Overall, a pretty good day! I do need to start actually hitting step goals. My not-so-new watch does set progressively more difficult goals, but I have been absolutely horrid at making step count last month, let alone 10k a day. So, new goal, try to make the step count on my watch every day. But not today. Because it is sleepy time.

==mm== Counting Victories - Bought curtains!!!
:x: Some ball foot rolling
:?: Evening Foot stretches

Pretty okay day. I did lose a bit of it to gaming, but it was helping me to stay awake. I did get a lot of things done, including purchasing curtains for the house. I'm excited to finally get the windows done. We started this whole process back what, June? Finally, new windows! Didn't go fully blackout on the curtains, just light filtering. So, still somewhat energy efficient while keeping my house from looking like a cave. And finally getting rid of blinds. Don't get me wrong, they are useful, but Orion has been known to destroy blinds that are in the way of his window access. So yea, this is going to be awesome.

M almost finished putting together my craft cupboard today so soon, I'll get to start organizing and putting my craft supplies away. I am so excited for that, even though it might be a few weekends before I get to really settle into the task.

Dear Santa-I-gifted,
I now declare that I have done your gift. I really did want to do them all, but I had to be wise and not do a ton of things that my foot isn't used to. I am still going to try to do a few more, but they won't count from here on forward.
So, let's go Santa sleuthing!!

P.S. I don't have a solid guess on my Santa yet, but I have been on the lookout and my spreadsheet is looking wildly colorful with guesses and comments.


In other news, I am going fencing tomorrow. I know for sure I'll get my challenges done, but my programs might not happen. I'll have to see when I get back in the afternoon how I am feeling.

There should be a way to turn that "feature" off.

When I got my current sports watch, it was also doing that thing where it chose a step goal for me some % higher than whatever I did the day before.

Uh, dude... I was already doing a minimum of 12 km a day just walking Shelby! I found it a little bizarre that the programming would just assume no one is happy with the mileage they're already doing!

I have recently learned how to turn that feature off. But, I am going to leave it alone up until I get to that point.

:v: Some ball foot rolling Cold foot rolly thingy

So, in all, I am home. I am about to settle into write and I am currently using the frozen foot roller on my poor foot. But I did great today. I did run a little back to the resurrection point, but when everything became too much, I stopped. I also remembered why I wear boots to melee fighting. So, gotta buy and break in new boots before war. But I am not going to require myself to do any Challenges or Programs. My foot has had enough for today. Hopefully I'll be alright for field work tomorrow. That I conveniently forgot about while fencing and having a great time. :pmode:

Total Body Strength 5 - okay, I am accepting that 2 programs is too much right now. I will come back to this and start over fresh.

Last Things:
==mm== Counting Victories - I was very productive on things I didn't really want to do.
:x: Some ball foot rolling
:v: Evening Foot stretches

As stated above, I am stopping Total Body Strength. It is too much right now to juggle 2 programs, as much as I hate to admit it. I like both of them, so it was hard to pick, but I know I am making the right choice. Upside, it means that sometimes I can sprinkle in some of the workouts that I have been wanting to try, on those days when I am super ambitious and I can do more.

... And all of that is made ridiculous by the fact that I want to do Pandora again so bad right now. :blackout: Talking about RPG fitness programs does that to me. I love them so much. :tuzki-love:

On the Santa Sleuthing part, I am a running into a lot of dead ends. I'll need to take some time to review logs again for more clues, but I have 4 guesses that I am fairly sure are right, and I have a suspicion about the same writer giftees that the Rainbow Dragon mentioned. BUT, they aren't my Santa Bee. I haven't yet figured you out, my lovely Santa Bee. As for my giftee, should I provide another hint??

And for how was my day? Somewhat stressful in the morning, but overall dull. But at least there was coffee. Tomorrow there will be lots of waiting then field work.

:kcoffee: Have a wonderful day!

I'm also curious about the Santa's but there are not many hints that I can find..
People have made it tricky this year with so many doing extra workouts! I know (because I assigned them) who more than half of the Santa's are. And yet I have not figured out mine yet.

Some can definitely be sussed out by their writing style alone. (I edit the incoming gifts as minimally as possible--fixing only obvious typos and translation errors--so the gifts won't all read like something I wrote, and the individual Santas' creativity and writing style will shine through.) And some have dropped some nice hints in their threads. But yeah: I'm going to need to review people's logs again too. I know you're hiding out there somewhere, Santa!

Yup, there are some very unique styles. One of the ones I'm certain about is based off style. I haven't dug to deeply into this avenue of investigation, but it is where I am headed once I can find some time.

Last Things:
==mm== Counting Victories - I had a good time at D&D and I leveled up!!
:x: Some ball foot rolling
:x: Evening Foot stretches

So, yeah, I started my workout, feeling low energy and hitting up the Low Energy Collection, like I like to when I am feeling meh and just don't want to do what I had planned. Then I thought I had a rock on my yoga mat, so I tried to nudge it out of the way with my big toe and ended up cutting my toe on the piece of glass!

