📧 Day 10 (b) -

Characters - Etho/Joel Words - 1,040 Time - 45 mins Content - Farm AU | fluff | suggestive comments

Etho was getting real tired of potatoes. Really, really tired of potatoes. Planting potatoes to be precise. Gardening, he didn’t mind at all, repetitive work was always nice to tune out of the world and be by himself. The sun on his head and the ache of muscles was nice seven out of ten times, but this was getting excessive. Extremely excessive. 

The previous day, he’d spent it digging holes, and now, he’d spent his morning and continued to spend his day shoving the potatoes into the holes. Covering them up, and the thought of having to make the path again to water them made him glare at the dirt. Stupid potatoes. 

Why was he doing this anyways?

He shoved another potatoes into the soil and haphazardly covered it, moving to the next hole before looking up to stretch his back. Two rows in front, just a couple spaces ahead, was his answer. 

The farmer’s son. 

Right. 

Etho hadn’t really wanted the job, it was just to fill in time while he sorted out his new job. A friend had mentioned it, and said friend had more or less dropped him in front of the farmer’s house, and the rest was history (not really, it was a very awkward conversation Etho would very much like to forget and never think about again). And now he was there, breaking his back planting stupid potatoes when he should be at home doing—honestly, he wasn’t sure what the alternative was, hooray for moving to the middle of nowhere because he got tired of the city.

But Joel was fine, he supposed. 

…

Well…

Fine as an excuse, not fine as in handsome—which he was, but that was besides the point. 

They didn’t talk much, even though they were around the same age, and everyone said they should have plenty in common to talk about. They didn’t. Barely. 

Joel was an extrovert who liked to drink himself stupid on weekends, loud and so eager to pick a fight at any moment’s notice. Loyal like a guard dog too. A hard worker, with impeccable work ethics. Incredibly smart though he rarely used his brain, preferring fun over practicality or safety. Joel was sweet too—devoting his time to help his parents, dropping social activities the second anyone needed him, always going above and beyond to help others. 

Joel laughed and enjoyed life proudly, and he loved twice as hard. 

“We should take a break,” Joel said, and Etho had to practically throw his body in the opposite direction to not be caught staring. He pretended to stretch, making a face when his joints did in fact creaked and whined. Well, that was bad, probably. 

“Already? Can’t stand a little heat?” 

Joel looked at him with an unreadable expression, and Etho’s eyes couldn’t help drifting to his lips. (Or his body, but that wasn’t as innocent, so that was getting shelved.)

“Whatever, old man. Dehydrate for all I care.”

Etho followed Joel regardless, trying to not stare at his back. Instead, he looked down, wincing and glaring at the little mounds, cursing the root vegetable. Because beefing with potatoes was much better than staring at his not-quite-crush, right. Right. He wondered if it was too late to move deep in the mountains, never to interact with another human being ever again. He’d learn all he needed to learn in time, but then he would never see Joel again, which was a definitive drawback to his near perfect plan. And Joel was too social to invite along.

Oh, great, now he was imaging living with Joel.

Near the house, Etho more or less became one with the ground, under the shade of an apple tree. Not that he was exhausted or anything… He was just appreciating nature, becoming one with it to admire it more. Yeah. Yeah. He managed to drag himself up, sitting up against the base of the tree, having a good view of the fields. 

Then he had a great view of a Joel. 

A very up close Joel. 

“If you are going to die, could you die elsewhere? Or at least wait until I dig up a hole? You’ll be more useful dead anyways.” 

“What a weird way to say you want to use my body.”

Joel seemed to freeze on the spot, only a fraction of a second before emptying a glass of water (Etho hadn’t even notice he was holding, because Joel’s pretty face was more important, of course) into his face. Ice rolled around as he sputtered, wiping down his face to see Joel looking down at him. Just out of reach, Joel escaped his grasp, and he didn’t feel like chasing him because really cared about his job and murdering his employer’s son probably wasn’t the best idea (no, Etho wasn’t tired, not at all). Step by step, further from his grasp. 

Oddly enough, the water did help cool him down, though he was probably looking to catch a cold later, but whatever. He pulled at his shirt, fanning himself a little before his eyes drifted as they always seemed to do. Caught by the only thing worthy of attention.

Joel was crouched in front of some plants he didn’t remember what of, shears in his hands, meticulously continuing the upkeep. It made sense, since his parents weren’t in town for at least two more weeks, which meant Etho was stuck with him alone for a while longer (willingly ignoring the other workers meant nothing, not a thing). And he worked hard, endlessly. Never complaining about it. And Etho just couldn’t forgot Joel’s face, the way it broke with smiles at productive harvests, at being able to go around and pick stuff for dinner. 

Two plates at the table. For a while longer. 

Maybe he should make his move or something. 

Instead, Etho watched him prune. Carefully, deep in concentration. Broken only by the arrival of the herding dog, nuzzling into the side of his face. And how could Etho do anything but stare dumbly when Joel smiled so bright, so happy, pressing his head against the dog’s? 

