Darlene Pineda

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Yup, I'm awake. Steve has been sleeping since about 6pm, guess he hasn't adjusted his internal clock yet. I played Skyrim for hours. Nothing got done today. Less than nothing. Tomorrow morning is the traditional "panicked getting ready for company" process along with the "holy shit we need to wrap ALL THE THINGS!...Fuck it, just stick a bow on the Amazon box" ritual. There may also be some "shove it in the closet!" moments. Also, I have no wrapping paper. Brown paper bags, decorated with Sharpies. I think of these creative solutions to problems. Steve snores. The dogs steal my covers. Merry Christmas!

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... This. It matters. " Glen Ford says: let's talk about the real threat, an imminent one for the next demonstration. If police can constitute themselves on their own orders--and remember, there's 35,000 of them. They are an army behaving as an army of occupation. If they can constitute their own formations, then what's to stop them from self-assigning 5,000 more cops than are assigned by the commissioner of police to the next demonstration and policing it any way that they see fit? We really are on the verge of a real crisis here. And, of course, we know who the victims would be. They are threatening to take the law into their own hands, to behave as if they are the law. They are showing that the protesters are correct in describing the nature of policing in America as arbitrary, capricious, and racist, and rogue."

The report was released by the Trade Union Group of MPs, for which Lavery serves as chair and Sheridan as vice chair. The visit, they said, left them wondering "how human beings could endure under these conditions without crushing the human spirit."

via Facebook... Look, I don't think murder is okay. But do not expect me to mourn over dead cops who won't be bothered to mourn over dead civilians. The same police who insist they did nothing wrong and would do it again as they murder unarmed civilians expect me to feel more for their dead then mine? And now they are using those dead cops as an excuse for more violence? To turn their backs on their mayor? To blame protesters who just want accountability? And the NYPD declared war. Even though they got their killer. But they will take it out on anyone who dares to question them.... So where are the good cops? Denouncing the rhetoric of hate and blame? I'm waiting to hear from you....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I am not a Tim Wise fan, but this bit is pretty well said... "The killing of the two officers in NYC is a terrible, horrible crime. AND, here's the thing: If you treat communities like you are an occupying army don't be surprised when folks assume you have declared war on them. And then don't be shocked when some decide to declare war back. Doesn't make it right, but it's damned sure predictable. So long as the NYPD continues to excuse every act of violence done by their members, and so long as they act as though they are above criticism, the war will likely continue, which is tragic for everyone on all sides of it. But unlike the cops, who can't and won't express real remorse for anyone they kill, we who protest them do express remorse for those officers who are killed. That's the difference between us, and it matters. And so long as black people are expected to express remorse for murdered officers who they did not personally kill, while officers are free to say they have no remorse for the black people they kill -- and they would "do it again" -- where supremacy remains in full effect."

The facility is claimed to have been one of America's largest and most notorious state psychiatric hospitals in the era before deinstitutionalization. The book focuses on exposing the trend of this hospital to diagnose African Americans with schizophrenia because of their civil rights ideas. The book suggests that in part the sudden influx of such diagnoses could be traced to a change in wording in the DSM-II, which compared to the previous edition added "hostility" and "aggression" as signs of the disorder. Metzl writes that this change resulted in structural racism."

Just enough to be annoying enough to make sleep elusive. Because the inside of my nose itches. So now I'm exhausted, in amazing pain, and itchy. But it is better than last night when I was in intolerable pain and exhausted. And I can rub my nose incessantly.

I'm pretty sure those clothes belong on like hangers and that's where all the stuff I can't find is and if I went through it I could find it AND be able to get into my closet to have room to put away the stuff in the basket if I folded it.

