The nausea is finally gone and I was able to eat solid food last night! If two baked potatoes count...

I find myself craving some pancakes today, which does not go along with being healthy, but it's definitely better than the "can't eat anything, upset stomach" setting I've had for the past few days. I've made myself the deal that I can stop by Village Inn on the way home from the doctor after picking up my paperwork, so long as I park well away from the entrance and use the stairs. It's only one floor and I've found that I actually do feel better if I'm vertical and moving.

I stopped by Target today and found the Collectors Ponies on an endcap with the Pretty Parlor and some Care Bears. No SSC, sorry Icey. I'll try to check the others later this week. My mobility's a little hampered right now.

That's adorable and such clever marketing!

What are your dream goals?
1. Reach 20% body fat
2. Have a 3D printing side business
3. Practice cello 3x week and feel comfortable playing in public

What can you accomplish in 3 months?
1. Recover from my sprained lower back. Things are going to progress SLOWLY until I'm certain I won't have a relapse. I'm definitely working on cleaning up the diet, since that doesn't take too much physical activity.
2. Practice modeling 30 minutes once a week, working my way up to three times a week and printing a new model every other week
3. Practice cello 30 minutes once a week, not including lessons, working the way up to three times a week by the end of the three months

Buddy System questions
1. Can you handle more than one buddy at this time?
Probably not yet, but I can definitely do one!

For prizes, I can contribute a custom cross stitch pony headshot coaster. I have original patterns for the G4 Mane 6 and can do any of the G1, including Twinkle Eyes. If the winner prefers a different G4, I can do up a pattern, but I'll need a reference image. I'm not as familiar with G4 characters.

I am fine with shipping internationally.

Anyone (help, please?) - If in your hunt for rainbow ponies you come across a SSC Peach Blush, please snag me one. I am having a heck of a time finding her

Icey, do you have the DCPI? I don't mind doll hunting and there are several Targets on my area

I do in-house technical support for a local financial institution. I troubleshoot software issues, hardware issues, and user issues ('what color is the power button on your monitor?' is a question I ask FAR too frequently each week). We build computers, unlock user accounts, switch out hardware, program phones, and teach entirely too many people how to use Outlook functions.

I usually enjoy my job, but the number of repeat questions is starting to drag on me. There are only so many times in 3 years I can show someone how to move icons across their desktop without wanting to hurl my headset across the department with a shriek of rage.

I'd really like to get into the coding side of things, where we write automated scripts and really dig into why things are breaking and how to fix them, but there's no clear-cut path to that job and it's been rough trying to navigate it solo.

I'd love to have a side gig making and selling cross stitch patterns, but I haven't the foggiest how to get started on that.

I asked at 2 different stores, and while they have them, they're not allowed to sell them to me early. The re-stock is supposed to happen Sunday, so I'll likely make a pest of myself Sunday night.

When I picked mine up this evening, I just took the first box. It was slightly smushed and the lady at the register offered to find me a better one. I was mildly amused, because all I'm after is the pony INSIDE the box, but I guess there are people who are sticklers for MIB Hallmark ornaments.

I can't really be that surprised, considering there are people who do the same for ponies.
