PPals Friday June 6🕷️🐛🪲🐞🐜

I’m posting Thursday night, but Ivett and Christine might be waking up early to exercise and Lynna is almost to Saturday, I think.

Sharing a photo of a little treat that is supposed to help with sleep. If you have ever heard of golden milk with turmeric and other things this is something similar. I chose pink or blush because I was in the pink mood, and I’ve had golden. I haven’t tried it yet because I haven’t found a happy milk alternative.

Fun news, applause please, I actually made it to water aerobics. Pros: low impact, steady state, an entire hour, great for lymphatics. I’m told to exercise in full compression gear to minimize swelling, but really it’s too hot. The water provides compression. Cons: maybe not difficult enough? I’ll go to a more advanced class next week. Also, they had buoyant foam dumb bells as a balancing weight, and everyone pretty much kept them above water. I thought, this is silly, so I kept them at my thigh level for the workout, and now I think my neck is talking to me. Good news: the UB work didn’t bother my hands, wrists or thumbs. I’ll use the water workouts as cross-training along with the rebounder and LIR2. The class was also good because work is all online this summer, so I’m not socializing or getting enough sunshine. Um, might be a little sunburnt.

Food: I had red rice tonight and it’s my new favorite.

My stepmother passed away early this morning. I don’t need condolences. She married my dad after I joined the military, and I think she only visited my house twice in 35 years. We visited them a little more frequently, but not much. I posted in HKS how it’s making me think about relationships. I like relationships and I’m willing to make an effort for them, but I can’t make someone else have a relationship. 🙃 Thank you for the supportive relationships here.

What’s happening in your neighborhood?

Yeah, I’m definitely sunburnt. Find the aloe.

All are welcome to the thread.