The pain caused by a kid who has read some blogs and can say things like "evil imperial plans" when discussing sending aid to Africa for the Ebola outbreak and can insist that most if not all military should be arrested for war crimes and put in prison but, of course, has no actual working knowledge of said military and lumps everybody together and calls me biased. And ignorant. Ignoring that my spouse is retired military. And uses multiple ?????? when asking questions to make them questionier. Which actually was the thing that made me twitch. Did I mention still a teenager? And somehow me mentioning that the military contains bunches of marginalized groups and oppressed groups made me a chauvinist. Anyway. My brain hurts. I'm going to eat chocolate and listen to Walken read Where The Wild Things Are to clean my brain.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I need your input, oh wise Facebook friends.... At what point does evening food turn from second supper to midnight snack to first breakfast? The Teen says a certain amount of sleep must happen for food to be considered breakfast and/or it must be past 4am. I said if it was the last slice of pizza (cold) or a sandwich that would fall under midnight snack, but a cooked meal is second supper before midnight or first breakfast after midnight. Begin....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Okay... think maybe I'll go LOOK at the laundry, fold one or two items, feel tired, and join the dog pile on the bed. It's a plan.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Nap, video games, or laundry folding? Why hasn't someone moved in with me to fold laundry and do other part time adulting yet? I PAY IN CHOCOLATE AND BOOZE! Also books. PM resumes. Must be able to fold laundry, put laundry away, throw tennis balls, play tug, willing to share food with dogs. Occasional other part-time adulting as needed.

When he isn't in the mood for pastry he goes to the library. He's hasn't bought anything, he's just burning years of discs. The Apple guy had to create an email for him to create an iTunes account for him. I love my dad :)

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I'm...I'm thinking of clearing out some of my books. I'm okay, really. No fever, just...not homeschooling anymore and so many books that were justified as maybe one day...plus I don't read them all anymore. Sigh. Who wants books? Even better...who wants to move in for a week or two, help me clean up my house, and take boxes of books as payment? Food, coffee, cats and adult beverages included, she added hopefully. Pm me if you might want books. Maybe I'll put together a list. Maybe I'll just box up shelves of genres. Depends on my mood. Maybe I'll change my mind and keep them all! It's happened before....

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Thing that actually happened: Visiting friends when a young neighbor of theirs wanders over to see what the party is about. A few people are dancing, I'm sitting in a group chatting, I look up and say to the newcomer "oh, you should go dance" "Hey, you got a man here?" Eyebrow raises "No." "I'll let you feel my abs." Side eye and ignore. Later as the party winds down he comes over and asks for names, I turn to the Teen and say "What's a good name to give him?" "Now why would you give me a fake name?" "Because anyone rude enough to pull a 'wanna feel my abs' doesn't deserve my name." "What? I didn't say that!" Now no one else had really heard him, but at this point the Teen speaks up, "On yes you did." And related it verbatim. Everyone just stares at ab guy. Ab guy slowly slinks always. It was pretty awesome. We're still laughing about it.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Maggi challenged me to name a bunch if books that had an impact in my life. Don't have to be grand literature, just those books I still cling to and re-read every year. So in no particular order: There's a Monster at The if This Book. (I read that about elebenty gazillion times as a child. My mom would patiently act out all the terror with me at every turn of the page). Before school every started A Little Princess. I wanted to be Sara Crewe SO BADLY. I always thought, and still do, that her genuine compassion and kindness was something to be emulated. The first boom that taught me the joys of giving--even if it's your last bit of food, because someone else is much hungrier than you. Little Women. Yes, I'm Jo. Gone With The Wind. Yeah, as I got older I started seeing all the sweeping issues, but even at nine I had issues. But Rhett was my first real literary crush. Isaac Asimov: I, Robot. The cleverness and humanity of the robots and the human detectives. Never a fan of Foundation, but the Robot stories won my heart. High school Why I Am Not A Christian, Bertrand Russell. Also high school. Catholic high school. Teachers loved me :) Death bird Stories; Harlan Ellison. Because an introduction to some of the most power damned writing ever. Read it. Today. Good Omens. Gaiman and Pratchett. Funny, witty, clever, satirical, pointed, and naked truth. All wrapped in dry British humor. Read it today. The works of both those authors. Trust me. A Prayer For Owen Meany. Read the first sentence and if that doesn't intrigue you I don't even know who you are. It is the only book that I spend an hour weeping during, no matter how many times I've read it. The Lucifer Effect; Zimbardo. Why people do evil things. It matters. The Killing Joke; graphic novel. Because all the separates me from evil is one bad day. The Watchmen; graphic novel. Because it matters. Also, Rorschach is my fav. He needs a hug so bad. All of Poe and HP, of course. Les Miserable because me daddy spent months reading it aloud to me. I was seven. It was magic. Okay. I'm in transit and could probably think of others were I looking at my shelves, and on a different day I'd have a different list. I'm going to tag Ashley Campbell, David Rain Beverly, Mark Williams to do the same. If you do so, I owe you a bottle of your choice :)

