_______________________________________
I'm finishing my last two questions out of approx 40, many being written out answers that require a little research and time, for the final exam for ADR. Woohoo. No more classes until January or later. DONE! I AM SUPER HAPPY THAT I AM DONE WITH THE ALTERNATIVE RESOLUTION DISPUTE COURSE!!!! I HAD HAD ENOUGH OF THE TEACHER'S STYLE OF QUESTIONS AND TYPES OF ASSINGMENTS...I FELT THE OTHER CLASS I TOOK, REGULAR PARALEGAL, I LEARNED MORE HOW TO MAKE MY OWN ANALOGIES AND CRITICAL THINKING...THIS ADR CLASS WAS MOSTLY BY ROTE...LIKE JUST FINDING THE QUOTE IN THE BOOK AND RE-WRITING IT FOR ANSWERS, MAKING SURE TO CITE IT. THE WHOLE CLASS WASN'T LIKE THAT - BUT ENOUGH OF THE CLASS TO GET ON MY NERVES! LOL. I DID LEARN SOME THINIGS AND I'M GLAD TO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE IT, BUT IT'S ENDING HAS ME HAPPY! :=D
After that, i'll take a short walk to refill my laundry card DONE!
delve into the PM test prep - app - formulas section..
I did weights yesterday, thankfully, so my day is quite open. I will do leg exercises today DONE!
in addition to some indoor bike/outdoor walking most probably??? DONE!
The lettuce i bought last week was a "lemon" and has spoiled faster than it should - i should look closely at it - see what i can save from it and what should be dumped..
_________________________________________
laundry has been done, cooking doesn't need to be done for another couple days...although i could stand to eat more veggies...
I should use this time to be slightly more active (exercise), not skip days, volunteer, and study for the PM exam.
________________________________________
I contacted the superintendent, he says they are waiting for a contract / deal to come thru before hiring me - he doesn't say what deal or when, so it makes me nervous but i will just be patient bc it seems it will work out in the end.

________________________________________________
I will do upper bod weights in AM....in progress and finishing around noon...DONE
I will finish week 6 reading and all assignments for ADR possibly today for paralegal bc i will be done with the course and not be taking another till possibly late january or even later...so i may just try to finish the course today since i am so close. the reading for the last two chapters was FAR less than the other weeks. ..in progress....lots of questions to answer on the final exam...thinking just to "charge like a bull" tonight and do them...already did a lot of work between 1:30-4pm. ...i have two questions i saved for tomorrow (did like 40 questions today, many of them written-out answers, not mulitple choice. So, i have two more for tomorrow morning because i don't want to think about the assignment anymore. Worked around 6 hours on it today. that's enough.
it's 76F today, my semi-plan is to walk a little outside?, bike a little inside...HOUR walk, nice out. wore a t-shirt and went out at 4pm. little cool bc sun was going down, but didn't get cold with just a tshirt on! DONE
not sure if i'm going to do PM today, but if i do, i'll prob do it while watching a show on TV tonight...formulas section of the app
_________________________________________________________
i didn't do any cardio yesterday or any exercise at all. mostly on the couch, writing and reading, so it's in my interest to exercise (indoors or outdoors for cardio).
One thing I've been thinking about - since you have the time right now - would you be able to prepare a study notebook from your paralegal classes in order to prepare for the court exams? Or is there a study guide for those exams? Food for thought.
I know you guys aren't intent on my exact desires, but, i have emailed myself so i can always remind myself of the dates for the next upcoming possibility of court tests for the positions I would apply for:
________________________________________________________
Hi! Back at home most of today, doing my work on the couch...
8:30am Breakfast: piece of pumpkin pie filling only 200, some kombucha 50
snack: gummy candy...230...(sorta large serving, with sugar, by Sunkist brand).

6pm goldfish crackers, 200 at most, wrap 150, 1/4 of a burger again 100. 450.
1600....
