Fever is gone, but not cleared to go back to work because I am waiting for my Covid test results to come back!@shineyourlight how are you feeling?
That is awesome! Whatcha doing?!Officially down 30 pounds!
I'm glad to hear your fever is gone!!! Those are never fun!!Fever is gone, but not cleared to go back to work because I am waiting for my Covid test results to come back!Thanks, @Somber!
One of the few friendships I've had w/ a girl my age, she commented I have such pretty eyes. They are brown & around the pupil it's green.
I often try to sneak in a small exercise routine of planking for at least a full minute followed by 25 push ups each time before going to work. Old habits from my time in martial arts won't die easily even after six years of not being in a classroom, I suppose.... I ask the Spirit to guide me on the planking part and give me a nudge whenever it is time to let up, regardless of whether a full minute has passed or He wants me to hold the position for some time longer. And today, apparently He saw that I was drawing inspiration from watching the Cobra Kai show recently and decided to push me to a limit today
, because I think at least three minutes had passed this time and it was starting to hurt, but I trusted and held out until He gave me the nudge to stop. ... And then I decided, why not, we'll try the second part with pushups on our fists today instead of palms down.
Could it be Sarah's Knight's time to rejoin the ways of the barehanded warrior once more and see how far he can go?

I haven't done plank and push-ups for quite a long time, but have been thinking of taking it up agai.
Aww thank you!Sorry I'm a little late, but happy birthday!! I hope you had an awesome and blessed birthday!![]()
Thank you also Vinteram a little late aswell, since I haven't been on the forum the last couple of days.
Happy belated Birthday Sampa.
It's great that you are doing this kind of routine. All good for the core work. I watched a video some years ago that if we ever had to do prepper survivalists go underground kind of stuff, planks would be the thing to keep ourselves in shape.I often try to sneak in a small exercise routine of planking for at least a full minute followed by 25 push ups each
Office drama, and backstabbers, not fun. Good job being aware.At work I had a Gossip Girl moment with someone that makes decisions with snow plowing assignments. The short of it, is I know for sure that even though she's pretending to be my friend that I cannot trust her and that she is lying about what someone said. I had to pray after she told me what she did to discern and had trouble concentrating on the video meeting that I was in.
But the Holy Spirit brought to mind where the source of the rumor probably came from. I'm so thankful that I have a co-worker and friend I was able to take a walk with and sort through the details. Mean girls do exist!!!!!
It's pretty surreal the whole thing, but if someone is not snow plowing, others may start acting in "survivor" mode because they don't want to plow. I'm thankful that the Holy Spirit has given me peace about the situation even though this person wanted to instill fear and distrust
Aw! I always dislike being cooped up when the sun is out and the weather pleasant! I hope you were able to get a little sunshine at least!The sun is shining for the first time since like before Christmas, it's actually sorta warm. I wish I didn't have to work, I'd love to pack up the car and just drive somewhere, maybe the coast.
There's no doctor today, and I have the coverage for the morning, so I'm doing the responsible thing and working half day instead of calling out. Having lunch at my favorite coffee shop in town while I wait for my haircut appointment at the barber.
I need more days like these.

Oh goodness, me either! I keep thinking I want to get back into an exercise routine and then I never do. I need to become more disciplined with myself!I haven't done plank and push-ups for quite a long time, but have been thinking of taking it up again.
Wow, it sounds like you handled the situation so well!Thank you! More interestingly I think the source came from a manager that was a guy that unexpectedly got called out. And I think she was covering for him. She's part of the old school drinking clique from years ago. There are few of us that go back as far as we do. I hate to say it, but the one that gave me the information has never been the same since her fiance she had took his life in front of her a decade ago. They were in a fight, and he was well known and respected. It hit all of us at work really hard.
But in general I have some frenemies, which is okay because I'm becoming more polished at how to have friends even though I know I can't trust them. It's strange, because I'm such a real person, but because of my high profile position with wellness and coaching others I have to be inviting to everyone. And even more, I think the Lord has gifted me with kindness that goes beyond. And I'm thankful. But also the Holy Spirit has given me sharp discernment. At the same time I can be a goofball and say unintended things, it's just mastering how to fashion it so that it's not bigger than what it seems. All in Christ and doing things unto the glory of the Lord.
it's hard! But yeah, I got to kick it awhile and relax and enjoy the sunshine before heading into work.Aw! I always dislike being cooped up when the sun is out and the weather pleasant! I hope you were able to get a little sunshine at least!![]()
Oh that's good you got to enjoy some sunshine at least!it's hard! But yeah, I got to kick it awhile and relax and enjoy the sunshine before heading into work.
Since I came in late, I told my associates they could go home early and I'd cover it alone. Fair is fair.
