a kill streak.

    Yep. I just hate he is bringing me animals. How about flowers?

    I have had the worst cold the last few days and been swamped. The open work environment has really put a cramp in my posting in here. I have to find more time to do it I miss you guys!

    You're my cold twin! I'm currently suffering right now as well. I'm hoping I'll be sent home early at some point today. I've already affectionately been called snotface so it's looking good!

    Mine has settled into my chest now and I have a hacking cough. And yes, lots of blowing of the nose, sniffling!

    Stop dropping hints, Porch Kitty. POF is not going to feed you raw meat. :)

    EDIT: I'm sorry. I missed that we have changed his name to Assassin Kitty. Hereafter, I shall call him AK for short.

    Ugh, I'm a fatty. I have 208 calories left for the day at 2:50 pm. LMAO Looks like I'll be getting some steps in during my son's baseball game tonight.

    On the plus side, I've discovered that The Taste of Texas BBQ Payday bar is quite delicious.

    That does not sound delicious :s

    Fact: there is no graceful way to eat cherries. I'm sitting at my desk spitting the pits into a paper cup. #classy

    This. Every time they're in season, I look like a ball player with dip except my teeth turn red like I belong on True Blood.

    Perhaps these are the reasons why I only eat cherries in pie.

    Oh man, tart cherry pie is SO good!

    Way to go Quik! You have worked your *kitten* off to get to that point. Any new lifting meets in the work?

    Ouch on the ripped callous!

    August 5th. Northwest regionals. And my coach is already looking at Nationals in October in Orlando... :#
