Slogging away, slogging away

Have you seen the Draw The Line website for reproductive rights? It's pretty great.

This double-holster-style purse is AMAZING.

Body update:
My morning energy levels are low. Super low. Low as in I could lie down right now to take a nap (it's 9:50am). Also, my appetite is minimal in the morning, which makes it difficult to get in any calories because I just don't want to eat anything. It's better in the afternoon (after my 2:00 nap), and I'm tempted to stay up late because I don't feel tired at 9:30/10:00 at night--even though I fall asleep pretty quickly once I lie down.

I'm looking forward to committing time to Intentional Movement in the coming weeks. With KCRF over, I can devote physical energy to things other than just Getting By. It's tough to get the basic stuff (grocery shopping, laundry, meal prep) done in dribs and drabs through the week because one weekend day is spent at KCRF and the other weekend day is spent recovering from KCRF. On the weekends where I don't get my recovery day, just getting through work week is hard. Forget anything domestic. Fatigue is for the birds, guys. BLAH.

Our house needs a new RO filter or a new RO system (if the new filters don't solve the problem). Does anyone here own one that they're happy with? The one we have seems to have issues and I don't know if they're common to RO filters or if we just got a cheap, low-quality brand. Input?

We went the filtered water route instead of the RO and have been quite happy with it. Our first filter system lasted for two years, then the housing cracked along a poor design weekspot - we got better life than most, though, from the Amazon reviews.

We replaced it a few months back with one that _appears_ to be much better designed.

Installation is not too hard, and the water quality is good. Less waste than an RO unit, too.

HELLO THERE, STRANGER!!!

Unfortunately, filtration doesn't remove fluoride, which is a crucial component for me, since I'm not supposed to have fluoride. =(

Yeah, stranger is right. Not often that my head clears the water.

You are spot on about the Flouride, nothing much else to be done, then, other than RO.

Want. I have a Boondock Saints-esque black navy pea-coat that it would go perfectly with.

OMG your icon FTW!

PS: I signed. Glad someone's tracking all this crap for the rest of us.

I got the icon from [livejournal.com profile] tama_grey because she is awesome.

That purse is the tits!
Even better if it concealed a .380, which it appears it very well could. OTOH, the Blaster? Rocks.

Yay for the Draw the Line website too, mucho bueno.

Love you, miss you.

Good for you!

ngl, I want that holster thing. It's awesome.

Dress like a spy and thwart pick pockets. Double win!

I'm totally going to blame you for my Jeremy Renner-as-Hawkeye dream last night.

Because I can.

*dead*

Dammit, Tumblr. Stop making me like him.

(ooh, update, apparently she claims she's 32 and that it's 'all in the hands of AFP and Tumblr now'. LOL.)
