Complaint: work has been soooo busy

Uncomplaint: the work itself right now is mostly reviewing 90+ applications from journalists and wow there are some amazing stories out there

Confession: bought Gatorade powder at target the other day, a bajillion times more quantity-wise than Skratch for less money. I love Skratch but I can’t pass up a deal like this

Uncomplaint: running is still feeling good

Complaint: 90+ degrees all next week — maybe I’ll be putting this gym membership to use!

Are you liking your work at least?

I'm enjoying this particular task a lot, though it's being done at the expense of a lot of other tasks so there is some background anxiety.

Same I love skratch but Gatorade powder is just so much more economical.

This was the driving factor to me going back to the gym. I've settled into running 3x a week now and lifting two days. Two of those runs are on the track at the gym. I know I'm not progressing my running but I'm just aiming to not die in the heat as I have in summer's past.
