What I'm Reading This Week #40

Howdy do all!  It's finally Friday and we are doing our best Julie Andrews twirl.

The Mr does it best, obviously.  I'm not going into the crap fest that is our life right now with the 5000 projects that are one step forward, fifty steps back.  I'm being tested and failing...miserably.  If I shed one more tear over this crap, I'm going to need flood insurance.  (Not to mention I just found out they discontinued my favorite candy of all time- Reese Cups with Reese Pieces.  The taint of life slides down my face again.)  Other than the continuing misery of DIY and the discontinuing of the only occasional happiness in my life,  I don't have too much to regale you with this week so let's just get to:

Vitamins and Supplements That Should Not Be Taken Together  (Oh wow, very good information!  Should definitely read this if you're on any kind of medication.)

Why You Should Wait Before Cooking With Chopped Garlic  (I'll definitely have to start doing this.  No use in wasting those awesome garlic benefits when you're cooking with it.)

5 Easy Stretches to Alleviate Knee Pain  (Nothing like a good stretch to limber up!)

I Tried ‘Eye Yoga’ to Relieve the Strain WFH Is Putting on My Eyes  (Ooh might have to give this a try because my eyes are a hot mess!  Several people have reported improved vision with the linked video in the article.)

High cholesterol: The hot delicious drink that could lower bad cholesterol in 'weeks'  (That's a LOT of that particular ingredient but we've added a tsp to our gag worthy coffee to make it more palatable so it's good to know it has added health benefits!)

Why we keep falling for fitness fads  (Personally, I don't think a different style of exercise is a fad but yeah Thighmaster or whatever, totally.  But I will say this.  We still love doing Turbo Fire from Chalene Johnson formerly of Beachbody and she has a really interesting video about here time there.  It kind of puts an unfortunate spin on things when we do them now but still get a good workout.)

6 Things Almost Everyone Has Trouble Decluttering—Plus How to Let Go  (I have to say paring down my pictures was quite freeing.  The easy ones are the duplicates since so many places threw them in for free back in the day.  Then throwing away the ones that are blurry or of something you don't even know what it is anymore.  I think I cut my pics down by a good 30% and eliminated 2 photo boxes worth!)

How to figure out what you want out of life  ("What society expects of you and what you actually want in life can be different things."  Uhh, if you're living by societal judgment, you're doing it wrong.)

The 44 Best U.S. Cities to Visit That Look Just Like Europe  (Oooh, some beautiful choices!  Though I can't help thinking of the food poisoning I (and others) got on our first visit to #1!  But I will say that every year I still order a few jars of jalapeno mustard from The Cheese Haus because it's that good!)

How the 1980s Became the Golden Age of Spoof Movies and Why It Couldn’t Last  (Actually it could've lasted if people had maintained a sense of humor and didn't clutch their pearls at every syllable people speak.  Hell, we quote Airplane! so much the Mr is afraid to say the word altogether because he knows he'll get this from me.  Even while laying floor the Mr was saying "Oveur...Roger."  Movie quotes especially from the classics are our love language!)

I'm mentally tapped out so I have zero plans to work on the bedroom because I'll just infuse my hatred of the whole thing into every square inch of the space.  Not like I have everything I need right now anyway but I'm sure we'll fall into something good.  I think I'd like to go for a nice long drive and see if the colors are poppin'.  We need something chill to do after the past few weeks months.  I'm becoming more of a monster than usual.
