New here and starting Topa and with a question
Aaaaaaaah sleep. I just had another 10 hours. I think I am caught up now. Day 8 and I am feeling pretty good about AF. But I also noticing that going this stretch is also not that difficult for me. Play, I don't find it hard to go without AF. The problem I have is when I do drink is that I can't stop, and not stopping (even for that one night) can cause a whole array of problems. Losing 2 days from being hung over, saying mean things, doing embarrassing things, etc. -- it's a cycle that doesn't make for a very productive or positive life. Even if I am out drinking to have a good time the result is often the same. I laughed because on my story thread someone commented that they didn't see what I would learn from this 30-90 AF this time that I didn't already learn from 9 years sober. I suppose there is some truth to that statement, but on the other hand, I never went into these 9 years of drinking with a plan for modding. I love this thread, but I do see problems with this site overall that can be unproductive for those who don't fit into the typical problem drinking mode or do have aspirations for modding. I did start a binge thread and got a few responses, but I don't think that this type of drinking is the case for most of the people here.
Dizzy, yes, the morning is usually the most productive for me as well. Late afternoon is hard! I can be productive later in the evening as well. But you are right, juggling the work at home has its challenges. I say, buy the sneakers if you really want them! Glad for the update on your visa. What a crazy long process though, and yes, money always money.
Chiming in to say I love Greek yoghurt too, but my fave is the Astro Balkin Style. No extras -- just skim milk, cream and culture. I also love it with no sugar. I add fresh fruit (usually just raspberries, but this morning also adding some mango). Space, I find eating regularly when I work at home a challenge. My only saving grace is I don't have a sweet tooth. Fruit or jam is about as sweet as I get. Protein with a salad is a great lunch. I also like soup with some bread.
Sun, Growing CANTALOUPES! I only grew them once but I followed some key tips that made it successful (we also had a hot fall which contributed a lot I think). I put them in the hottest bed in the yard so they pretty much had direct sun all day. I also grew them from seed, but if your season is short seedlings would be a better option. The key, though, is in mulching. Although they like hot, they also need the soil to stay moist all day. I used flax hay to mulch because flax doesn't rot. Oh and just like cucumbers it is good to pull flowers higher up the stem once the cantaloupes start growing.
Will post more later. Time for breakfast and some working time. Hugs, LJ
