IRON WEEK

<< < (13/23) > >>

David_Dovey:
EVERYBODY DO THAT cos seriously I'm sick of people whining about not having done their homework in the blog thread.

RedLion:
I'm already kind of dropping the ball on that one.

But really, I have no interest in writing a paper about the Armenian 'genocide' and the Turks' refusal to come to terms with it as an example of "collective national amnesia." I mean, I chose the topic. But now that I'm halfway through the required length of the paper, I'm just like "eh...fuck it."

Inlander:
I finally made an appointment at a dentist today! And I didn't even realise it was Iron Week. I did it while on the way back from getting gelati. SUGAR 1-1 DENTISTRY.

However this week looks like it's not going to be Iron Week for me so much as FUCK YOU MOTHER NATURE IT'S NOT EVEN SUMMER YET week.

Barmymoo:
My Iron Week went a bit wrong because I didn't get to bed by eleven last night, since I had no duvet (the cat had urinated on it) so I had to find another. However, I have been making a real effort to stop jokingly insulting my friends and one of them has been reminding me every time I say something that could be taken as mean. She said that although she is never offended and knows I don't mean it, she will remind me "what was your second resolution?" to help me. I'm glad; I think I insult people too readily and one day I will genuinely upset someone without meaning to.

The using my time effectively thing is starting now! I am going to work for at least an hour after I eat.

Slick:
I'm being sort of balls at this so far. I kept expecting that my knees would be better as soon as someone waved some magic medicine at them, but no, they're not. Due to pain and discomfort, I haven't been to my classes, but since I'm not going to be better immediately, I have to get a working plan going for how I am going to do things.
Basically there are actual cripples out there who can not walk ever and presumably I will be able to comfortably walk again in the future, so I should be able to suss out how to wash dishes and cook food with sore legs. I should not be using my pain as a crutch to avoid work. I think it goes back to a tendency I have, like others, to get into this mode where pity is expected for the infirm. It's nice to have an excuse not to do things and to have people pay attention to me and be nice to me, but really, I'd rather be able to go for long bike rides to nowhere.
So I'm not being Iron at all, I'm just letting myself think an injury means I'm special.
Injured deer get eaten, injured wolves starve. Gotta keep up.

IRON WEEK means not letting yourself let you down.
IRON WEEK is doing no less than you can when you have problems.
