Hump Day Poll: Newsworthy?

source If that brings you warm fuzzies, you're welcome.  If you don't know what the heck that's referring to, then you might be too young to understand most of my references here and should probably brush up !   We are going on year 9 of not having watched the news.  I remember the last time we went to Kauai in 2016 (holy crap, that makes me want to cry) we didn't watch the news once and couldn't believe how much happier we were.  We decided to see how long we could push it and here we are almost a decade later.   It's enough to be inundated on internet sites on the hourly with the latest dumpster fire lit that should have nothing to do with the kind of stuff it's reporting but to voluntarily watch the news just is not something I have in me.  I rarely watch live tv because of the commercials (well more commercials) but I left it on once a few years ago when a show I was watching went live and the news came on right after.  I wasn't watchin...

Quick update

Just a quick update. We still don't have power, over 100 degrees and we have been hanging in. I am a modern day pioneer goddess. I've got 2 words for you...grilled croissants. Yep. I have discovered there is nothing I can't bust out on the grill! I thank you for your thoughts and prayers as we trudge through this. On a health related note, we haven't missed a single workout! They are smaller in scale so we don't croak but still effective and I'm pretty proud of us. I hope to be back to it next week? Fingers crossed. ====================

    You and the Mr. are troopers; hoping for power and some relief on the heat front very, very soon!

    Glad to hear you're still kicking... something. Here's hoping for a return of your power.

    Then that makes you an effin' rock star. I can barely drag myself to the air conditioned rec center. Although, half the time, I think it would be cooler to run outside than on their indoor track.

    I was thinking of you earlier today, and how I hadn't seen anything from you in a while. I thought my Google Reader was acting crazy again until I remembered you didn't have power. Glad you're doing okay. Continue rockin' it!

    No croaking allowed!

    Thanks for checking in and letting us know how you're faring. Here's hoping you're living in air-conditioned splendor soon!

    I hope you get power back soon! Our A/C just went today, but at least we have power. Way to be creative, too!

    You guys are awesome! It sucks that you still don't have power, but I'm so glad you're in good spirits. All my fingers and toes are crossed for power to be restored soon. *HUGS*

    It can't be that much longer, can it? You're certainly making the best of it and I think of you every day, hoping this is over soon!

    As far as the other challenges in your life (I've been reading your SP posts too) I say if it doesn't make your "current situation" (sorry) easier, blow it off and blow it away until you are better able to deal with it. Everything and everybody else can wait. This IS about you these days, you need to preserve your coping skills for your own needs.

    One day, this will be a part of your reminiscences: "Remember back in '12 when it was so hot and our power went out for days?"

    Sending cool energy your way.

    You are a rock star when it comes to doing anything. I am not at all surprised to find out you can make, no grill croissants. I know without a doubt that you and the Mr. will get down to the weight that you have chosen. Do not doubt it one bit. You have helped me to push harder and thus be more successful. Thank you!
