Lent Day #5

I counted the days this time, it's accurate.

I've remained faithful to abstaining from toxic political media videos, headlines, broadcasts. I don't have much to say right now, really. Hope you all are doing well with your abstinence challenges.
Have been walking steadily more steps everyday. I am also trying to stop eating so dern much and it is paying off. This week I am down 3 lbs in weight.......
Excellent!

Lent Day #8 Wed report. It's really Thursday as I write this.

To my credit, I have remained faithful with regard to abstaining from toxic political media. I saw something though. Honestly I think it was part of a British tabloid type thing on youtube about Fergie and I didn't watch the whole thing. Maybe 5 minutes? That said, I have not heard T's voice in 8 days. Dr. Razz came up for air with a new video. Haven't watched it. I deserve a gold medal for passing that up.

The waxing gibbous is out there doing it's hump thing! You guys, you have to go look at it. It's my one true friend right now. :cry: Full moon in 6 days. :)

On steroids now. Third time in my life. I feel so toxed up I can't stand it. Hostile--->laughing hysterically--->weepy. Brain fog. I spent at least 4 hours ugly crying over youtube videos of Jackson Browne, k.d. Lang, and Linda Ronstadt videos. :?

I’ve now made it 7 days without a cigar. I don’t miss the cigar stank, so that’s an upside.
That's really awesome especially if it's a daily thing that you'd normally do! Did you check your waxing gibbous today? It's getting humpier and humpier out there.

Lent Day # 9 Maybe. I'm drugged. Don't come for me. If I start posting crazy stuff and I know it's crazy stuff, I'll hand the keys to the Chromebook over to the Boy.

I saw a headline and photo that the Clinton's testified. Hillary Clinton did a presser or statement of some kind. I would really like to listen to that but I think the limitations I set for myself are too tight to allow it. I saw a photo of T delivering the State of the Union. It looked doctored. Then I looked at the photo on Google Images, they all look like that...he looks terrible. Worn out. Drained. So be it.

So...spiritually/believing speaking, I've been doing the Bible study that was in progress when Lent began. I set up my new Prayer Journal that the Boy gave me for C'mas. I'm new at using this kind of thing with various sections and all. It's very nice and was pleasant to begin. True story. When I did the first look through the journal, I kind of froze. There are spaces to write your own prayers about YOU, and things like that. Your heartfelt inner most concerns and praises. So yeah. The introvert froze and why is that boys and girls? It's because we don't want you to know who we really are. Like actually writing that out where people can see it and read it? That is not going to happen. What if we die and we're not around to defend ourselves? I mean there's a lot of stuff in our heads and we're not letting it out.

Ever.

In any case...for those of us who actually love our gibbous enough to check on it...it's got a really good hump going on up there!

Update from the phone...Illumination is at 81%. (So pretty!) And... Full Moon in 4 Days!!! :D