_________________________________________
Yesterday was lots of cardio outdoors. Today, even though weather is REALLY nice, I may opt to stay home to get more things done (easy if you stay home all day!!)....The weather will be nice for several days, so, it just makes it so i can spend some time outdoors tomorrow ;)
________________________________________
I've finished reading ADR chapter 5...now just reading the teacher notes online...then i'm going to answer all the test questions for this week...in progress - took most of the day...DONE
Once i'm done with that activity, i'll shower, HAHA. LOL didn't finish the activity, but took a break to shower. DONE
and/or clean guinea cage? DONE
And/or Laundry also, but thinking to save it for tomororw as the laundry room should be emptier tomorrow than on a weekend...so yeah, i'll leave laundry out of the picture OR do it TONIGHT.Laundry DONE
I should do weights today...i'll make my final decision on if i do them today or tomorrow by later today...most prob doing them today...
for the PM test, i'm now looking at the formulas section, writing them out from the app all on one page to lookover, it could take more than a day, there's MANY formulas...in progress now...
taking some time off cardio today....yesterday almost did 5mi...so, i don't feel bad at all staying inside most of today...may change my mind much later...it's so warm out, maybe 75F!?
__________________________________________
Tomorrow:
upper body weights - AFTER BREAKFAST, before showering.
cardio to do (bike ride??) use my stepper and indoor bike? small outdoor stroll?
writing out of PM formulas...try to write most of them all at once....see where i am at afterwards...see how long it takes just to write them all out...
reading of the final chapter? - at least a partial read?
text superintendent - after lunch?, if he doesn't call me first.
_____________________________________________
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I'm hoping to do leg weights today, but I might wait until Monday. I usually have no problem motivating myself to do leg weights. Upper body is a different story.
I read your ordeal with the planned walk yesterday. I'm so sorry that didn't work out. Getting lost sounds like something that would entirely happen to me. Then I'd be kicking myself, Why didn't I research that better? DOH! At least you made the best of the situation by hanging out with your parents - and still getting a great walk in, too! I think it's a lovely idea to try to find the location on Monday. It will bring you a feeling of satisfaction and closure.
i could have DEFINITELY avoided getting lost if i looked further at the map and found the exact cross streets / way to get into the park.
There may be more court job openings if there is more litigation: foreclosure, evictions, debt collecting, divorce...
Happy Saturday -
oats and a banana and almond milk 350, later kombucha 50
during walk: walk didn't happen oh well !
snack while driving back to parents around 11am chocolate 100
...lunch:550 healthy soup (lentil and veggie), with a slice of american cheese that melted into it on top (my idea), chips.
chocolate 50, apple 100, beer 50. 200
dinner also with parents (all day adventure with them, unplanned) 900 or so, healthy salad, with some oil, and a cheeseburger and side of baked beans. so there you go! lol
2150...back at home small type of a somewhat-energy drink but not as high caffeine...want to do work back at home - reading - it's 8pm...FINISHED SHORT CH 5 - DONE!
2300.
______________________________________________________
today I've signed up for a walk that's around 15min away so I'm doing that around 10am....GOSH SO UPSTET I COULDN'T FIND THE AREA OF THE PARK WE WERE MEETING...I REALLY COULDN'T FIND IT...COULDN'T EVEN FIND THE PARKING AREA! AHH WELL. MAY GO BACK ON MONDAY WHEN I'M NOT BUSY TO FIND THE SPOT SO I KNOW FOR THE FUTURE.
before the walk, I'm on my couch in an attempt to completely finish the shorter chapter 5 of the textbook so that I can read the online notes and then answer the questions - maybe get it all done today, not sure...nope, only got thru half the chapter before the walk... :(..finishing my reading tonight once i get home back to my apt....
i also want to do some laundry since while volunteering I got some kind of stain that needs to come out of my clothes
and of course, I am beyond the Tips section in the PM app and I will finally focus on the math formulas section - I will start by writing the formulas out on loose leaf paper by hand as a way to study them....so that's the PM project of the day...and i also plan to keep that paper very handy...at all times...jusst started, while at parents i used my phone app, NOT ENOUGH. but that's it for today.
