I am in pain from hitting the gym again after an eternity. I did some cardio, stretching, and weight lifting. I feel like the wind has been knocked out of me! But I need to control my diet and get my body back to the way it was last year (or was it 2 years ago now -- haha). It was a rude wake-up call to not be able to fit comfortably into the summer dresses from last year, and the brand sports bras I bought fit snug. Sigh!
What's new? Um, I'm applying to a new position at work. I have to write a cover letter and spruce up my resume. Which I should have done today, but I ended up sleeping in at Bruno's house until two in the afternoon. There's always tomorrow, heh.
I've been working on my tan like I do every summer. And um, I planted some bright red gerbera daisies in our front yard. I hope they survive. And um, that's all for now!

Idle Status
Been playing a lot of Fire Emblem Heroes, as usual. I truly love Fire Emblem as a franchise and vividly remember sitting in the hallways at lunchtime when I was in elementary school, plugging away at FE8: Sacred Stones on my Gameboy Advance. I was around thirteen years old then.
Now, at twenty-seven, I still love the characters more than ever. And I've been thinking about whether or not to 5* Naesala, the raven king. I do like him, but I'm unsure of how much I like him. I've saved up 200k hero feathers, and occasionally spend them on merging units that I'm working on (cough, L'Arachel, and Olivia - haha).
The top characters I use in FEH are:
Celica - This nuclear princess wrecks everything with her destructive Ragnarok build! And she's gorgeous to boot!
Nowi - I decided to +10 her as +ATK -HP, and she's my best distant defence unit.
P!Azura - Her personal weapon's effect and her colour typing makes her a great support, coupled with Wings of Mercy 3/Drive Res 2/Drive Def 2.
Fallen Robin (M) - I normally dislike armoured units because of their movement limitation, but because I was blessed with a perfect IV +ATK -HP Grima, I invested in him and he's quickly become a team staple. My impatience is curbed by the Armoured Boots seal, although that slot could be utilized better with another seal.
Summer!Takumi - His summer attire and firesweep bow are a match made in heaven. The kinshi is the cherry on top.
NY!Azura - A refresher with access to flier buffs - 'nuff said!
Runner up: Adrift Corrin (M), which is basically a weaker Nowi sub in chain challenges. (Harem pants, harem pants! Drea~am prince~!)
I have to say, Summer!Takumi with Firesweep Bow+ and flier buffs absolutely destroys opponents. I don't regret sacrificing my merged, perfect IV Innes to him, since I had long ago foddered Faye to Innes. I rarely used Innes, and do have other copies of him, but it was a sacrifice that had to be done for the greater good. Sometimes life is about making those difficult choices! 😂

Quietness
Here I sit, drinking coffee made from a french press. I've just finished reading "Passion & Purity" by Elisabeth Elliot, and the book has left me pondering about a great many things - precisely, things that concern my walk with God.
My home church, Tenth Church in Mount Pleasant, has been a place God called me to. I am fortunate enough to serve on the children's ministry, and I feel that is a great blessing. I'm also on the connections team as an usher but I don't enjoy that position as much, even though I will do what I am called to do. Recently I met a group of lovely girls from church and bonded closely with one of them. It's funny how life turns out speckled with signs from God when one is a believer.
But I digress. I feel a calling for me to start writing again, and to start being less fearful. I'll see how well I can abide.
