What I'm Reading This Week #30
Happy Final Friday of July everyone! I will not be sad to see this month in the rear view. The Mr finished the HOA minion's job by checking on the basement wall crevasse of missing mortar pretty much every waking hour after he "filled" the hole. I gave him a bamboo skewer to see if it hit the long bottom we saw with the camera. Nope. source When he poked it, it drained away. Every hour, he'd do the same and it kept emptying. I had him check to make sure it wasn't pouring out the front of the house and thankfully it wasn't. But if you figure that water has been etching away at the stairstep crack leading from the top of the hole then that goes down the entire length of the wall , so it had a long way to travel. In the end not only did the Mr use one quart of the filler but had to buy another one and used 1/3 of the bottle before it finally started leveling off!! If we'd left it to the HOA dude, an eighth of the bottle woul...
I don't know what it is about Yoga but I am always in worse shape leg-wise than I expect that I should be. I had no idea that Yoga was so hard on the muscles. My legs are on fire!
ReplyDeleteIce, Ibuprofen, Heat after a while, stretch. You've got the bases covered ,it just sucks.
ReplyDeleteRest ..it's ok to rest. Epsom salt soaks help too. I'd love to go snowshoeing , but would probably be in bad shape if I did.
ReplyDeleteI have problems with both of my Achilles, but mostly my left. I literally have a ball on it...and it all started from a pair of name brand workout shoes that I'll never put on my feet again. When it flares (particularly after sitting for a while then standing) I walk like I have no bend in my knee because it feels like it's going to blow out. I have a heating pad by the couch along with a massager that is very powerful that I use on my legs and shoulders/back. And I love using the frozen water bottle to roll my feet on at the end of a workout.