Ricky the pig !
well I got really really lost even with the gps to find the part of the park I needed to go to. So lost I totally missed the walk / stopped looking and called parents to see if they want to walk so then I drove to their house and we'll have lunch and walk Lol. Sucks I missed the $15 walk - maybe tomorrow I'll find out where it was supposed to take place.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
Try white vinegar for the stain. I know, right?
I hope you had a lovely walk - that sounds like such a nice idea. I wish we had something like that around here.
thank you, Maria.
8am breakfast pumpkin pie filling 300, kombucha 50...later chocolate 70...420
11am light lunch/meal white torrtilla 150with a tuna flavored thai chili 50 ...200
great, active volunteering, good exercise....4 hours of mostly working with ripping boxes apart, cutting them apart, lifting milk, lifting other boxes, and assisting/assigning duties as needed! if i want i could be a leader, but because of my sorta wacky and unknown work schedule, i will not take that type of responsibility up...i'll leave it for the "kids" that are 25-30 that like to assume this type of responsibility.
5:45pm dinnier lots of warm veggies, on sale $2, supermarket, 200, tofu 100, gummies 150...450
more gummies (i will not lie, when my calories have been low, i tend to indulge, hopefully i don't become a diabietic earlier because of it all!) 100
blueberries 100
1300....
This morning I did weights upper and leg strength exercises. Glad they are done for now !
_______________________________________
off to volunteer for 4 hours in afternoon, plus time travel to get there and back...will use bus/train for sure....or possibly my car/train....i realize i may be able to drive myself partially and i might...reason i will not drive the full way is very tight parking situation where the volunteering is taking place and i don't want to deal with the potential of not getting a spot without aggrivation / long time looking
i was emailed that they provide volunteers lunch, but i ate a little something anyways as it's not smart to rely fully on the unknown...and i was quite hungry....so i got some protein and carbs in so i'm satisfied for the commute...!!
Yes, i've decided to drive half, park where there is parking, and take the train the rest of the way....saves some time this way....and because i am in my car coming home, i may be able to stop somewhere if i want to...probably not though!
_________________________________________
This is Frankie, my slightly bigger pig. I'll post my pig Ricky either later or in a future post ! sorry about my crazy house clothes. they are quite "colorful." i just don't see the point to buy fleeces that are more natural colors and buy all new clothes...to wear inside my apt. i'm not that rich to just throw out good clothes that i wear inside (and when going inside apt down to do laundry....so some people do see me in these outfits...) but i'm still not purchasing new clothes. other folks also dress sorta funny when just doing laundry or taking down recycleables to the garbage area on the first floor. if i were never, ever, into saving money or caring at all...well then i'd change the fleeces and get rid of the green and pink ones...but i'm not in that mindset! :)
And this is my more fiesty Ricky:
when i first got them, they were NOT eager to be held, but, that is WHY i got them....so i wasn't gonna let it go any other way!!!!haha....
but also, they didn't really bite even then.
I volunteered the second shift from 12:30-4:30 and it was great exercise. At first, i wasn't going to get exercise and just needed to stand in place and direct a line and i was grateful that i was able to change my position quite quickly. it was a great workout.
since i arrived at the start of the shift, i didn't take part in the food that they offered, but it was looking really, really good. multiple salads, chicken dishes, fish dishes...etc, all cooked up in the school's kitchen where it was taking place. everyone was eating inside and it wasn't my cup of tea anyways, but the real reason i didn't eat is that i got there just in the nick of time to start my shift, and i had just had lunch anyways.
i'm not sure i'd feel so safe to eat that food...indoors and around so many people not wearing a mask.
I'll say it again - your piggies are too cute!
