What I'm Reading This Week #2

Tis Friday y'all!  I hope you had a good, productive week and are ready for a hearty helping of weekend tomfoolery.   I've been dealing with bait and switchers on rental sites and the aftermath of that.  So irritating and it was not how I wanted to start or end my week.  We have retreat booked and it's the first time we don't really have any space to go outside in a lawn setting and chill.  It is so weird to see how places we've stayed in the past regardless of where we've stayed aren't available the following year or the next time we're in town.

We binged season 4 of the Netflix show You which was good the first season, went downhill the second season, irritating and grating the third season and this season was "didn't think it could get more cringe, I was wrong."  We had a lot of shows to catch up on and I think that was the last of the old shows and now it's new to us stuff.  Anyone else still think these streaming services seriously don't live up to what they claimed they were going to be when spit balled?  

Now let's claim:  

These Muscles Are Key For Healthy, Comfortable Aging: 9 Ways To Flex Them Today  (They are not wrong and I need to work on it.)

Mysterious Neglected Part of Our Body Is Vital to Our Health, Scientists Discover  (Dude...I can tell you first hand how important it is and keeping it pliable because if you don't, you'll be in big trouble.)

8 Plant-Based Foods Rich in Pectin, an Anti-Inflammatory Fiber Linked to Longevity (Some yummy options to add in if you don't already!)

Brain Function Dramatically Boosted by Certain Fragrances During Sleep   (Interesting!  I'll have to drag my diffuser back out!) 

Shin Splint Exercises  (Yep, got those too. 🙄)

We stopped taking Ozempic and Wegovy — and regained more weight than we lost  (Given the price of it monthly and more and more stories like this (and the ones yet to come out in 5-10 years)- I'll pass even though I'm really tempted with grief weight.)

Things People Don't Realize You're Doing Because You Have Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (Holy crap, there's a name for it!?  I've got basically every one of these but would love to know WTH you're supposed to do about it!  Also what happens when you have examples of people actually rejecting you?)

4 Brilliant Ways to Respond to Someone Gaslighting You, According to a Therapist  (#4 should shut down pretty much anyone.  If they dig in, reply 'according to you.')

6 Things You Should Never Store in Plastic Bins, According to Pros  (In case you're doing the whole declutter thang)

How to Erase Your Personal Information From the Internet. It’s Not Impossible!  (Nothing like getting a call from some asshat asking if you want to sell your deceased parents APARTMENT.)

It's the weekend and the Mr said the only thing about going back to the office is that he has an appreciation for the weekend again.  I'm sure he'd much rather be back on his 4/1 schedule going in on Fridays when no one else is there.  We're both hoping they come to their senses because people are doing no work, blabbing around each other's desks for well over an hour at various times of the day, whistling and humming just to be annoying and see who they can get to snap.  I encouraged him to walk the halls for five minutes at the top of the hour to get away from the masses and give his legs some circulation.  Still no snow here and I'm ready to road trip for it.  I literally watched a huge system come in, break up around our city and rejoin together 30 miles outside of it.  It happens without fail- every. time.  

You got anything planned for the weekend?
