Work out. A lot. I started working out last summer to deal with a bad break-up. This joke is getting old and I’ve probably said it on Jezebel before, but after November 8th I had to choose between drinking more, or working out even more often. I chose the latter and I’m down about 60 pounds so far. I’m addicted…

Americanah! I’ve been meaning to read that. I loved “My Brilliant Friend” and many people love both novels.

Stupid historical romance novels.

I survived my first hot yoga class!! It got pretty miserable but I was kind to myself, didn’t push it too hard and did NOT throw up (that was my biggest fear going in). I bought a 2 week pass for $25 and I’m going to go every day for the next 2 weeks as a kick start to my “get back into shape already” campaign.

Permanent Change of Station. Just goofy military lingo to say that he is transferring.

I feel your anxiety. The biggest pointer I can give you is to take it day by day. Don’t go to bed without doing something nice for yourself. You have to take care of your inner self if you are to face life’s challenges and still want to retain your sanity.

Exercise helps. Strenuous weightlifting makes you focus on getting through it and not dying, and yoga helps curb anxiety. Plus there’s endorphins and the sense of accomplishment.

I keep telling myself I’ll plant dahlias, but I have a black thumb. Good job on getting things done!

Shameless brag thread: I finished 2nd out of 79 women in a triathlon today! 

Currently re reading Isadora Duncans “ My Life”.

Today I finally worked up the nerve to confront my mother in law, and let me tell you.... It feels amazing. Granted it came out of left field, and I was shaking like crazy, but it was time to call her out on her shitty, narcissistic behaviour, and I feel pretty proud of myself. She retorted to insults, so I got the…

Hi all! Haven’t posted in awhile. It’s been a stressful few months with my mother in law passing away. :( I am trying to be there for my husband but it’s a struggle. I am sad too ya know? I am trying to make sure that everything is running smoothly but I am so stressed out.

please respect my privacy at this time

Walk to clear your head. Lots of deep breathing. Its how I’m making it through nursing school while my spouse PCS’es.

We started the new Bill Nye Netflix series today. It’s more aimed towards adults (although there’s nothing inappropriate), but still chock-full of science. And he has dedicated episodes to global warming and “alternative” medicine, so there’s plenty to make everyone a little bit mad!

Anyone with anxiety/control issues have advice for how they manage? Mine’s always been an issue that comes and goes, and I just ride the wave until whatever I’m worried about resolves itself. But MrFrazzle and I have decided to try for a baby and I feel like I’m losing control. I’m worrying myself sick that it won’t…

Here’s the latest in the Charter School drama. We had a staff meeting this week and HR sent two people to lead it: A child psychologist with experience in child abuse and a representative from HR. The psychologist explained the signs of inappropriate behavior between a child and an adult. She used the metaphor of a…

Fresh out of a breakup, moving way too fast on the sleeping-with-everyone front, moved into a house with a fresh baby and have the cooking bug but haven’t invaded the kitchen with My Stuff yet. I want the nights where I wish we were back together to end. Wanting to share every funny thing I find. Tell him about my…

Well I get to find out this week if i’ll be on the jury for a rape case this week which i’m sure won’t be horrifically depressing and kill my faith in people.

Good idea with Daria! I’m watching Dear White People on Netflix. I think Daria is next.
