Hellllloooo??? Wow, it sure is quiet around here. Hope everyone is doing well.

I received my new workout from my trainer. Wow. It is intense, but I love it, of course!

Tonight I went to Fleet Feet and was fitted for running shoes. It was a great experience. Now I know exactly what to look for. I found a pair that feel great on my feet. Still can't believe I am actually going to try running, for real. Pretty exciting, actually.

Check in when you can.

Do we have a new thread for May?

Anyway, I hope May is better loss-wise, as the weather is so hot here and beach time is around the corner. And that means SWIMSUIT.

SarahFairhope - I finished season 1, it is great! I will watch the episodes of season 2 next weekend. I can't wait to see what happens... How is horse riding going? Do you have a khalasar?
Jinxy - nice to have a vacation, hope you are ok
Auty - I hope the stressful period is nearly over. Is it getting any warmer there?
Lottie - great news, a raise and full-time
Mj - you are amazing. You are taking up running on top of your other activities? Let me repeat, you are amazing.

I hope everyone is feeling OK and doing well and as it is election day here on Sunday here are a couple of appropriate quotes.

“Mankind will never see an end of trouble until... lovers of wisdom come to hold political power, or the holders of power... become lovers of wisdom.” Plato, The Republic

“each candidate behaved well in the hope of being judged worthy of election. However, this system was disastrous when the city had become corrupt. For then it was not the most virtuous but the most powerful who stood for election, and the weak, even if virtuous, were too frightened to run for office.” Niccolo Machiavelli

Is there no may thing here?

anyhow....

I can't do the raise/full time at my current job. It's too much. The pain is so bad I had to call off late last night and told the DM I have to put in my two weeks for a sitting job. stupid fibro. I cried all the way home on the bus last night and then cried myself to sleep. The pain was so excruciating I called my friend who had just had his gallbladder out looking for pain meds. he never filled his scrip.

btw, last night i was so upset I wanted to come home and pig out, but by the time I actually got here I couldn't stand to stand anymore, so cooking was out and I'd left my wallet at a store at the mall (they saved it for me), and I was actually so stressed the thought of food was just making me ill. I hear peopel say "I was so stressed I couldn't eat." But I always thought wow I wish that were my problem, NEVER thought I'd get there. but I def was.
