What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
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! 😁