9am breakfast: found this single serving mini cheesecake in my supermarket (i had been seeing it on amazon and couldn't believe it was being sold in my supermarket). no crust on it. so, a mini marble cheesecake (small!) for 260 calories. with my pumpkin pie filling also 200 cal. and a black coffee.
kombucha 40
1pm lunch: a leftover, tasty, fried fish patty 200? on a wrap 150, with tortilla chips 250. 600.
snack blueberries 100
dinner popcorn, tofu with garlic 250
1450
________________________________________________________
I was supposed to volunteer today but got a text this AM that it's cancelled which is fine. makes more time for me to lift weights and do my work. I have signed up instead to do an afternoon volunteer session tomorrow. i'll need to take public transportation unless i want a lot of trouble parking tomorrow.
...and Saturday i've signed up for a really nice walk that is lead by a nature leader (i cancelled the long volunteering i originally signed up for on Saturday when the nature walk leader told me she did in fact have a spot for me!) I had to pay $15 for the walk, but i expect to learn something and get great exercise, so it was worth it to me.
_________________________________________________________
I was able to finish all of Week #4 work for my class tomorrow YESTERDAY I MEAN! So, i looked into how much reading both weeks 5&6 are and they are significantly LESS! i may be able to finish the course by Sunday! There is no 7th week course material, i have realized....so it ends after completion of week 6...
_______________________________________________________
Before doing much today, i'm going to be studying my PMP app....i didn't do it last night as planned, so i will spend a little more time on it today...
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
8am breakfast - crustlesss pumpkin pie. tasty. and surpringly i didn't want to eat the whole thing (i actually could stop at a decent amount - i guess it has a lot of fiber). 350, iced coffee 50.
oh yeah....i had almond butter 200 (forgot to add this in earlier...)
gummy worms, kombucha 150
6pm light meal: salad, finally!, of a whole skinny carrot 30?, lettuce 25?, and some small grape tomatoes 25?...with olive oil and seasonings 100. 200, pepperidge farm parmesean crackers 250 (almost 2 servings.) ....450, some pumpkin pie filling 200.
2050..may have another high cal day...?
DARRRRN...lost the photos of the bunny...will need to reload off my phone later! it's my own fault bc i had the DD diary entry open in my computer so when i pressed submit when i got home, i lost the photos...my fault.
walked by a pet store with parents and I went in for a minute to see the guinea pigs and bunny rabbits and he had so many of each!
___________________________________________________
doing some work, then off to parents to walk for the morning, then back home i think...DONE
did a couple errands on way home from parents DONE
I was able to finish the simpler of the two assignments due for week 4 in only a half hour...that's good....and i finished the longer assignment (with a little too many breaks i think) tonight. so, week 4 is DONE
i KNOW i need to spend time on the PM class...and probably i can start reading chapter 5 in my textbook already...working on this at 8:30pm....in progress
and yes, i don't think i've felt too many things softer than bunny fur!
i will tell you, if you hold off till Thanksgiving, it will taste even better!
Breakfast: oats and raisins, almond milk and kombucha. 350...
snack: 2 cookies with whipped pb on top. 200, coffee? 50
1pm low carb bagel just ok 100cal, 3 servings whipped cream cheese 250, small piece lox 50, tortilla chips 250...650
2pm candies 150
3:30 during exercises tiny clementines 50
..snacky/"hangry" day over here!
5:30pm one of those small strawberry on the side and cheesecake filling things sold near the cheese/yogurt section i think it was? at the supermarket. ahhh, good! 200 cal. still, not as good as a cheesecake!..so i will prob not buy them again, it came in a pack of 2.spiked drink, only a little bit. 50.
7:30pm dinner: leftovers of the entire 2 heads of broccoli i cooked (i guess i ate a small head to myself yesterday and today!?) of the broccoli in garlic sauce (not bad) 150? and tofu 50. 200 here....and a white wrap 150.
8:30pm gummy worms to end night. with sugar. lol.
and my pumpkin pie without the crust is in the oven, hopefully it doesn't burn.
2250...