And how was Etho supposed to not die of a heart attack when Joel looked at him the same way shortly after?

i probably shouldve saved the ask for tomorrow, but this blog is literally dedicated to making bad decisions. and since its the first ask, i shall bend the rules over and over again! also, yes, prompts to me are like suggestions. one day i will actually focus writing on the actual prompt, until they, i shall continue to be absolutely normal about writing

9/18/24

Yesterday's meals & this morning's breakfasts.

Got a 1.5 mile walk in, & about 45-50 min on a recumbent bike.

Feeling better today. Nebulized already.

Up early, caffeinated. On my lunch break now.

Laundry is going. Time to walk the dogs 🐕

I addressed my loneliness with some extra Journaling this morning.

I know my marriage went bad, but I miss the companionship & cuddling. My ex turned out to be a cheater who manipulated me and financially abused me tho, so I don't miss that shit. I haven't spoke to them in years. Sometimes it is just better to cut contact completely.

Caregiving is lonely. Working from home is lonely. Not living in town is a little lonely too because it's not like I can just pop by someone's house. Everywhere I can go involves more driving and is less accessible, especially in today's corporate world.

My gf got sick at about the time i was starting to get restless, so I am giving her space to heal.

I am trying to refocus that intensity back to myself. Focus on my goals. My shit. My stuff.

I am recovering, I am trying to allow myself more rest.

Day 20 of 75 Hard

When I complete today, it'll be the furthest I've ever been in this challenge (made it through day 10 then day 19 in 2021).

The journey so far:

Two 45+ minute workouts, 3+ hours apart, at least one of which must be outside. Because I work 10 hour days in wetland restoration navigating mucky, watery, and steep terrain with ~40lbs on my back, I count those 4 workdays as my outdoor workout. Yes it's already part of my routine, but I wasn't going to not do this challenge just because I'm not fitting another workout in before work.

My other outdoor workouts are all walking and/or running around the neighborhood or on trails. My indoor workouts are push, pull, and indoor cycling days with my buddy, bowling with my husband, and following walk/dance/box/lift/yoga vids at home.

Saturdays are wild because I need to get a walk/run in, then go straight to cycling, and then 3 hours later bowl bc my afternoons are booked and I have to get that outdoor workout in but 3 hours away from another workout. Making it work, though!

I did put together an idealized workout schedule to train for the 5 mile trail run my buddy and I signed up for 2 weekends after we complete 75 Hard. Already had to adjust because I twisted my ankle yesterday, so I used that opportunity to try Qigong (followed by 45 min yoga). We'll see if I should stick with walking today or if I can throw in a few 3-4 minute runs.

Honestly, the toughest part of this rule is the scheduling and getting started. I really enjoy the physical activity when I'm in the flow of it.

Take a progress picture. This has been beneficial for me in a way I couldn't predict. The mirror has always surprised me, like "oh, that's what I look like?" It always shows me as curvier, less athletic than I picture myself. Might stem from a grey area of body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria. It's one of the things I'm talking with my therapist about.

But now that I'm taking a picture of my body every day, I'm realizing that what I'm seeing in the mirror looks better than what I'm seeing in the photo, giving an element of valuing what I see in the mirror. Like, I can more positively accept that that's me. So that's cool.

10 pages of reading a "think about your life" nonfiction book. I read The Book on Mental Toughness, which the creator of 75 Hard wrote. 3 of 5 stars. I might write an extended review, but a lot of the book was like watching a car crash. Yeah, the author's mentally tough, but he's not very well read sociologically. It'll be a tougher read for anyone who's nonbinary, living with intergenerational trauma, or can't stand editing/formatting issues. But there was some insightful info about 75 Hard and the continued LIVEHARD program, and I really benefited from the chapter on drinking water.

Currently reading Weave the Liminal: Living Modern Traditional Witchcraft, which I'm fully enjoying.

Books I'm considering reading next are Rest is Resistance: Free Yourself from Grind Culture and Reclaim Your Life / How to Make Friends & Influence People / The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius / Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good / and Keeping It Living: Traditions of Plant Use and Cultivation on the Northwest Coast of North America.

If anyone has a recommendation for books on Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, or Aphrodite/Aphroditus, I'm looking to learn more about their part in trans history.

Drink 1 gallon of water. I have to stick with a 90oz goal. I've tried multiple times in the past to drink a gallon a day and always wound up with a horribly sore throat after a few days. Last time, it made me sick for 2 weeks. So 90oz of unflavored water is definitely way more than I'd drink normally (32oz on a good day) but without dipping back into unhealthy territory. There are some days that I can drink more (allowing me to get in some Gatorade, preworkout, or BCAAs), but I also have a steady supply of good cough drops at hand.

I try to get in 32oz before lunch, another 32oz by 5pm, and 26oz+ before sleepy time.

