I wanted to come say hi. I'm not sure when I will be home again to do any fitness. But I'm cheering for everyone who can.
If I were home, today would be leg day 1. Here is what that looks like.
Barbell back squat, 5x5 135#
Romanian deadlift 3x12 150#
Leg press 3x12 90#
Prone leg curls 3x12...
Thanks so much. Today was not a good day. Every day is a struggle, but today was especially hard. I don't like to pull cheat days twice in a row. First I had a job to do. Today I'm broken. What do you do.
I have had some time to process my feelings and I'd like to drop in to say I appreciate all the kind things and apologies. Really, I mean it. It is not your fault. I just have a lot I'm going through and without divulging gory details, as this is my real name and people do search for me using...
Judging by those reactions, I'm guessing this isn't an isolated thought. I'm not sure how to feel about that.
I think I'm going to return to lurker status. No offense to anyone who did enjoy my banter. I will answer to direct messaging in case anyone is interested in my input on fitness or...

This is the set list for today's concert, I'll update when I play.
My vet says he's the smartest dog she's ever seen. He was just there to get on apoquel for his ragweed allergies. He's a very clever boy. I have a chart of all the things he knows and keep it updated. I teach him something new at least once a month. This month he learned "boop assist". If you...
I'm sorry I didn't make it back in here yesterday. I had a pocket watch to engrave and I ran out of day.
I'm at work now, trying to do my job, drowning in anxiety. Huggin' my boy. He comes with me to work when I'm having bad days.
Jjajang is the name of the sauce. It is a derivative of the Chinese way to say black bean paste, chunjang. Myeon is "noodle". Put both together and you get black bean sauce noodle, as one word, kind of like how Germans string together a bunch of thoughts about a thing and make it one word.

Jjajangmyeon is the Korean equivalent of pizza. It's the most common food ordered for takeout. It is typically a fresh made wheat noodle similar to udon that's fried with a black savory sweet sauce you stir fry with pork fat and serve with meat and veggies.
I read a lot of Korean comics, and I...
Hi everybody. I'm shirking work responsibilities to try and catch up. Hooray!
I hear talk of dinner. I'm thinking jjajangmyeon.
I have a really useful cookbook I'll share when I get home with some of my favorite swoley recipes.
I thought of why I like wheaten so much. It reminds me of crème brûlée. They're little feathered creamy pudding deserts with caramelized sugar on top. What's not to love?
Wheaten is such a gorgeous color. There are few colors I like more. I have a salmon faverolles bantam now that is that lovely sort of wheaten color and I adore her color, and her. She is no Smoke, she's still young and warming up to me. I am grasping at opportunities to replace her. She was a...