____________________________________________
I was tempted to buy a cheesecake, which i will do probably in a week or so, since it was rather a good size (5 slices worth)....and was tempted to buy another pumpkin pie..because it was also a smaller one with 5 slices...but instead....i will make my own pumpkin part of the pumpkin pie (no crust)...going to use a recipe for the pumpkin filling in a pumpkin pie either today or tomorrow..i cannot wait to dig into it!
__________________________________________
And we've made it, finally, to election day! ha! Wishing for nothing crazy and peace!
It's still a little cold here, i may stay home the entire day for reading, studying...will update. Maybe a walk tonight, but, i have my inside equipment. Already was on bike during phone call for around 30min at least...in progress..and did some walking also, not much, like 20 min tops. DONE
I'm still reading the alt. dispute textbook and when i say it takes forever to read, i mean that! a lot of this chapter, arbitration, is on opinions and reviews of court cases on whether or not to arbitrate and what the results were so it's a little heavier readying right now because the cases started in trial court and keep getting overturned and changed in opinion as they go up thru the courts and it's not always the same decision...it's a lot of repetitiveness as well as back and forth on ideas...somewhat of a confusing chapter. (but it makes sense, it's just very detailed and specific per case, unlike any of the other 3 chapters preceeding it!) and also, some parts of the case become arbitratable but other parts of the case need to go to court...pretty serious stuff here! Lots of precedents and early cases which decide how later cases will be managed...!..Reading textbook is DONE!
with the ADR reading of chapter 4, i'm now on my third day of reading (been reading the 80 pages and also need to read the online pages) before answering questions. i have a goal to be DONE reading by tomorrow so that i can finish Week #4 reading & questions by Thursday, latest!..(will start the questions tomorrow and hope to finish them tomorrow also if i can...)
...ok BLEW THRU the rest of chapter 4 reading....and 80 pages are DONE by 2:45pm!...now need to read the online materials...online reading is also DONE!
I also have a plan to do my weights this afternoon / evening....3pm weights now!...in progress! DONE!
______________________________________________________________
PMP needs to be studied too, yesterday i did it in the morning only...i could def use more studying time on it today..with the app..still in Tips...I will move on from tips by the end of this week...later
_____________________________________________________________
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I as actually mailed a check for severence pay from the job i haven't been working at for several months now. it was for a week of pay, i think? but lots of taxes taken out so i am only seeing partial of what the real grand total was. they paid me, as the check says, for a week, 10/22-10/28. So i guess i will not collect unemployment in lieu of the check for this particular week (i believe you cannot collect both, duh!)...and the check is def the MUCH better option ;)
breakfast 8am: oats and raisins 300 with almond milk 50, and some coffee to finish later 50. 400.
snacks: none!
lunch: just before noon - a low carb bagel (they are OK, not great) 100 cal (that's great!) with my fave whipped cream cheese and extra extra of it 200cal, and a small amount of lox 50. 350...and i think chips?..pepperidge farm chessmen 160..510
gummies 60, some kombucha 50
5:30 ate a LOT of my broccoli that i cooked up in an asian recipe i found for Broccoli in garlic sauce. it was a little light on flavor, maybe bc i prob used more broccoli than the recipe called for so the sauce tasted lighter when not increasing the sauce recipe and only the broccoli. but it was good, not bad! so that's a start! 230 cals for lots of broccoli in garlic sauce :) followed by a large cup of blueberries that are actually perfectly fresh and were on sale...maybe i go back for more later this week bc i have a dispute on the price of...kombucha! ha 100
had some of a sparkling drink earlier 50, and a granola bar 120...maybe i should have some fat/protein whipped pb also, yeah 100. and pumpkin yogurt 150 :)
1800...
________________________________________________________
Now that the clocks are shifted (fall back), i was up a tad earlier and boyyyy did it feel good to see 7:30am on the clock and the sun warming me while i lay in bed!