Follow a diet. No cheat meals or alcohol. I'm focused on getting 100+ grams of protein a day (macro balancing and calorie deficit are secondary but seem to be happening naturally). I've also cut out chocolate (this is how I know I mean business), sugary drinks, gluten, and microwavable mac n' cheese type meals.

This is really forcing me to get my act together when it comes to planning/prepping. No more going to the coffee stand for a burrito and red bull before work. I have to either cook breakfast or nom on a protein bar. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and at least 2 snacks all have to be protein-centric for me to meet my goal. It's wild to think of how little protein I must have been getting. But now I'm full, and then I'm hungry! There's no middle ground of kinda-hungry filled with chips and milk teas. All this meal prepping and forcing myself to eat well for 75 days will probably be one of the most beneficial things I've ever done for myself.

Tangentially, cutting out chocolate meant cutting out my herbal calm chocolate supplements I always had at night to help myself wind down. Now I have to get off my phone earlier and stretch/meditate/read to get myself prepped for bed. It's good stuff.

Also, I don't drink alcohol, so there's no challenge for me there.

Overall: I'm so glad I'm doing this. This is helping me live my life the way I actually want to live it. I'm developing daily discipline and gaining insights into myself. I've lost 6lbs, my clothes fit better, and I can navigate terrain more easily. I'm enjoying trails in my free time. I was wishy-washy about my goals when I tried 75 Soft a couple months ago, and so didn't stick with them. With 75 Hard, my commitment is unquestionable. This is what my life looks like for the next 56 days. Afterward, I'll take what I like and ditch anything I don't.

If you're considering 75 Hard yourself, do make a game plan. Figure out what your diet is going to be and shop for it. Know how you'll track your water. Schedule a week or two of workouts that help you fulfill a goal (finding out what's fun for you, increasing strength/flexibility/speed, getting outside, hanging out with someone, whatever). Get a book. Give yourself this Day 0 to set yourself up for success.

Then START :D

[whentherewerebicycles]

baby fussed or cried for about two hours of our three and a half hour flight 😵‍💫 then he was very happy and chatty on the hour and a half long train ride home. then he hit a wall as we were driving over to pick up the dogs and was absolutely inconsolable for about half an hour. this poor kid! it took a while to get him down for the night because he was so overwrought but he is asleep now and I am just praying he’s tired enough to sleep straight through. unfortunately on nights when he goes down overtired/wired he’s more likely to have those night terror episodes (maybe too much adrenaline or something??) so it’s also possible he will wake up in 45 min screaming hysterically. we will weather it whatever happens but GOSH I am exhausted. and I still have so much prep work to do tomorrow morning before four hours of back-to-back student meetings. ok ok I can do this. lights out by 9pm so I can wake up around 6:30. baby routine & taking care of the dogs from 6:30-8am. baby down for his nap while I edit essays in bed from 8-9:30 (focus on NF and JW I think). shower/get ready and tidy up from 9:30-10:30. then maybe he can do some kicking around and independent play on his mat from 10:30-12 (with a bottle in there somewhere) while I work a bit more (maybe watch the training video on 2x speed since that will only take part of my brain and I can do it while he’s eating). his nanny arrives at 12 and I will then have an hour to do sustained work on MN, NF. then meetings from 1-5 sigh I can do this and it means the next day will be lighter. nanny leaves at 5 and I will then take the dogs for a walk. I am not sure if I can face cooking tomorrow so I give myself permission to order takeout if needed BUT if he happens to be having a fussy evening it might be good to do a grocery run for the rest of the week. in short: my life feels absolutely insane right now and I am just back at work full time basically. but 1) admissions season is sooooooooo close to being over, 2) as much as it sucks to be working like this now I think it will make going back to work full time feel a little bit less like a shock to the system, and 3) I still have those six weeks of unused leave that I could tack onto my leave in full or in part if I end up feeling like I need more time to decompress and hang out with my kid after the season is over.

[bacchicly]

List time...but surprise today is actually a good day! I just need to get things outta my head to make sure I get my timing right...

Ok so I just put a pork roast in for dinner and it is currently searing at 4:25.... Turn down to 350 in 13 mins.. (likely around the time I post this)

Veggies gonna be:

- canned cream corn (heat 5 mins before serving)

- apple sauce made with the apples I am roasting with the pork (fish out and smash - possibly add more apple - out when I take out the roast to rest)

- baked carrots and parsnips (5 start prep)

Personal To Do List (listed in order of priority)

Install new latch on cupboard under sink

Clean up/ practice demo I am doing tomorrow at work

Pack for prompt departure in the morning to work for presentation in the morning

Pack for trip I am taking later this week (this is shocking I am a throw things madly in a plastic bag madly before I leave person - which I hate)

Work clothing; IT; meds; toiletries; jewelry; makeup?; find damn sunglasses and things I need to drop off at head office

Further (spend an hour more?) on my new budget tracking spreadsheet - after trying other people's solutions and failing...I am trying attempt #4567923 to get on top of family finances. This time I am prioritising a blended bi-weekly/monthly approach that I sort of do naturally. I am also building it around my actual payweek schedule. And have "coded" it to analyse based on those patterns.... I.e. what happens when it is a 3 payweek month versus a 2 payweek month? What are 1st paycheck of the month expenses vs end of the month? We'll see if this time actually helps for awhile. Sigh. I suck at all of this. Oh well if nothing else...when you talk about working/middle/academic/artist class people funneling their money back into the economy instead of saving...and how important that can be... Well let's just say I see myself in that picture...and I am torn about how I feel about it. Money is a huge source of shame for me.

