Sounds frustrating. Clearly, nothing is free at Goodwill and most often, everything is labeled with a sticker/tag.
If things were for free? Most people would be there clearing shelves with the amount of excess people want.

@Purpsy:
I hope you have/had a lovely birthday and I hope you have a great day ahead.
I was born in July and live in Northern Hemisphere so it's usually too hot to do anything.
However, last year, I sat with my husband & in-laws (not many friends here) eating noms.

@Pelontrix:
I was, according to Elementary school records (and my mom)?
I was the one who always wanted to make friends, but, was a loner a bit.
I am wondering if my ADHD pushed a lot of people away with how hyper I was.
Now as an adult I am working through getting diagnosed with other things.
I always identified with being introverted, but, as an adult? I can be ambivert (either or).
I just lose battery charge (life's battery that is) super quickly. I don't put myself first. ^__^;
(More than anything, that is something I am working on). A pleasure to meet you by the way! :3

@Ruby:
Agreed! It's such a good way to word it as well. ^__^
My promised update!
So, I used up all my appointments and the TL;DR is, "You know what you're doing."
So, my dietician was telling me that it seems like I know what I need to do to lose this weight, it was a bit stressful to hear that and it didn't help me at all because he didn't really give me too much advice. He also said, "I hate to say this, but, we've spent 5 hours talking which I am only meant to give you 3 and I won't speak about that to your insurance, but, if you need help further down the road, I can do my best to help you, it just seems like you do know what you're doing and all you need to do is implement working out more. Let's set you up for another appointment if you want, also, I recommend talking to your insurance to see if they could cover our meetings."
I appreciate so much that he told me the stretches I did the other morning (10+ minutes) was a great first start and that I am doing a lot better than when he met me. He also said it's good to hear I am going to be seeing a psychiatrist (which did make me uncomfortable, but, that is another thing in itself and a therapist once the waiting list is shorter and they can get me in.
So, going forward?
I am going to start working my way up from working out once a week 5-10 minutes to twice a week 10-15 minutes, by the end of April I really hope that I am doing at least 3 or 4 days a week and doing minimum of 15 and maximum of 30. I know there are other times I will be doing other workouts (bowling, walking, etc) and he said to me that the movement I do now is more than I have in past, so it's time to buckle down and get serious about taking care of myself. I am nervous about it, but, very excited about going forward.

@Alorrena:
Yea, I feel that. The pandemic made a lot of things more difficult as I've been trying to go outside more.
Once lockdown happened here, we were told to keep our distance if we go outside. So I just walked around the block.
It's silly because, I just started to get used to going outside more and spend time with my husband, travel, etc. D:

@Alorrena:
I have not, I have to stay here for 5 years as I am on a 5-year residence permit.
Also, I moved here at the end of 2019, my permit was approved February 2020.
A week after I was approved to live here? Lockdown with COVID happened here.
I hope that my parents can come here sometime, but, until then? I am happy.
(Thank you for letting me ramble, also, sending you a message). :3

This is a rant discussing food/weight-loss/mental health. Please, don't read this if you feel it will trigger anything.
I know he won't be mad at me for falling off track for food, but, for fitness? I feel he's going to be worried.
I was attending a group workout thing which, I haven't gone to really as I didn't realize how much I was anxious over it.
He said to me the last time I saw him, "I will show you what our food pyramid looks like here and we can modify it to meet your needs."
I am a person who needs help in the background, but, not shoving as it never works for me, kindness does.
I am very grateful for everything he's told me in the past, such as, the mince I use (vegan obviously) for pasta, isn't junk food.
I told him I was scared he'd judge me for eating it, he shook his head, "No, it's cleaner than a lot of animal products."
I brought up the cheese/cheeze (whatever, I will call it cheese if I want) I use (violife). His response to me was,
"You don't use a whole bag on a single serving of pasta right?" and I shook my head, "Only to top my pasta, like, 1 TBSP max-?"
He nodded in return and said, "I want to help you learn what you eat? Is not junk. It's processed, but, not junk. Junk is what's in trash bins."
I needed that, I'll be updating here later if I remember to, but, I am just scared he will ask how things have been since last time we spoke.
I also been scared since I have a psychiatrist appointment in early April which has me nervous as they made me uncomfortable. D;

@Alorrena:
It makes sense that you've been to the other side. I haven't explored all of Oregon myself to be fair. I moved here to close the Long-Distance gap with my husband. He was born here. He loves his job, etc. Do I miss my friends from Oregon? Absolutely. I have Sage and two other friends I am close to back in Oregon.
I always knew I wanted to move to UK or EU eventually and I questioned if it would be worth it, it absolutely has been. Prior to my marriage to my husband, the people I've dated in my past before him was someone from Louisiana. Before that person? Was someone from California. I could see myself loving either-or.
I feel like I would've easily had a lot more health problems than I do now. I am still not healthy, but, I am working on that, in fact, I am seeing my dietician/nutritionist today to talk about my plan of action in how I want to go about losing weight, etc today!. ^__^
I apologize about my ranting on Veganism, it's just something I am very passionate over, and educate myself on how nutrition works for the fun of it, in the beginning, it was more than 3 hours a day at some times.

I went Vegan in 2016. My husband accepted I wanted to be Vegan after witnessing a lot more that my heart couldn't support anymore (and I believe that by people paying for animal products, it continues to keep demand for those said products. - I will say now, I am way less judgemental than I used to be, but, I still believe in my own opinion animals aren't meant for us. - I also don't believe or like much the blanket terms people will fall for "free-range" or "ethical"/"humane". ^__^;
After I went Vegan, my husband joined me when he got frustrated at seeing the "animal-party" here wasn't doing their job of claiming to care for animal welfare, later people were exposed for horrible practices in raising animals for "food".
I feel like being a Vegan in California would've been way easier than in Louisiana, especially since my ex-fiancée was a chef who loved to cook which was nice, and while he believed in a lot of the same things I did, I don't think it would've been a fit in the long term with his love of the idea of "harvesting" your own animals. The biggest overall issue is both of those people were very abusive in many different forms. I am glad to be where I am in life.
The person from California I am not so sure I could call myself engaged to him, even though we said we were, I feel like wouldn't understand why I went Vegan (I follow the philosophy and it's not a diet, the term veganism is based on lifestyle, not dietary changes) and his mother raised him on a lot of meat-heavy dishes (like one time, she fed me cow intestines she ordered from a restaurant and I just remember not being a fan, but, respect to her Mexican background for using every part of the animal, just, not my cup of tea).

@Alorrena:
It really is pretty. I was born there and lived there my whole life before deciding to move here.
Ah, there is many different art fairs that happen there and that sounds awesome! :3
I will say that Eugene is very quirky, in fact, a lot of Oregon is, least, where I've been.
There is a reason Portland's slogan is, " Keep Portland weird. " - Love Portland as well. ^__^;

The US education system is really messed up with a lot, I learned more by being online. xD;
Eugene is great! Lane County Fairgrounds? Those were good times! But, that's cool! :3
I also agree it makes sense that it's broken into different provences.
