Finally finished moving. 500$ a month, which is awesome since I didn’t think i would find something affordable without moving somewhere beyond sketchy. It’s across the street from a mall, library, and a few eating places. Bit run down but the cops are always there, and maybe 20 mins from downtown and the park. I had to bounce back and forth from working, school, and moving, but I’m back now.
So my husband just looked at me and said: “your call. You can work or not, this place is cheap enough for me to cover the bills”. So I’ll see. If my GM doesn’t move me to weekends, I’ll probably pick up driving Uber to make some pocket change, and that’ll be that.

Last rep was very Grindy so I didn’t count it. I also tweaked whatever muscle lies underneath the shoulder blades so I just finished with pushups and went home.
I’ve mostly been swimming for a bit. I’ve more or less took a break from lifting due to stress. I don’t particularly feel stressed emotionally, but my body is telling me otherwise. Can’t seem to shake these frequent headaches, and feeling lethargic despite eating regularly and keeping myself at 3-3,100 calories, but I do realize I’m significantly more busy now that I’ve moved out. Which isn’t bad, but I’m doing my well being a favor and chilling. More or less waiting to be put into Limited Part Time so I can rearrange my school schedule for next semester and actually train consistently. Will hop back on soon enough.
Everything felt really good. Rather sore today, but it’s expected. I feel recharged, looking noticeably leaner, and feeling stronger, lot less stress now that I’m completely moved in, and have all my fianances situated. Still no word from my job, but I’m remaining patient. School is going good too. Guess I just had to give myself a breather.
I’m sorry you had to go through that, I have to read through the rest of your thread now, I hope I read that the move went well and life is good. Keep fighting the good fight.
Oh yea, we’ve been in the new place for almost 4ish weeks.
We didn’t really have any furniture, so I got to start off fresh and ordered new furniture, it’s small, but I love it. I have pictures if you wanna see the layout.
And unfortunately racism is still very alive and well. But then again, that’s humanity. Also I guess it’s a lack of understanding. I sometimes think people in general assume people of different ethnicities are from completely different planets or something. We all originated smack dab, right here on the same floating rock.
I told myself this once, and I’m a bit surprised I forgot about it, but skin color differences are a mere simple melanin distribution, equally dependent on adaptation to the sun, that’s simply passed along genetically. That’s it. That’s what people can’t seem to get passed. Some people moved up north where it’s cold, some time ago, or in mountainous regions where the sun wasn’t as harsh, some lived near the equator where the sun is constantly beaming down. Boop. There ya have it.
At the end of the day, love is love. Love holds absolutely no regards for the color of ones skin. You just love who you love. Period. I’ve come to accept that the people that have something to say, or are concerned with my marriage in a negative way, that’s their problem. I get to come home to bear hugs and kisses in the afternoon. So I’m gonna focus on that lol.
But thank you for checking in. I really appreciate that.
May I suggest you make a long term plan that involves moving where people don’t mind different colored couples? Like anywhere north, east or west? Then you can fly home and visit your backwards hometown with your two-dozen healthy and perfect tan babies.