Re-attach eye patches on Stringbean - take photos and share

Ok so here's the timeline based on all that...I am only putting in the musts and then I am going to come back and fill in what I achieve:

It's 3pm (as I type) and I've turned down the oven:

1 am - sleep - alarm set for 7 am

Key time points working backwards:

1 am / 2 am... Who is counting

10ish - kid to sleep

11:30ish - husband home

Got kid to sleep by 10:20... Then tackled more work. Got it done eventually. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

6:30 - latest time to serve dinner

9:15 - drive to hockey & home

Helped with purple hair washing; but also did some work work. Didn't have to drive... Husband got ride.

8:00 to 9:00 - kid bath, jammies & reading

Fed people at 6:45...before that tried to do some work work but my computer needed charging so I did more on the family budget.

6:20 - call folks to wash hands, plate, choose documentary for dinner, cats in "cat jail" (we keep them out of the dinning area for fancier meals since they have terrible table manners)

6:15 - heat corn

6:00 - take out meat to rest and tackle applesauce

5:15 - carrots and parsnips in oven

Put parsnips & carrots in oven early. Now I have an hour to do some work. I wish I had an office.

5:00 - start carrot and parsnip prep

Work through personal to do list for 2.5 hours

Finished doing the latch...but I had to use armature wire to create a custom latch for the one side...apparently I should have bought a bigger latch.

3:20 - post my list

2:45 - write list

Weight loss journey, Day 2

December 26th, 2022

Hey all! I will be writing both of my entries today. I had a looong day at work yesterday, and couldnt even think long enough to write an entry hahaha :). So basically, even though this will be posted on December 27th, this particular entry will be for yesterday, december 26th. Lets get started!

Weight

I didn't really bother checking my weight today, moreso I simply forgot lololol

breakfast

for breakfast I ate a few bites of some overnight oats I made the night before. I made this with 1 mashed banana, 1 spoonful of vanilla whole milk yogurt, a cup of oats and a cup of unsweetened oatmilk, some honey and a dash of cinnamon. However, I have no clue what I did wrong, but my oats were sooo runny and soupy. I am also not a morning person, and i usually can't eat first thing in the morning bc it hurts my tummy :(

banana overnight oats- in total, 100.5 kcal

since i only took 2-3 bites, i used an app called cronometer to approximate my calorie intake.

lunch

today I went grocery shopping, and even treated myself to some starbucks :) i went grocery shopping with a goal of spending less than 50 dollars, but the store i regularly go to had a massive after Christmas sale, so I ended up spending... 88 dollars HAHA. i wanted to try and incorporate more fruit into my diet and their ad said that a bunch of fruit was on sale, but I didn't consider the fact the ad was going to change literally that day, nor did i consider the fact that we recently had a massive snowstorm so i had to get mostly veggies and only a few fruit this time. Still, i managed not to get anything overly unhealthy so its a good start! when i got home, I was craving rice, so I sautéed sweet potato and kale, and topped that onto rice and topped it all with a sunny side up egg (my favorite!)

3/4 cup cooked white rice - 154 kcal

1.5 tbs olive oil - 179 kcal

1/3 chopped sweet potato - 45 kcal

1 oz kale, cooked from fresh - 10.2 kcal

1 egg, cooked - 77.5 kcal

dinner

for dinner, i repurposed the leftover sweet potato, kale, and rice into a curry. I absolutely love curry, and even though mine may not be as authentic as it could be, I feel as if the beauty in authentic foods is working with what you have to create a delicious meal. I seriously enjoy learning about different cultures, and i feel as if food is a great visual in learning about culture. As an American i know i am blessed to be able to experience these things, and i hope that we as people can come to start enjoying more foods from around the world :) the best part about tonights dinner is i still had some leftovers to enjoy today! also, my curry was so hot it burned my bootyhole, but if youd like my recipe just ask!

1/3 chopped sweet potato - 45 kcal

1 oz kale, cooked from fresh - 10.2 kcal

1.5 tbs olive oil - 179 kcal

1/2 small chopped white onion, cooked - 13.2 kcal

1 tbs heavy whipping cream - 51 kcal

1 cup oatmilk, unsweetened - 45 kcal

3/4 cup cooked rice - 154 kcal

,1 tbs tomato paste - 13.1 kcal

snacks

i notice that i always be wanting to snack late at night, and i usually crave something crunchy or salty, like potato chips. When at the store, some containers of mixed nuts were on sale for 50% off, so of COURSE i got 2 containers! for my snack I ate a handful of mixed nuts, and I was satisfied the rest of the night!

