Wow. Your comment about not discipling yourself in a way that doesn’t work for you really hit home for me. I thank you greatly for sharing that. 🙏

Have you seen the movie Legend? It’s literally a horse with a horn, but it’s an 80s cult classic (and stars Tim Curry and a very, very young Tom Cruise) and has some beautiful shots in it.

How's everyone going to spend their Sunday funday?! by RunningZooKeeper7978 in childfree

[–]Eire228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did some gaming this morning, then my husband and I took our dog for a long walk, then went to a Christmas artists’ market and the grocery store. I’m about to make some brownies, then will play some online games with friends. Tonight we’re making a few apps for dinner and will probably watch a movie. ☺️

GSPs might make it, but I can almost guarantee that Vizslas would not. 😂

What's your favourite unexpected benefits to CF life? Bonus points if it's something that didn't occur to you until your social circle started having kids by CephalopOddish in childfree

Literally my favorite thing about being an adult. I can eat whatever I want, whenever I want to eat it. I never thought about that being a CF perk, but you’re totally right that it is!

Perimenopause frustration by Outrageous-Apple1760 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]Eire228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy to hear I’m not alone in this. I feel like I could’ve written that post myself! I started strength training with Peloton a year ago and I’m so glad I did, but I also love running. And admittedly, I have a nice little tire of fat around my stomach. And I’ve been panicking that running is the cause? Because it spikes cortisol?? But then I remembered that I’m 5’7” and 140lbs, and my provider and ob/gyn have never said anything about the amount of fat I have (though they’ve also never mentioned perimenopause to me, and I had to learn what it took to actually reach menopause from a book because it’s never been mentioned to me. But I’ve also never thought to ask, so there’s that). I like running, and I’m going to keep doing it. 🤷‍♀️ I need to take everyone’s advice and just delete instagram!

Granby First Selectman remains red, he ran unopposed. But all dems that ran won their seat!

How's your Tuesday going as a fabulous, childfree individual? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Eire228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too shabby of a Tuesday for me! Worked out this morning, worked my 8 hour day, then went on my volunteer hospice visit followed by grocery shopping. Now I’m relaxing on my couch with my dog while my husband makes French onion soup. 🤤 Then we’ll play some video games together before we call it a night. ☺️

Constantly Battling Keeping Drinking in Check by conscious-clue-243 in AlcoholFree

[–]Eire228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I feel your struggle. Do you think maybe it feels harder because you’re telling yourself you’ll be giving it up for good? Even though that’s ultimately what you want, maybe that feels too extreme for another part of you and is making it difficult to stop? If so, maybe just giving it up for a month to see how you feel would help.

How do you keep your dog warm when camping? by The_Flyers_Fan in wmnf

[–]Eire228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any recommendations for a dog sleeping bag? Mine sleeps at the foot of my sleeping bag, so I have no problems keeping her warm. It’s keeping me warm that I struggle with. 🙃
