Fell off the wagon, big time.
Haven’t been following the program for a couple of weeks. It was so much easier to stick to during Lent (when I was sticking to my “no sweets” deal.)
For some reason the Lenten vow seemed to encourage my sticking to the situp routine…?
I’m thinking about giving up sweets again ‘til…say, the end of the NHL playoffs, and maybe that will help.
Makes sense to me, anyway.
Just gotta stick to it.

How I did it: Studied for three days Called & made an appointment Went in & started the test Racked my brain for an hour Leveled-up YAY!!!!!!!! Now I can skip "Intermediate Algebra" and go right into "PreCalculus." My new score put me only 5 points away from the next level...should I retest again? I don't remember much of the PreCalc concepts I learned in high school. Why did I wait so long? Maybe it would be… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I've been able to keep it clean for about a year now, but I've realized that I seem to have caught "pile stuff on-top-of empty spaces-itis" from my parents. At least that stuff consists of clean, folded clothes and school papers...So, now I must make an effort of keeping the room tidy.I should donate old clothes to charity, so I can fit all of my clothes in my dressers. Read how I did it…
Got caught in the rain today. Went out for a ride to clear my mind and wound up-
not being able to see where I was going,
on a dirt road full of pot holes,
came home with my clothes 5 lbs heavier
and plastered to my arms and legs,
with a mud stripe clear up my backside.
Was quite liberating, nonetheless.
Failed.
Mum & I left a couple of pennies on the track by work.
Went to pick her up and found that pennies were falling off the rail.
2nd attempt
will include scotch tape.