0.2 oz mixed nuts - 33.7 kcal

exercise

today i worked, which isnt REALLY hard labor, but i definitely burn some calories since i do a lot of walking/running for my job in fast food service and we have a decent size store. I worked about 6 hours, and usually when calculating the calories i've lost at work i take off about 2 hours from my total hours on shift into the app mentioned above for the time i am standing around. Again, everything is approximate and I dont take it too seriously

4 hours/240 min, restaurant/bakery, light - 397 kcal

calories consumed - 1111.6 kcal calories burned - 397 kcal

total calories - 714.6

Again, i suck at math so all of my calculations are approximate. As well, I dont count drinks or seasonings- I only count oil because I personally want to use less oil, and counting oil gives me a visual on just how much I use and how much it actually affects me. I drink coffee everyday, and while i could try and calculate it, there is no point to me because i hate the taste of black coffee, and coffee makes me happy so i am not willing to change that, even if sometimes it might be a lot of calories in my diet. the point of this blog is for me to make healthier choices in my food, and therefore i calculate the calories in my food. if i did calculate my coffee, it would probably be an additional 200 calories most days, but for today my starbucks order was a venti brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso with 4 pumps classic syrup (soooooo good!)

24 oz brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso - 190 kcal

4 pumps classic - 80 kcal

add that to my total calories and it would be equal to 984.6 kcal, which seems more healthy anyways. The point is, don't worry about me if my calorie count is super low, it is because of these omissions in my daily coffee and spices :)

anyways, have a good day yall, and I will see you all later with my next entry!

[therantsofawriterrr]

Idk what joy old people get by pretending they have all the knowledge in the world.

(please don't say shit like, "they're still your grandparents, you shouldn't bitch abt them" etc, etc, I'm tired of hearing that.)

Personal rant under the cut:

I have never wanted to shake anyone by the shoulders because who doesn't know the basic concept of heat and density is like what?????

Like i get that you had the education of the 1940s which probably wasn't rly much (and this is actually true don't come at me)

But bro how can you not know that if you put something that is light in water, it WILL float up????? LIKE BRO THESE PEOPLE OUT HERE SAYING SOMETHING IS WRONG W THE MACHINE BECAUSE THE WATER HAS MORE DENSITY THAN THE FUCKING ALUMINIUM PLATE (like i get that density might be a big word but even the simplest of minds know that something light in water will float up)

Also. My grandmother is a masterchef. I've eaten her food and it was 👌👌👌 but now, at 80, after two falls and a bad arm, understandably, she has lost her touch. But, any person who can cook, be it something packaged or from scratch, knows that continuous heat burns the food.

Now, a rice cooker has two modes. Cooking and Keep Warm. When the rice is cooked, it goes to Keep Warm. Now the problem is, my grandfather, who does a lot of pujas and venerations and stuff, needs the rice to offer to god. He wants it to be kept at 7 in the morning, even tho he starts his worshipping at 8 and the offering is done at 9.

The rice cooker cooks the rice in 45 minutes. For some reason, the old man thinks that if the rice is not put into the machine at 7, he won't have anything to offer.

But anyway, my mother as well as the rest of us adhere to their rules. Now the thing is, Keep Warm mode also keeps producing heat. And that results, in the rice burning a bit and sticking to the bottom of the vessel.

Now, my grandmother, the woman who claims to "know everything" is claiming that something is wrong with the VESSEL. My grandparents have this thing that the food should be hot. And not like warm, hot. The kind where you'll have to wait for two minutes before touching it hot. There have been incidents where the curd was boiled because of their insistence.

Anyways, so the rice cooker is supposed to be switched off when it reaches Keep Warm mode. Max, it should be kept on for 30 mins or so. Hell, it's there so that you can make the rice quickly just before lunch, so that you can have it piping hot.

But, no.

"I used to finish cooking till 9 in the morning! My in-laws would throw me out of the house if it hadn't been like that! We didn't have this rice cooker and shit in our times we had to cook it in this big iron pot!"

Like... ok? Wtf do we do abt that? We have stuff that makes our lives easier and that's why we're using it.

God, I can't understand old people who're obsessed with how things were at their young age, with how their work used to go and everything.

Like, hey Grandma, bathrooms didn't fucking exist at your times right? If you want us to make that mental imagery of 1940s true for you, why do we have bathrooms in our house? Why're you using the AC, that didn't exist at your time, right?

Yk I've met old people who're sooo different from mine. Who move on with the ages, while keeping the nostalgia of their own. The right way to do it, is to miss your younger days and to talk about it.

Half the time she talks both out of her mouth and her ass. She herself doesn't know what's right or wrong, she's only here, staying in our home to tell us that everything her middle aged son, middle aged daughter in law and newly adult granddaughter are doing is wrong. That God is watching and that we'll get punished.

