I am going the distance- I'm going for speed!.

I have accomplished the furthest for the swim and on foot but. At the moment I am at 35 miles for the biking. I have decided I will get the 56 mile bike done and settle for that I don't own a bike that I want to use and I don't have time to go rent one and do it so I am biking at the gym. I have 17 more miles to go after the 9 I did tonight.  Mon Tues Wed if I do 6+6+5 I will be done before Pennsic. I will see if I am up to doing more but I have no idea.  But I will have earned to half triathlon tee shirt 👕. 

I still have aquisized Tue and Thu. 

4.8 mile swim,52.4 miles on foot

Agggh. So much on the calendar

 Our Heroine's calendar is kind of insane. 

She has Pennsic creeping up in a week and a few days. 

When She gets back she will be fully out of basement Apt and into storage unit sleeping at Amy's in 3 weeks the fourth week she is driving moving Her Roommate the Side Witch to the Windy City. (I can't imagine broom flying in that wind.)

Baroness war is 11-12-13  as well as the start of STL Renn fair. 

Every weekend will be spent sleeping in STL till OCT 24th.

Our Heroine is talking to her clients about changing her work days to Wed,Thu, Fri. For all of that so she is off 2 days a week in a row. 

Though part of her says why bother not like she has any were to be that 2 days in a row would help.

Also she is shopping for a place to buy. But she has been given the thought not to make that decision till after Ren Fair. Also it will just be more money for larger down payment. 

She has set the Goal for the 1 hr circle in IL around Havana because the Great and Powerful wizard of Aim has her Parent there and so she could either swoop in and get there faster or they can meet up and make the challenge of parent care gentler on her. 

Have had some Apartment buildings pop up in the perfect range and price. The Universe has asked her to hold up and not pull the plug on this just yet. 

Also the Laurel has offered crash space and suggested PA. And the Aprenti' sibling have suggested Ohio. 

A little part of her would like to run away east. But she likes IL for its politics. We convict our politicians not reelect them. But they are saying their states politics aren't that bad. 

There is a Peoria office that handles some of the area up in the greater area and there is a Springfield office that handles some other areas so if she wanted to stay in the homemaker health care field.

However by buying an apartment complex/duplex should be able to replace her job income within a year. 

She also printed 20 game boards today after work.

The Heroine is busy

 Lots of things happened 

Our Heroine bought storage containers for the Wizard Child (who is 35) so her can clear out moving boxes and she can have room in the kitchen again 
She went to the charity place for a new bench for her client to be able to shower safely 
She ordered and received stock of knuckle bones for Pennsic 
She got to wear her new green dress and butterfly hair clip and loves the hair clip so much
She decorated friends at a wedding reception she went to. And it made her very happy 
She did indeed celebrate progress more then pout about set backs. 
She made a corn husk Dolly 
Her spider plant is happy and flowered
When she bought sandals to were with the dress and hair clip she got a bath suit in a buy one get 2 free sale. It is a 2 piece. 
She got dressed and realized the pants she put on are a size small. Her boobs now stick out further then her stomach.

  It has mostly been a good week the other bonus is she got to see her friend Kristan for a 3rd weekend in a row. 

She is purging clothes and packing clothes she can live with out for a while because while staying at Amy's she can't haul them all. 

Sad part is she didn't get to see a male friend she misses.

Why clothes shopping sucks

 Our Heroine hate shopping for clothes and four shoes more than anything because finding clothes that feel good and shoes that fit is difficult. She is already burnt out from shopping going to four different stores trying to find shoes. She simply wants find a pair of black sandals to go with her new green and black dress. Maybe that's the number. One reason why does not like dressing up and trying to be pretty. Luckily she had no trouble picking out a color for her nails and her toes. Got a pedicure. Not a thing she's ever really done before.

Now she is emotionally tired because of the disappointment and energy hoping she could find shoes. 

She kind of wishes she could crawl in bed and just be for a while. 

Alyse she committed to driving a friend to SCA. And also selling her fencing gear. 

The time she might have hiked she spent looking in stores feeling ☹️ disappointed. 

Our Heroine picked up the courtier and headed to meeting. I was happy to hang out with AhzzA and Wiley. She also started selling her fencing gear.

Though many things were crossed off her list today, she's very unpleased with not being able to find nice sandals to wear with her new dress

Figuring out the steps moving forward


 Still working one laps for relaxation 

Trying to get the miles in on the bike and packing up house

And preparing for Pennsic. Thinking of not bringing the camper. It just feels like to daunting of a task. To finish it right now. 

I have 4.77 for swimming am at 21 for biking and 33.5 for on foot. 

I have decided to give myself Grace if I can finish the biking I will aim also for 52. 4 on foot and finish the swimming for the 4.8 and be happy. This will mean I will not only qualify for the half distance shirt. But I am ok with that. I will have done the longest distances for the swim and foot portion.

Considering last Oct I was not even working out. It is all good. 

I will be merchanting at Simple Day which means I can inventory my stuff. And if I want to make anything I can. 

Manifested most of the money I wanted for a down payment to buy a new house. Watch me soar. 🪽 Stay tune for the summer that won't be forgotten. As low as it have ever gotten is as good as it will get. Letting the past be the past and living in the here and now is the greatest gift I have given myself. 

Goals for this week is to make a list of things that need accomplishing. (Better wording then todo list)

I need the weather to cool off down to say 77 for a day like Tuesday so I can go rent a bike and nail the rest of my miles.