via Facebook... My days-long headache just erupted into a ball of flaming butter knives jabbing into my brain and behind my right eye. And into my right ear. Possibly slowly burning my skull away to expose what brain I have left. Also, they are butter knives because sharp ones wouldn't hurt as much as dull blades. Also, I think my lower jaw may fall off. Also, don't tell me to go into a dark room and close my eyes because I can't because my brain doesn't just stop because it's being attacked with knives of fire.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... This. Thank you Christopher "WTF is it with people being so clueless about addressing problems in our society directly, and talking about issues in a responsible, healthy manner? The entitlement of ignorance, and the tactic of avoidance frustrate me to no end." If I hear one more person try to defend #Ferguson police I might literally have blood come shooting out my eyes.

I was almost convinced I was having a heart attack but it turns out I had smacked myself on something (oh, like Timber's head) and I have a small bruise. My brother Brian assured me that my heart was very safe in the jar by the bed where I keep it. Also I need a small rest day after vacation. Time for first nap.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... So this is how my day has gone....on a post defending the police of Ferguson as being real swell people. ____________ Me: Any good cop who protects a bad cop is a bad cop. When cops show up in riot gear they invite riots. When they show up and walk with protesters in peace they actually do their job of serving and protecting the people. They gunned down an unnamed teenager. Their integrity is in question. They have no integrity as long as murdering teenagers is okay. Her: I thought you had unfriended me, I liked that better. Honestly, YOU CAN FUCK OFF _________________ The level of actual discourse on other threads have gone about the same, meaning mostly just insults and babbling. But we have no race problems at all, obviously, because that's what white people say....

I am so sad, and I feel so powerless. But really, I have the privilege of not having to explain to my child how to not get shot. How to talk to a cop for being pulled over, again, for having the audacity of driving while black. I don't know what to do. Drive to Ferguson and be a witness? Get gassed and arrested? Stay here and post angry Facebook statuses? How do I use all the privilege and power I have to make sure no more children die in the streets? And if this is the anger and grief I feel, what do those in Ferguson feel? I can't imagine that much pain. That much grief. This has to stop. We have to all stand up and say that this stops here. Now. That we will not let this be the legacy we leave for our children. We must never just be bystanders. We need to fix this. And it starts with us. And ends with us.

But I'm not tagging anyone, y'll can decide if you want to play yourselves :D 1. I am thankful that I have medical insurance to see the doctor to get my hip fixed. And that I have doctors who listen to me, who take me seriously, who work with me. 2. I am thrilled to pieces that I have a teenager who is not only snarky and sarcastic but also kind and generous and loving . Who will drive me to the doctor's office and get my prescriptions filled and run to fetch dinner and pick up groceries and help me drive to another state to rehome a dog and is clever and funny and responsible and quirky and everything wonderful. But don't tell him I said so, he'll get all embarrassed. 3. I am lucky beyond belief to have the luxury of a washing machine and dryer, to do my laundry in my own home, to fold it in front of the TV (with extra help from the dogs, who were concerned that all the dog hair had been removed from said laundry), and to have space to put those clothes away. Let alone the privilege of having new clothes that need washing. I remember times when I had none of those things, and I'm grateful beyond measure for having them now.

Did you see how fast I jumped away? SL: the bee was already half the yard away T: need to keep guard, there might be more. I'm going to go investigate that patch of grass over there.... SL: what about your ball? T: I'm investigating, woman! Don't distract me with tennis balls! SL: (gives a hard look) what did you just say? T: I'm investigating, to...ah...keep you and Misha safe. No rabbit pellet is left unlicked, no grass not sniffed, with maybe a small taste. He's been cautious around those evil bees. He is awed because Misha chases them, so now he runs behind her for, I don't know, support? Anyway, if you hear tell stories of a pirate getting shot whilst carrying his treasure...it was a bee. A bee that didn't even sting him.... My brave boy :D

via Facebook... In bed. Misha is sleeping. Timber has stopped his obsessive quest to reach his sac and yank out his stitches. Well, at least for now he has. He is actually....shhhh...sleeping. And relaxed. So Misha and I are getting in some girl time. Pin a few things, read a few posts, and drift off to sleep...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... GAH! I really have to get out of the house....in a few days, in a few days....