It's a fucking tragedy, how the abused becomes the abuser and the traumatized becomes the one who traumatizes others. And now, I'm afraid that my mother is going on the same path, while my father and I are actively trying not to.

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 anyways.

[phagodyke]

sorry if this is odd to ask but what is your workout routine? I’m trying to motivate myself into exercise again and seeing how other people do it helps. Have a good one!

meant to reply to this sooner but I forgor… getting round 2 it now tho! disclaimer I dunno as much abt exercise science as I’d like to + don’t rly have any 'training' so my approach just comes from personal experience - take this w a pinch of salt lol. I’ll split it in 2 parts: my routine first + then a list of things that personally motivate me in a reblog in case u find any of that useful >:-) (under the readmore cuz this ended up being kind of long 👇)

ok so: I try to ‘actively’ work out 5 days a week. this tends to be broken into 1-2 longer full-body sessions (around 60-120 mins long, at the mo usually bouldering/parkour or a full-body home workout) with a rest day before/after + then 3-4 shorter home workouts (30-60 mins long, usually some form of weight/resistance training, targeting specific muscle groups). e.g. a fortnightly workout timetable might look smth like this for me:

I don’t tend to plan specific workouts more than a few days in advance so I don’t actually follow an explicit timetable like this. instead I set aside an ‘exercise timeslot’ every day (usually 4-6pm) and I’ll intuitively decide how to work out on the day – i.e., what part of my body feels ready to go? what part feels tired + needs a break? do I have the energy/focus to do 45 mins or do I need to shorten it to 30? do i need a rest day? working out regularly means I have a good sense of how long I need for certain muscles to recover so if there’s an activity I want to do on a specific day (like a sports club I wanna attend) I’ll keep it in mind and plan accordingly so I’m fresh for that. as a rule of thumb, I avoid working the same muscle group on consecutive days + give myself a full rest day before & after any intensive full-body workout. I also try to never take more than 3 back-to-back rest days unless I’m sick/on my period/life gets in the way – otherwise its very easy for me to fall out of routine even if I’ve maintained it for months beforehand (<- adhd ass)

(also worth noting – my ‘rest days’ aren’t completely ‘inactive’ – I’ll go for a walk or do some stretches/yoga or another gentle activity instead. I need a lot of physical movement in my life or I go stir crazy <- adhd ass strikes again)

my ‘home workouts’ are the sort of movements u can do at a gym with the equipment there, but I replicate them with a yoga mat + my own weights + a sturdy chair. I have 6kg & 10kg pairs of dumbbells, plus yoga blocks + resistance bands for extra challenge. most of my workouts are based on resistance/interval training, which is focused on increasing strength by repeating sets of movements/holds at a consistent intensity/pace for specific lengths of time, with short timed rest periods in-between (e.g., a typical workout might look like 45 mins of 45 movements targeting 1-2 muscle groups, each done for 40 seconds followed by a 20 second break before immediately moving onto the next).  I like it bc I can rly feel the progress I make + find it satisfyingly challenging (<-masochist) but also bc its easy to tailor to my own ability/how much energy I have that day etc by changing weights/pace. it also works with my adhd brain bc I only have to do each movement for 40-50 seconds at a time before moving on to smth else so I don’t get as easily distracted (as opposed to doing like xyz number of reps for xyz sets). if you’re interested, I swear by caroline girvan – I’ve done her EPIC programmes a few times now + often cherrypick from her videos when I want to work certain muscle groups without sitting down + compiling a list of individual exercises + setting a timer myself. the ‘EPIC beginner’ series is a great intro to her longer ones, I sometimes use that to ease myself back into working out if I haven’t for a while, but be warned it isn’t aimed at ppl who are completely new to that style of exercise. I think she has an app now that comes with an ‘absolute beginner’ version + a 14 day free trial(?) so might be worth checking that out. I will admit some of her stuff is TOUGH - I still can't do all of them w the same weights/pace she does... I particularly struggled with wrist strength when I started out too and had to do some separate conditioning/strengthening exercises before I could even work up to doing like. a single push up on my knees... so if u do check her out try not to get put off by how crazy strong she is bc thats literally her career skfjkj the important thing is just doing it to the best of ur own ability/to ur point of hypertension + keeping good form throughout!!

full body home workouts are pretty much more of the same just longer since I'm hitting more muscles (i.e. 60-90 mins) + sometimes with cardio elements (altho I can’t do HIIT workouts involving jumping at home bc I’m a respectful upstairs neighbour 😔). If I go to the bouldering gym (I try to go fortnightly atm) I’ll usually spend ~2 hours, focusing on trying to send one route at a time until my arms give out. im currently getting confident with V2 grades and tentatively working on V3s. its probs my fave sport, there's a level of problem solving to it that I find rly mentally stimulating... even tho I boulder solo, trips to the gym are social for me bc I often end up chatting to ppl working on nearby problems + picking up technique/advice from them, its a v welcoming space (I'm also planning on joining my new city's queer climbing group!). the parkour sessions I go to are also social, they're run locally for free around the city + structured by more experienced members in the community. they usually involve a warmup, conditioning, drills focusing on certain movements/jumps etc, and then free 'play' trying to put those moves into context. again ~2 hours long. im def not a pro at climbing or parkour but theyre super fun + would 100% rec if ur interested + can find a friendly local group for either, u can teach urself using online resources too :-)