I did some studying of the PM app before leaving at 9am to drive to volunteer. Parking was a little poor around there, i had to pay $2 to the meter for two hours parking...but it's so close the drive was only around 15-20 min and the bus would have been an hour (that's the reason i didn't take a bus today!)....still in progress studying...
The volunteering was fast, just 2 hours, so i was back home just before noon and in time for lunch and to study / read my class textbook for paralegal on the couch. It's freezing (high 30's only!) and windy today (with sun!) so i'll be staying inside for the rest of today. It's too chilly and windy to want to spend any time outdoors. It will be in 60's later this week, though! DONE
more studying of PMP tonight, no matter what (i did some this AM, like 20min worth):
I think i'm going to have to force some cardio, i'll do a half hour on the bike, while watching tv later tonight:
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
See GT is biggest company, but Coors and Pepsi have their own out. Wonder if the Coors is higher in alcohol contesnt.
also, yeah, $3 is def a decent price.
you can stick with half a bottle, that will also save you money...a serving is in fact half a bottle.
sometimes they really don't pay attention when they are measuring height or weight...it's like it's whatever they choose the number to be! i've had them take lbs off for clothing too! haha
9am breakfast: a mini pumpkin pie. it was great, but, too much crust. It had the crust on top which makes it too rich for my liking. I like the pumpkin in the pumpkin pie! I want to taste that more! anyways, it was good, it was by The Bakery. It's a very cheap brand that makes great mini pies that are sold in the bakery section of supermarkets. I think the calories are inaccurate...anyways, i had that and a small coffee. total cals 450. I will go out walking soon, before the rain rolls in.
11:45 snack after hour walk, probably around 3 miles. def felt it after not walking for days over here! :) candy, haribo berries. 2 servings just about 200. and some of my light alcoholic rose beverage. 250 total.
1:30pm lunch: bought these low carb bagels (will eat them, they are OK!, but will prob not buy again..) i think i am no longer into keto at all! anyways, each bagel is a low 100 cals for a regular size bagel! cool! (due to very fibrous ingredients and puffy wheat gluten), with ample cream cheese to make it taste good 160, and small piece of salmon (little dry and not fresh tasting ugh!) 50. 310...and popcorn 200. 510..and some kombucha 50
4:30pm snack cookies 140
6pm dinner: some roasted squash, not much, 100?, leftover wanton soup with 3 wantons that i bought all the way last Monday haha..it seems i made good use of the soup, at least. (veggie dish was disgusting). 350? 450 total...not full or satisfied. i'll just relax for a bit though, it's so early still...
1850.
2050 total
______________________________________________________
Thanks again to Donkey who let me know that the CTRL F works for word documents...she helped me greatly yesterday find the Einstein answer.
Hi! Happy November! All Saints Day, I believe!? ...I will write more later, just getting started. Daylight savings time makes it 9am, not 10am. I def took my time getting out of bed but i'm SO HAPPY that we have the extra hour. I will try to GET UP EARLIER with the extra hour added...this would help me when i go back to work to get up early...
I am not going to the Farm today, skipping the last day today, because it's supposed to rain like 100% of the time I would be there. No need to get sick working in the cold rain...So, instead, I have extra time to do weights today as well as get outside to walk during the morning when it is NOT raining. I haven't walked outside in days due to constant rain.
______________________________________________________
Hour Walk to get to a park, then Outside the perimeter of the park that is very large, then back home. :) a good 3 miles which i haven't done in awhile! DONE
The rain is rolling in, so i'll be home for the rest of today, for sure. DONE!!!!!!!!
I'm online studying Week #4 online notes for my ADR dispute resolution course. I will not be doing written work for the course just yet because i have the online reading to do as well as 80 pages of textbook to read...in progress - decided to read textbook first, not online notes..i want to see how much of chapter 4 i can finish today. The faster i finish my reading, the faster i can answer the week 4 assignments.
I will continue to use my phone app to study the PM test, the section i'm on is stil TIPS bc it's a long section...later ronight...
Weights in PM...starting now at 3pm in progress...
