    Hello Shape Shifters. Not much going on here. I had a few slow days because of bad headaches and I was also just feeling a bit lazy. It is nice and chilly here and Tinus has been sleeping on my lap a few times which is awesome. On Tuesday it was world postcard day so I wrote 3 postcards for postcrossing. I wasn't in the mood to write at all, but I managed to fill up the cards anyway.
    On Monday my neighbour and his carpenter friend removed the old fence and on Wednesday they placed the new one. It looks really nice and now I don't have to see my neighbour peeing in his garden anymore (told you he was weird). It ended up costing me 250 euros which I thought was a good deal since I literally did nothing. I offered to help several times, but they didn't take it. So yeah, I am happy.
    I did discover today that they broke a ceramic birdfeeder I had and I was pretty grumpy when I found it. I recall hearing something break when they were placing the fence, but didn't think anything of it. I find it incredibily rude to not mention it when you have an oopsie and destroy someone else's stuff. And yes, they knew, they moved the birdfeeder and put it back in a way so that it didn't look broken. It's not so much that I was attached to the thing, but just the whole sneaky covering it up instead of telling me is really bothering me.
    I am still enjoying my horse game a lot. I looked into switching my internet to better speeds, but my current contract still has like 15 months left. If you move before the contract is over, you have to pay all the leftover months. Obviously I am not going to do that so I am stuck with slow internet for a while. I hope I can still livestream without lagging because uploading videos at night is not very fun either.
    I recorded 72 minutes of game play last night, uploaded, checked this morning and then found out that my mic for some reason didn't work, so there is zero talking and just game play. That was a bit of a bummer. It is just a microphone you plug in the USB slot so I have no idea what went wrong. I tested it this morning and it worked fine. Anyway, lesson learned. Before I record I will always test the sound from now on.
    It is world animal day today so give your pets some extra love. Happy Friday everyone <3

    Loss: 1.1

    I'm super happy with this loss. I've been working hard. I've started going to the gym again, and am trying to track my food, although this has been less than perfect. It's very rewarding to see the scale move.

    @Zaxa2021 nice loss!

    I have a renewed sense of discipline today. Don’t know how long it will last but I’ll see if I can make some concrete plans. I’ve worked out at the gym and done my walk for today. Now I need to work on meal planning.

    I’ve been a slug since I got back from Colorado, but I’ve had improvement in my knee since I got home too. Not sure what changed but it’s a good thing because I tried to get in to see my PT after my trip and discovered that the whole clinic shut down! I’ve heard that the new owners were going to implement some changes that the team didn’t agree to so they all quit! Then the owners just decided they weren’t going to reopen it. So, not sure what I’m going to do next. 🤷‍♀️

    @Pupowl I wish I had known it was world post card day. I try to celebrate off-beat holidays, usually like world bookmark day, read a book day, or talk like a pirate day. Arrr...🏴‍☠️. This week was National Taco Day 🌮 and Vodka Day 🍸. Really have to twist my are to get me to celebrate those two. 😂

    @frankwbrown Ouch. Glad you and your bike weren't hurt worse and that you can repair it fairly easily. Those pictures from your hike are great!

    … I’m having to change my picture and name to be able to remove myself from an absolutely horrible predator and the most disgusting lewd comments posted in another community challenge I am involved in. I’ve flagged his comments but not sure what else to do. 😞

    I’m sorry to hear about your experience with a MFP predator. I wrote a longer response and decided to delete it but that’s terrible!

    Patricia.. thank you for your concern! It was too vile and disturbing to repeat to anyone in the real world.. so it’s nice to vent a little here. I just can’t believe people are out there like that! I mean, I know there are, but I have never been faced with such evilness head on before. It was truly very hurtful! Thankfully,, he’s been removed from MFP now and can no longer prey on women and innocent children in this Community. I’m still a little apprehensive about security, but Ive gone to my settings and made sure every part of my profile was set to private. I just wish that I could see that guy dead and buried somehow

    Good morning Shape Shifters. I had a nice walk yesterday morning. It was actually pretty cold. There was frost on the ground in places and I saw that people had to scrape ice of their car windows. I decided to walk in the coat I was wearing while biking to my walk. I initially planned to walk in my bodywarmer, but I realised that would have been too chilly. The walk was nice and there were lots of pretty 'sun through trees' moments. And it is mushroom time! I saw a lot of stinkhorns which aren't really my thing, but I found a couple of others as well. Just going to photodump today since I don't have much else to talk about this time! Happy Saturday everyone <3

    @DaffyGirl88 That is so funny! I am sure you can find something to celebrate almost every day if you try. I only know about world postcard day because of postcrossing. You get a little badge on your profile if you sent a card on that day.

    Thankfully my Garmin Activity Tracker replacement is on its way back to me.Using Google Fit is OK but some steps are missed if I don't have my mobile phone with me.Also I can get started with the Garmin badges & challenges when it arrives in the post.

    Under the mushroom spoiler, the last picture of the white one is a stinkhorn. As you can guess by the name, they smell really bad.

    Friday was a SO busy but I am now the proud owner of a nose piercing :) It was surprisingly fun to have some friends along for the piercing appointment. I did decide to order some pizza and cinnamon sticks to celebrate after, but the driver got lost, dropped my pizza, burnt my sticks, and took over an hour to get there, by which time I had already snacked and thought better of it lol I ate a piece or two of each and decided to just throw out the rest.

    On the bright side, I deep-cleaned my kitchen yesterday (can't wait to prep! I'm going Asian-inspired this week), tidied up my apartment, worked on a new zine, and washed bedding ^_^


    @Krysless2 That's so awful! I'm so sorry to hear that you went through that :( Predators like that are the absolute worst.

    @DaffyGirl88 I love offbeat holidays! They're so much fun and it's great to add a bit of silliness to the year :)

    gain: 0.3lbs.

    Friday steps: 10,822

    I did eat breakfast this morning and I didn't last week so in reality I feel like I maybe lost about half a lb. and the scale isn't showing it. Pants are now two inches loose on the waist.
    Really hungry for sweets today. I think my body knows it's burning fuel and it's trying to get me to eat more!
