Knight of Pentacles

 We put Mr Stubbs down yesterday.  He went downhill pretty quickly and so we found a vet that we could take him to on short notice.  It's been a really rough few days, but at least he's not sick and miserable anymore.  Now the healing can begin. In other news: this might sound kinda "DUH" but I've figured out something.  Previously I would miss a few days of SUPUs (sit ups/push ups), and then go hard for a few days.  But it was very sporadic, and I could feel the inefficiency in this method.  So, I put a yoga mat on the floor next to my bed and very first thing in the morning I go down and do 25 SUPUs.  Every day.  I know there are a few of you that wake up early and get an hour of working out in, but I already get up at 5am, out the door at 6am, so I just don't think I can get up any earlier.  But just getting that first 10 day streak in has made a big difference for me.  No matter what, I always get at least 25 in.  And I've ...

 I'm super curious what everyone on the Rabbit team sent in for their music suggestions for the demo.  A person's taste in music can tell you a lot about them, no judgments!! So if you guys are comfortable with it, post your suggestions in the comments.  Maybe we can make a Rabbit Team playlist!