Theory is that since yoga mat was safely out of the way yesterday and the point at which the glass was was an interior surface when the mat was rolled up, a piece of glass must have either (a) worked its way through the mat due to pressure or (b) got dragged on to the mat by maybe the socks I was wearing during the step jacks (because my feet were cold!)

Anyway, it's not deep, just annoying so I stopped. I'll try to be more productive tomorrow. I had intended to workout out this morning, but I wisely elected sleep that I needed. Maybe it is a good thing, because I probably would have found the glass then and it might have been a worse incident. The area, being the area around my desk, has now been vacuumed after I found a second piece of glass. Unfortunately, this was by the window that shattered on the work crew yesterday and while they did have floor protection down and they vacuumed up afterwards, I think that these pieces just got missed.

I'm not upset with the work guys, just with myself for not thinking about vacuuming this area beforehand. I think I'll be fine tomorrow.

Anyway, D&D was good. One of our other members has taken up DMing for this section of the campaign, so we had a bit of a semi-intro session where he got to feel out being a DM and see how hard his monsters are compared the player characters. I think he is going to do a fine job, I just hope that he can stand up to the Headstrong Wizard when she thinks that she can outsmart the DM. ("Because I have five contingency plans that will keep my character from dying!")

Also, I got some really awesome dice in the mail today and they go perfectly with my dice rolling mat:

On this day, I woke up feeling alright. I made it through until about 2 and then everything started going downhill. I had been fairly squirrely all day, so that wasn't great, but I went from being ADHD as all get out to being completely unable to do anything. Got home and pretty much curled up on the bean bag for the rest of the evening. I tried to play a detective game, but I got frustrated at it not letting me advance to the next section. (Turned out, I was missing asking 1 person about 1 thing. I had found all the things and done all the rest of the talking.) My head was fuzzy, I was freezing (I had been really warm in the car on the way home), and my head was hurting. And everything ached. So, one of my nephews was sick when I went to play D&D with my siblings and I have to wonder if his mom might have been coming down with it as well and shared with me. Tried to go to bed early, couldn't sleep. Ended up eating one of the stupid GABA gummies and putting on rain noises to knock me out. I think I was overtired.

Alright, in defense of the GABA gummies, they aren't stupid. I just feel bad that I have to take something to help me sleep sometimes. Silly overactive ADHD brain.

Yup, definitely caught something. I've got a lovely cough and I've been feeling sluggish all day. Kept it light and I'm okay with that. I did what I could and I know that the rest is precisely what I needed.

Okay, as I suspected would be the case, I was not feeling entirely better. But thanks to my wonderful husband, I didn't have to go to the office because he brought me my laptop yesterday.

:giveup: Well, today, we found out why Orion has been shaking his head. Poor boy has an ear infection. So, yay, we get give him medicine in his ears. I am fully expecting him to be very, very unhappy about all of this.
:softz:Overall, I had rather busy day that has left me feeling quite drained. But it all needed to happen today, and so it did. I am still feeling a bit low energy and this cough is just annoying.

:night:Now to get some sleep and see how I feel in the morning.

Okay, I am feeling mostly better. Still coughing here and there, but overall, much improved. :tuzki-hero: M has started coughing, which I predicted would happen today or tomorrow. :break:Orion is a grumpy cat. He does NOT like the medicine going in his ear, nor the cleaning solution that we have to apply twice a day. 13 more days of this. Yay. This is how Orion feels ---> :tuzki-stub: He has been very grumpy with everybody, but I haven't seen nearly as much head shaking so something must be working!

In other news, I did half of the work towards a chainmail tutorial on my small chainmail stars, so I am actually super excited about that. I'm aiming to finish it up tomorrow.

Now, to go find some tape for that ankle and to enjoying the rest of my evening. :dkitty: (Doing laundry, catching up food log, and playing some video games.)

:sendinglove: Keep on being awesome and I'll catch you next time!

Well, day isn't quite over yet, so I'll say something if I get into anything else. Today was a nice, quiet day at home. Got a little worked up over nothing, but that happens. I do feel a little bummed about not going to my sis' birthday party, but I'm still feeling bit congested and wasn't up to driving for 7+ hours round trip. Nope.

For the rest of the evening, the plan is a little more writing, getting some more work in on the tutorial, and then relaxing and playing some games. Maybe I'll add some exercise rewards, like I did when I was playing Pandora, or find something to use at 20 min intervals, like Movie Night.

:sendinglove: Keep on being awesome and I'll catch you next time!

Wow, so much work! Cool!
Thank you! Yes, all of those stars were a lot of work. I've only had to make two in the course of making the tutorial, because I forgot to check my photos as I went!