goes without saying but I also warm up for at least 5 mins before doing ANYTHING!!! I try to cater it to the muscle group im planning on working with but still cover the whole body cuz its important to get ur heart rate up + even when u focus on one muscle group there will be others that get dragged in. I don't rly have a 'set' warmup but again caroline girvan has some good ones on her channel 👍 likewise always good to cool down after with stretches cuz future me will be grateful for it.. altho sometimes I'm a bit lazy abt it 🤭

okkkk i think that’s pretty much the bulk of it, I’ll stick my motivation tips in the reblog 😁

TGIWednesday: What is a sink orange?

TGIWednesday News

My sweet mother aka Granny Ruth would say, "There's nothing better than a sink orange".🍊 When in season, she would peel the orange and eat it over the sink without worry that she'd make a mess!  So I guess I shouldn't be shocked anymore by the total high weirdness all around and through my home at every turn. We woke up the other morning to a dozen random oranges on the front lawn!  I know, I know, there's got to be a logical explanation... but first let's take out the obvious.  We have no orange trees and we have cameras everywhere 📷 that didn't even pick them up if they fell through a portal! 🍥  Perhaps it's just my mom/Granny Ruth saying hello and hinting that we should all slow down a little and have a sink orange or a nice piece of fruit this summer. There was an Allman Brother's record album called, "Eat a Peach" ��� so hey whatever you have in season in your hemisphere, go for it.  Another reminder that instead of living your life as drudgery and expecting the same old nothing matters; experience your life through the eyes of a child and live life as if everything is a miracle and a wonder!

TGIWednesday: What is a sink orange?

TGIWednesday News

My sweet mother aka Granny Ruth would say, "There's nothing better than a sink orange".🍊 When in season, she would peel the orange and eat it over the sink without worry that she'd make a mess!  So I guess I shouldn't be shocked anymore by the total high weirdness all around and through my home at every turn. We woke up the other morning to a dozen random oranges on the front lawn!  I know, I know, there's got to be a logical explanation... but first let's take out the obvious.  We have no orange trees and we have cameras everywhere 📷 that didn't even pick them up if they fell through a portal! 🍥  Perhaps it's just my mom/Granny Ruth saying hello and hinting that we should all slow down a little and have a sink orange or a nice piece of fruit this summer. There was an Allman Brother's record album called, "Eat a Peach" 🍑 so hey whatever you have in season in your hemisphere, go for it.  Another reminder that instead of living your life as drudgery and expecting the same old nothing matters; experience your life through the eyes of a child and live life as if everything is a miracle and a wonder!

[lowwasteorbustanut]

So uhhhhhhh

Today has been a DAY! (Thursday to be exact)

Started when I woke up with a stronger than normal headache.

(I’m disabled and I experience a headache everyday. Every. Day.)

4 am Went to work

6 am became a migraine.

(Worked for 5 hours so I could leave early but not have it counted against me since I worked more than half my day.)

9am Get home.

Rest on the couch.

11:30 am Suddenly my right nostrils gets HELLA congested. Like fully blocked cannot breathe.

Boil water and breath in steam to try and break it up.

Feel my nose drain.

(Eyeball things under the cut)

Then my right eye itches. I close my eye lid and rub it with my knuckle.

Eye still kind of itchy. Leave it alone for about 15 mins.

11:45 am I go to the bathroom because my eye really hurts and my vision is funky?

See this:

Am HORRIFIED!

FYI those are NOT tears in my eye. It’s a weird gooey gelatinous film.

Drive myself to urgent care (7mins away)

12pm get to urgent care and get checked in. As I am literally taking a seat in the waiting room I am IMMEDIATELY called back.

(Uh oh that’s not good)

Answer intake questions. Do a vision test. My right eye vision is blurry and hard to see.

12:30 pm doctor comes in. Grabs my face (gently) says oh no this is an extreme allergic reaction.

What? I have no extreme allergies!

She says I do now. That the gooey stuff is actually the WHITES OF MY EYES FILLING WITH LIQUID! That my eye is no longer an orb and is now a gooey mess.

This is what she saw:

Notice how my pupil is off center/no longer a circle? Because the shape of my eye was no longer stable. And note the swelling. And the hives around both eyes. At this point my left eye was starting the same process.

Immediately get prescribed oral steroids and antibiotic eye drops (just in case it was some kind of infection).

Get an urgent referral to an optometrist. Am told I need to see someone TODAY and it is in fact an emergency.

(My coping mechanism is humor.)

Make the joke “but it’s not like I’m gonna lose my eye right?!” Giggle.