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I feel like this should be well understood, but it's been brought to my attention that some people thing that sarcasm--in every context-- is just plain bullying. Mean, and signifies an inability to have a deep friendship because one keeps people at bay. Also it means one is deeply insecure and has low self esteem and lacks knowledge of their true self. *pauses to laugh* Now, I would take the time to dispute all that, but why bother? If sarcasm really bothers you, well, there's the door. I cherish the sarcasm of my friends, and nurture it in my kid, and hone my own. And I'm sure not going to change because of some psychbabble claptrap. Sarcasm: one of the many services I offer. A language I speak fluently. And one which I quite enjoy.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Building the IKEA thing. Hoping I remember how it all goes. Thank goodness the Teen is doing the heavy lifting. Timber and I are supervising because I have to fill the thing after it's built.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Today is video games on the couch, because if I try to do anything else the dog whining sends hot spears of lava through my brain.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Skittles and Diet Pepsi....it's what for breakfast. Don't even point out that it's after noon...Timber is at the healed-enough stage to be actively pitiful and needing constant petting, I'm happy I managed to shower...

via Facebook... I am trapped by a finally-at-rest Timber. I hope SOMEONE will bring me food before I expire...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Woken repeatedly through the night by an itchy, aggravated dog. Got nothing but time and a Do the Thing list ahead of me. Along with vertigo, still with me because why not? So I'm going back to sleep. Some days are not worth adulting.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I did my nails today, YAY! I polished a dog hair (or cat hair, really could be either) into my thumb nail. Boo. I'm going to pretend it was an intended design. Yay! It wasn't on my Doing the Thing list originally, but I have since added it to the Doing the Thing list so I could then check it off that list. Those playing at home can also check it off. Ah, so satisfying! I did do the laundry thing and closet thing, too. Not the IKEA thing. Saving something for tomorrow.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Today is the day to do the things. Laundry/closet things. Build Ikea things. Throw away/donate things. Clean things. I'll start by playing some video games while lounging on the couch with two very happy dogs...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Awake. One hour forty six minutes of sleep. Timber had an itch. Which meant a half hour of mad spins in a thwarted attempt to get to his private bits. We are both rather grumpy now. Sleep?
Saturday, June 21, 2014
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Yay! Timber is feeling so much better he actually moved to his usual spot, so Misha is very happy to be back on my lap.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I DID THE THING! I feel so proud and accomplished. And another thing is in progress, so that totes counts as TWO things. I am on FIRE!* *Not literally. That would be very owie.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I am so beyond tired. Timber seems more relaxed today, he's even sleeping. Maybe later I'll be able to shower and do laundry and all that stuff people do in Not Having A Sensitive Dog World. He's so darn sweet, I've hated setting him so upset, glad he's feeling better.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Ah, thunderstorms. You roll in, get my dogs all worked up so I'm awake and then roll the fuck out like nothing ever happened. Leaving me to clean up your mess. *sigh* Fine. Back to sleep. Maybe. Hope so.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Timber is awesome, Timber is great. Because I really love him I'm staying up so late! Timber is terrific, Timber is so rad. The reason why I can't sleep Is 'cause Timber lost his 'nads... Pirate poetry
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... And now, the thunderstorms. And my previously calm Misha is crawling into my lap, which is occupied by a Timber who is NOT needing comfort at all but just needs cuddles. Yup...It's going to be another looooooong night.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Update from Timber Hello! Yesterday Soft Lady took me on a drive and I got sleepy and, and....Gentle Reader, I apologize, but there is no way to phrase this more delicately....I think they did something to my testicles. I haven't been allowed to examine the area...Soft Lady did magic and now there is a force field around my head that stops me from cleaning my private areas...And I can't imagine WHY anyone would want my testicles removed. Plus it itches and I can't scratch. This makes no sense. Anyway, I'm sorry of consumed with concern about my testicles. I can't even hump George, I'm so worried. And itchy. Itchy and worried is a bad combination. On the plus side I'm getting lots of snacks. Hand fed. Cheese! On a schedule, like every six hours. I hope this continues after I find my testicles....

