What I'm Reading This Week #48

Happy Black Friday!  Are some of you out with the masses shopping?  Watching football?  Jonesing for a turkey sammich?  Thanksgiving was a low-key blur here.  It was hard to get jacked up for it with the whirlwind that was the last two weeks on the bathroom front.  It felt like suddenly it was here and there was no build up, more like another thing to fit in.  Not quite how I wanted to roll into the holidays but I'll tell you one thing, all yearly projects must be started in March-May because anything later and it seems to bleed into the Fall and beyond.  I'm tired of feeling unprepared for the holidays the last few years.  I guess I'm thankful for the late thanksgiving this year or we'd have been in the thick of it.  I also know late thanksgiving year's means Christmas barrels at you at warp speed so buckle up buttercups!

Now let's get to:

What Do Compression Socks Actually Do for Your Workouts?  (I have about 10 pairs.  These are good starter pairs for plus size.)

Gut Health Products Have Taken Over the Supermarket. Are They Making Us Any Healthier?  (My gynie has me on some but I seriously wonder if they're worth the headache as I've not seen any difference)

3 Questions to Ask Yourself When Things Go Wrong  (Definitely good to remember and practice)

7 Delicious, Filling, and Non-Boring Ways to Use Oats  (I'm always down to zhuzh up the oats but I'm not up for savory)

All the Home Maintenance Tasks You Should Tackle in November  (It's a little late but better to do it now so you don't regret it later.)

Ageism Hurts All of Us, Even ’Young People’  (Yes it does.)

Changing Holiday Traditions; Keeping Holiday Values  (For my grievers)

This Comforting Sticky Toffee Pudding Recipe Goes From Oven (or Air Fryer) to Table in Just 20 Minutes  (Literally my favorite dessert this time of year.  Sooo good!)

  

Six Chicago restaurant closures you should know about  (Sigh...RIP to one of our favorite Chicago sweet stops.)

We're hoping to just chill and finish up leftovers.  I want this weekend to breathe for once and have no real plans.  My friend is in town but I'm playing it by ear.  If I don't feel like doing something, I'm not going to do it.  I've run myself so ragged that I may just say maybe next time.

How was your holiday if you celebrated and anything on tap for the weekend?
