What I'm Reading This Week #10

Howdy do all and Happy Friday to you!  I hope you had a good week and are ready to cut loose.   We've walked all over this week and my legs are a bit miffed as they can't predict what terrain I'm throwing at them next.  One in the historic district, one in the riverside district, one at the one park and one at the other.  It is apparent I need to work on getting my glute PT in...woof.   I've been diving hard into the world of gardening this week.  Thanks to my bestie for her response and I see Paula just weighed in last night as well so thanks guys, I've got them all on my list.  Since the price of well, everything, is going to go up, I figured might as well buy the materials needed to make our own tall raised bed (cuz I'm not bending low to weed...I guess I'm old now.  LOL)  I've been looking at some container gardening videos as well as scrap gardening and man there is just so much info out there it's a little overwhelming.  I've been watching this guy because I've got 4 new food grade buckets looking at me saying 'lez do dis beeotch" and he seems to have a lot of knowledge about it all.    I wish I thought about all of this like 2-3 weeks ago but pfft.

Now let's putz around into:

Nordic Walking Can Improve Your Heart Function. Here's How It Works  (We can vouch.  My upper back and shoulders were super sore when we threw ourselves into it in early January.  You can do it any time of year.)

This 1 Underrated Ingredient Lowers Cholesterol and Boosts Heart Health  (I asked my doctor about this instead of statins and she laughed in my face.  This was also the same dipshit who tested my hormones and charged me for it knowing full well I was on hormonal birth control so take her response with a grain of salt)

Surprising differences: How walking affects your body at 5, 10, 30, 40, 60 minutes  (Very interesting and not much needed to reap health benefits)

Chronic stress affects the way mice perceive loudness  (This makes a lot of sense for someone like me but I still want to move onto 6 acres in Vermont backing up to conservation land with no neighbors for 20 miles each way.)

6 Habits Therapists Are Begging You to Break for the Sake of Your Mental Health  (Guilty)

Cozy 'Grandma' Hobbies Are Trending—and They Have Surprising Benefits for Your Mental Health and Well-Being  (No big surprise)

I Just Discovered This “Super Weird” Way to Organize Your Kitchen and It’s Actually Brilliant!  (Mr, why am I thinking about doing this?)

Five Retirement Myths vs the Reality  (Good things to keep in mind!)

7 Things to Get Rid Of  (Many of these make sense and as far as inherited items, check with other family members to see if they want them, if not put a social media post out to your local friends.  You never know who may be looking for that very thing!)

Why Time Flies (Seems like you blink and it's July which sucks because then it's hot.)

I got some items in for the final bathroom project.  I'm pretty sure we should be able to knock that portion out this weekend even with the potential of a one day road trip.  This could be our last one for a while depending on what happens mid month so I want one day where we are doing something fun or mentally beneficial because it is desperately needed since we've been at this since January 5th and mama (and papa) need a friggin' break.  

Whatchu got on tap for the weekend?