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... It's going to be a looooong night. Poor Timber got tutored today, but because one testicle didn't descend it required abdominal surgery to find it. So he's drugged up, itchy, owie, without balls, and refuses to wear the cone of shame...he's a pirate, he needs to retain some dignity! Yes, inflatable collar getting overnight, arrives tomorrow. Yes, note to self: train puppies on cones of shame.

via Facebook... Vertigo'd so hard I ended up on my ass in the bathroom. Which was okay, because I could find the pill I dropped and bent over to look for which led to said vertigo dropping me on the floor. Going to spend the day doing online classes, playing video games, napping, and, should the dogs wake up from some serious Sunday slumber, maybe clicking and treating and training. Although they keep telling me to go back to bed so we can dog pile into a nap...
Saturday, June 14, 2014
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... My ear actually hurts. I see my ENT on Tuesday, so I'm trying to hold out until then. Stupid allergies giving me stupid vertigo. On the plus side I can get the Teen to fetch me things. "Oh Teen! I haz a thirst, can you fetch me some fluids? I would get it myself but I might topple over...."
Friday, June 13, 2014
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Kathy, I got home just in time. Vertigo is out. Of. Control. And it's terrible being nauseous and hungry at the same time. Oh well, my dogs needed some extent smuggling and I can use my time to read, make notes, and process everything I learned this past week :)

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Not sleeping. Time to snack. Not because it'll make me sleepy, but because since I'm awake I may as well enjoy something tasty...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Today is the day of Pissing Off Darlene By Being SO BLOODY STUPID That I'm Face-Palming The Back Of My Skull. 1. MRA trying to convince me--you'll love this--that NOT ALL MRAs. Really. 2. Man repeatedly asking, on post detailing how men don't need to take space in feminist spaces, but instead use the privileged spaces they occupy, if I could explain more about that to him because he really needs to understand better in order to actually be a feminist. Also, he took a college course. 3. Woman calling me darling after explaining how sexy shoes lead to being raped... and 4. woman wanting to criminalize certain types of birth to "protect teh babies" even though it's been shown that doing so only discourages women from seeking medical care. Then blocking me when I pointed out that controlling women's bodies is no cause for celebration. Seriously, am I being set up here? On any given day ONE of these would be enough. All four? The interwebz is trying to kill me...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Thoughts for my brother, Brian, who is in the hospital. Kidney biopsy done, waiting for results, likely rejection needing some treatment. You know, I originally asked for a puppy :D

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I am listing right and pinballing off things. Also occasionally grab onto random items to help me stay upright. Misha and Timber seem to just know to stay still for a few moments while my head stops the spinning and the twirling. Good dogs! Brought to you by Plant Porn. Plant Porn: having teh sex in your yard and spewing pollen all around you. Because, deep down, nature hates you.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Awake. Why? Because Timber had an emergency poop situation which requires immediate outside, and Misha then decided to puke up all over the bed. Going to try for more sleeps....
Monday, June 2, 2014
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Eating comfort doughnuts because they totally help with the allergies and vertigo and such....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Up, dinner eaten, tv watched. Put up new and improved hammock, thanks to hardware by R.j. , among with his assistance. Back to bed because the world is spinny and wobbly.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Annnnnnnnnd... Vertigo. Thank you, thank you! I'd take a bow, but I'd likely fall over.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Off to do the PT. I may or may not survive to do food shopping after. Which means I may or may not eat later. We need more delivery in this area :D
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... So. So. So. Tired. Lessons learned: 1. Driving for 15+ hours over the course of a few days is no longer doable. Or, more accurately, is doable but not when mixed with anything else. Like walking, talking, or doing things other than sleep. 2. If I don't stay on top of my allergies my ears get clogged, which gives me the vertigo. It also, I've just learned, will give me the motion sickness while driving. Driving while having the motion sickness is unbelievably horrid. Trust me on this. Moral: Fly more.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... So....biofreeze is awesome. Also awesome? My dad. Who I will be visiting this weekend. So I can meet for lunch around NOVA tomorrow, and maybe eat while the traffic goes away. and I'm going to hit Ikea Sunday on my way home, so anyone wants to shop with me and stop for Swedish meatballs and ligonberry soda, let me know. That you can also help me pack my car with stuff is incidental. Promise :) Trying to remember everyone who lives there....I'll tag you if I think you do :) and i if I've left out anyone, add yourself !