Nice quiet day, friend called me,mostly with some questions / asking for my input, but i didn't stay on phone long.
I'm enjoying the quiet day all to myself.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
____________________________________________________
Tomorrow I have an "easier" volunteer session to do. It's only 2 hours so that leaves me more of the day to be productive with my "own matters." of which i'm sure will be relatively the same as today's matters! ha! all good things.
___________________________________________________
there's one paralegal job i'm going to apply for after my weights session and before today's end...it's the Queens, NY (my county) District Attorney's office - hiring paralegals. I will def apply to that, although i think i am 90% going to be back working for a union company by December.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
Yes, today is All Saints' Day - normally a day of Holy Obligation, but since it's on a Sunday, regular Mass takes care of that, because Mass is an Obligation in itself.
Probably a good idea to rearrange your farm schedule, if you are expected to get rain today.
thanks again for your help on my assignment(S)!!!
My sister is catholic and the archdiocese where she lives asked if there were any who died of Covid that they would add prayers for. So she added my son.
Not a fan of pumpkin pie (love pumpkin bread, or boiled pumpkin) but always loved my granny's apple or cherry pies.
i just love pumpkin pie. especially the filling. i'll have to make some of it myself ...maybe this week??
next, the einstein answer was soooo not necessary to ask for a test question! it's rather minor in comparison to just about anything else i read on mediation. Def an example of a teacher giving her student's a "needle in a haystack" question! ugh!
pumpkin pie is a fave of mine too. never tried a sweet potato pie and i'm tempted.
There's an "original" flavor by GT's that is Good. that's the most basic one around, tastes like a slightly sweet beer. very low calorie also. 30 cal per cup or so. the other flavor by them that's been good since it came out is Trilogy flavor. It looks like a pinkish flavor and very strong bite flavor, a tad sweet. just an overall great flavor, acquired taste. being that you manage to drink pickle juice, i'm guessing you would have the acquired taste buds to enjoy most kombucha flavors.
the only flavors i can't do are the big ginger/gingerade and related flavors as well as "hot" or spicy flavors. i like that the drink is sweet and don't care to make it too gingery, spicy or hot...
there are other brands, if you see them, so feel free to ask.
it's a probiotic so you don't want to drink more than half a bottle up to a bottle. you may want to start with half a bottle bc it could have TOO MUCH of a diarhetic effect and your body needs time, sometimes, to get used to it.
i like drinking them first thing in the morning (when i was working) instead of food and then i'd eat when i eventually got to work (2 hours later).
now that i'm home, i don't drink them as often. they are quite expensive. but i haven't dropped them altogether.
i'm thinking to have lemon water in the mornings instead of kombucha. that's a money-saver possibility for me, that i sweeten with stevia!
haha, thanks for asking! love spreading my "experience expertise!"
I could use some diarrhea! Lol. Chronically constipated. Only ok if I work out for hours. Then I poop like a normal person.
Have you ever brewed your own? I saw a few recipes. Reminds me of when I had sour dough starter in the fridge for years.
Will try the ones you like & may consider making some further down the road.
I will continue looking into kombucha today. Thanks again.

Congrats on the future job!
You're an exercise machine!
future job isn't a sure thing as much as i'd like to say it is...meaning i do not know of a start date...fingers crossed.

You mean all the courses are over until January? You’ve been working intensively. A little down time sounds well deserved to me!
Yes no more classes to January or later, depending how I feel. I have to study now for a n international test - not sure if I will pass it even if I study but I’ll try to push myself more to study. The test will be sometime in early December and I may take it 2x

You did really well, getting so much done! I'm sorry to hear that the ADR class wasn't as rewarding as your other paralegal classes. Not the subject matter but the way it was taught. But you finished it! Do you think you'll miss not having paralegal stuff not to study?
Yes I will! But I should try to use this last bit of time to move around / keep exercising and also for the PM test that we all know I procrastinate studying for ..... ;)