Doctor makes direct and prolonged eye contact. “I don’t know. That’s why you need to see the optometrist.”

Now I’m super freaked out.

12:45 pm Get my drugs. Call my friend to drive me to the eye appointment I made. Only opening was a town away-about 30 min drive.

Now I’m feeling a lot of pressure/pain in my right eye. Can’t keep it open.

Left eye vision is starting to get blurry.

2:30pm get to appointment. Intake.

3pm see doctor. Am told it’s a horrific allergic reaction not an infection. Get prescribed steroid eye drops on top of oral steroid and antibiotic drops.

Am told to use both eye drops. Because while it’s highly likely just an allergic reaction, the antibiotics won’t hurt just in case.

Get STRICT instruction to not touch my face/eyes for 48 hours. If my eye doesn’t start to improve by Friday afternoon, get another appointment that day. Get told I’ll be fit-in no matter what. If it starts to improve but is not almost 100% by Monday get another appointment that day. If all looks/feels good go to follow up on Wednesday.

Get a doctors note for work on Friday, because there is no way I can go in.

I have since done another full round of each eye drop. Eye now looks like this:

Looks much better! Hives are going away. Eye is more stable/less gelatinous. Vision is improving. But it still feels swollen and difficult to open.

Now it’s crusty, but I can’t touch it. And no hot water. Cold/cool water only.

Both eyes are still red but improving.

——

Anyway I did not know that you can have such a severe allergic reaction that literal parts of your eyes fill with fluid and ruin your vision. And the shape of your eye. It’s been a shitty day, but at least I still have my eyes.

And my migraine.

[bacchicly]

Alrighty - today's list is all about setting up for a successful "return to work" and setting up a successful morning routine. Note - this is the fourth or fifth attempt in the last few years to set up or rijig a morning routine that sets me up for success so I will be building on lessons learned and challenges.

Will start by doing a bit of journaling to identify some of the challenges I have been having - from there I will be putting together my to do list for the rest of the day.

Note: Tags for these types of posts seem to have settled to at least "Bacchic dances" and "list day". Other tags come and go.

Ok so I have started officially with a year of the Inflow app. Is it perfect? No - but it has a lot of things I do like about it. And if nothing else my approach of doing a better job of including my family more in the process has been very positive.

I wish there was one app that would combine everything I want... But that seems unlikely so far so part of today is to do an assessment of what I need and don't need.

So the last module was on morning routines which I admit I sort of rushed through as you are supposed to pace yourself at a lesson a day...but the good news is the next module also starts with morning routine as a central focus...so that is good and will now be my focus for this week.

Alright so random brainstorm on things that have helped to some degree:

Tumblr lists/journaling used on an "as and when" basis

Using timers for firm timelines

Using audio books on a timer as a way to keep me present / not using my phone for other crap to keep me time aware and more or less on task.

Pairing habits / tasks

External accountability

Options / flexibility

Prepping in advance

Making tasks more pleasant

Things that have been issues:

Being too rigid

Being too lax

"Dropped the toothbrush" syndrome (i.e. a change to the set up changes or something stops being usable and needs to be replaced...transitions are huge.danger zones for me)

Lack of clarity or setting boundaries

Going in alone and being afraid of imposing

Under-estimating: how long something will take, how much energy/focus it will need, how easy it should/could be, how much help I can or can't expect, potential of being interrupted, my ability to prioritise without writing it down, how bad my symptoms can be, the impact of my symptoms on myself and others, what might trigger anxiety, the positive impact of self talk

To do list:

Watch a craft video with my kid. No multi-tasking. And just one.

Take 1 hour and decide on a evening/morning routine for this week - building on the learnings above above. I am tempted to look for an app or restart with Finch but NO. I am going to use GOOGLE DOCS and "just" type up something to print up and post in the bathrooms and kitchen. I will also add as a pinned post here.

Wash stupid fridge drawer

Wash dishes

Help kid get tangles out of hair

Wash & dry & pa clothing x2...this will leave me with on load to pa tomorrow as there.is currently stuff in the dryer.

Husband Hockey

Do evening routine.

Resist creating a giant to do list of everything I would like to accomplish. Resist looking up new apps. Resist chasing thought like "I should listen to the curate my closet app again". Resist resist resist.

Update:

In kitchen - have 45 min to putter in here so:

Empty sink 1 & add h2o + soap

Pa laundry

Move laundry to Dryer and start - remember to clean lint

Empty sink 2 & add h20

Pa last of clean dishes - I did most this morning

Add new load to wash

Wash dishes

Run bath for kid.

Post dinner - pre-hockey list (I am flagging)

Help kid with work book (I mostly just have to sit beside them)

Check that clothing is dry - if yes -Pa laundry - if no - turn on for another spin

Decide if I am up to watching hockey or not (I have a cold) my fam bossed me into staying home - good call family

Pa laundry

Go to washroom

Drive to hockey

Flip laundry

Review workbook pages done with kid

Bedtime

Do some more thinking about morning/evening routine.