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Notice how I'm not sleeping? About that... Did my first real PT today. Thought it was actually pretty mild. HA! My hips don't lie, they are on FIRE. But not in a good way. And then I'm feeling noshy but I really ate plenty today so I'm busy trying to convince myself I'm not hungry. Which only makes me think about food. More. Sleepover at the capitol. Wish I could have been there. Wanting to know what's happening. And I think I'm going to start a wedding officiant business. Which means I've been buying books and researching it. Sara, you want in on this? We can handle a larger area as a team! And I'm starting new dog trainer training classes next week, and I'm going to visit my daddy this weekend....anyone in NOVA, if you want to meet for lunch on my way up on Friday, let me know! There are so many people I'd love to see! I need a wee fridge under my bedside table. Must make this happen.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Crazy harsh headache. Started as sinus, then set up shop on the right side of my skull, now it's on the left side. And my jaw. Well, I've actually had a good couple of weeks....
Darlene Pineda

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... *deep breath* So it looks like it might get be weeks yet (knock on wood it happens that fast) before insurance does its job and, you know, gets my house repaired. Because having a quarter of my house uninhabitable is so much fun. Talking to them gave me a rage headache. I hate this game of "let's see if she's easily intimidated or ignorant. Let's see if we can not live up to our end of the bargain. It's not like she's been paying us or anything." I promise to not pretend I'm replacing a diamond-encrusted good lamé carpet and you just replace what the hell is broken. Deal? Oh, and if you think you got it easy because the husband isn't here to "handle" things? Because you're talking to the little lady? Oh boy do you have a lot to learn...go on, speak slowly and use small words again. C'mon, I dare you...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... That's it, going to collect bottle caps, walk the Divide, complete some quests...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Big adventures today: Haircut. Explain to insurance company that clean up is swell, thanks, but monies for repair and replacement are also part of the gig and the check number needs to be moved by a decimal point. No, THAT way, goober. Since I have been sucked into project creep, find homes for all the displaced item currently lounging in my room. Anyone local want stuff? I got stuff, and I'm getting sick of the stuff I got. Including some shoes. I'm quickly getting into the "Oh, just take it, I never want to see it again" mood. Remember to never read the comments. Threaten to shut down interwebz as a motivating tool for The Teen to do a chore or three about the house. Remember that I can't actually shut it down, because than how would I talk to you? Appreciate the relationship with my kid, based on empty threats and sarcastic comments :)

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... So...I did the PT. Physical therapy. Great pride. Trainee, so we did ALL THE TESTS, just too practice. And learn. And what did we learn? I'm supposed to tighten my abs a few times a day. And tuck in. No crunches, I'm apparently not ready for any extreme moves like that yet. No lifting anything over ten pounds. NO running. I'm encouraged to walk ten minutes a day. No standing or sitting for more than 30 minutes at a time. I recline to exercise. On the one hand I feel so validated that I was in fact hurting, and hurting badly enough to get me to here, and getting worn out when I tried to push through because my body was damaged, not because I was just a lazy skacker On the other hand I feel slightly pathetic. FFS, most of my cats weigh more than ten pounds. From here to 13.1 seems like a long, long way. I'm embarrassed that my tone is overcooked pasta. My shape is rumpled. Tell me I'm awesome, I will be on this like chrome on a Harley. Matching straight ahead! Soon I will be all the buff and the tone!

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Yeah, I like this one better. "That girl you called a slut in class today. She enjoys sex and has slept with a few people. And that's none of your business. The pregnant girl walking down the street. She had unprotected sex with her boyfriend and got knocked up. And that's none of your business. The boy you called lame. He spends most nights in his room playing video games. And that's none of your goddamn business. That girl you pushed down the other day - wait, what? You go around pushing people down? What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you some kind of savage? Jesus. Anyway, that girl you called fat - she eats whatever the hell she wants to, because it's her body and that's none. Of. Your. Business. The old man you made fun of cause of his ugly scars. Okay. I just - were you raised by wolves? Particularly ill-mannered wolves? Who were also assholes? I don't care if the old man got the scars in WW2 or Korea or from that time his meth pipe blew up in his face. You don't go around making fun of people. This is basic stuff that you learn in kindergarten. You think you know them . Guess what? It doesn't matter if you do or don't. You treat people the way that you would like to be treated. It's not about whether or not someone is going to jump off of a bridge because of your hateful, pricktastic comments, it's that making hateful, pricktastic comments makes you a hateful prick. And if you can't manage to function in society without going around being hateful prick to people, maybe you should go back to the rude asshole wolves who raised you. Sound fair?"
