Celebration Weekend Recap
It's Monday again. How do they keep coming faster? Did you get a lot done this weekend or spend it getting into mischief? We started off the weekend right with a Friday night viewing of Spaceballs to honor the newly released news of Spaceballs 2 . It was kind of funny because all I could hear during the movie were the times my dad laughed at certain parts when we went to see it in theaters. I'm glad I have a few good memories like that of him. Several weeks ago, the Mr saw some travel article about an old school donut shop he wanted to go to sometime. (We're suckers for the old school places over the decorate a crappy cake donut places.) This was how he wanted to celebrate his well earned victory on his test last Thursday. We were on the road pretty early. I knew it was supposed to rain in the morning but we didn't care for the dubious looking clouds. It went from ominous to sheeting rain: It got to 5 ft visibility at one poin...
Too funny but also a glimpse into the gimping world of late stage middle age, or whatever it's called now.
ReplyDeleteOh if we'd only shown that the 17/19 year old us!! They'd be like 'what is WRONG with you in the future!?!?'
DeleteDo any of these tools do what is claimed? I have a foam roller but it didn't really do much.
ReplyDeleteI think flat foam rollers are crap. The only one that has ever done anything for me is this one: https://amzn.to/3wMeZEo You can dig in without it being too severe. You can also line up your shins and roll those between the divots and it does an amazing job loosening things up and that's saying something coming from me. All of the tools in the pic all have specific uses that help me. The steel scraper is used for Graston therapy which when you apply oil or lotion on the spot and run it over it, it helps break up adhesions which limit mobility. The wood lymphatic thingy gives nice broad strokes for IT band or quad loosening and then those little points can get trigger points. The rumble ball is the big kahuna and I'll rest my calf on it to try to release knots. The yoga strap I currently use to lengthen the achilles since it's really shortened right now but its also good to assist stretches after walks laying in bed. Hope that helps!
DeleteI need those sheets in my life! Someday... I'm putting myself on a tight budget this year, so only things that are really needed, but maybe they are, to go with all of my peanuts pictures and stuffed dolls that I have, ok enough of trying to justify it in my head!

DeleteI'll tell you this, they NEVER go on sale so the price is what it is. I'm on year three I think and they're holding up really well. They're flannel, I'm a hot sleeper and they don't bother me at all. I say start off the year with a good investment! 😁
