Good Morning!

..is there a fitness centre near you @Former-Member ? I read yesterday they have finally proven benefits of having regular saunas.

they clain the effect is similar to doing aerobic exercise, and most benefit comes from doing at least 4x week, plus you live longer yay

I've not done it in years, but used to do 10mins, shower, repeat 3x , then try and build up to 30 mins in one go lol.

I had eye check up yest, sight in right eye is getting way better with age , left one not so, they were similar 10 years ago , can do like 5 more lines with right eye now

ok am short sighted and age changes to long sight, so my eyes still defective, and old, but needing glasses less and less ha.

also forgot was told have cataract, but they said its tiny, prob need op when 80. I said I wont be here then anyway the way I'm going.

Told someone picking stuff up again today. I'm really over this driving with trailer deal, cant see it to reverse properly as it is low and narrow. I just need a lounge and a few cupboards now, dunno . maybe I could just pay hundreds to get a futon lounge delivered

@Meowmy @tonys

@TAB yeah agree with saunas. I used to swim and sauna at the local university pool. Cant do it anymore due to diabetes. Extreme heat and cold push up blood sugar. I have learned that recently. At the uni they had both a dry and wet sauna plus spa. I used to go there regularly.

Great news about your eyes. I have to book an appointment soon and get my eyes checked. Over 50 you have to have them checked every year or so. So have been very good with that. Did not like the optometrist tried to rip me off by getting two glasses done instead of one. I told him I was on a disability pension. It was a money grab. Will not go back. The last lenses I got were progressive lenses. I wear blue light blocker glasses to protect my eyes from the screen glare from the internet.

Yes a bit of a conundrum carting used furniture all over the place. We used to hitch trailers from petrol stations if I needed anything. My ex was driving so I don't know how hard it was to drive with it but we managed to get from A-B. These days I just go with removalists and folks with vans off of gumtree. I noticed there were a few local delivery services in my area but gumtree is full of them. I don't quite know what you do. Once I hailed a taxi van to transport some chairs back to my place from the Salvos. Its hard having to make urgent decisions when your situation does not allow it. Futons are very expensive now. I checked prices on Back to the Futon several years back and they were really pricey. My last futon was made out of solid wood and lasted close to 30 years. Whatever your decision I hope it works out but annoying yes.

The power outage hasn't happened yet so I'm still online

@tonys I prefer JAZZ standards meself ...lol

. you mean HH or Hungry Hams IS as force to be reckoned with .. @MDT

So sorry to hear you have no power. Hope you have a lot of jumpers and blankets to keep yourself warm.

Will be a good detox.

Missing you 💜💕💜.

Hey @Former-Member I don't know if you were referring to me or @TAB. TAB had no power last week. As of today I was meant to have a planned power outage here but it did not eventuate. I wondered if it was due to the inclement weather? Yes have been keeping warm! Brrrr...

I invested in a weighted exercise jacket for walking as like you my weight had plateaued and wasn't decreasing. I am down another kilo but its been hovering around this mark for several weeks. So see how I go with it.

How are things at work. You mentioned it was a difficult job. I hope youve been able to ease yourself into it ok and are over your orientation. How has your pain associated fibro been? I know drastic changes in weather can cause a flare up.

I have been going back to reading an old compendium series about some transmissions from an alien known as Zadore appearing as a hologram from an otherworldy "capsule" of sorts found in a geology dig back in the 1990's. It has a series of spiritual practices. I also go to the VOLAH blog where the books are for sale and read the spiritual insights in the blog on a weekly basis and apply them to my life.

Other than that its daily routine and keeping active around the house. I'm over my virus - it only lasted 48 hours last week or the week before. Took some supps to get over it quickly. Learning how to use medical equipment in the event of a chest infection in future with all these bugs flying around the place. Have been speaking to a compounding chemist about how to have the formula made up for the nebulizer. Its a fallback strategy if it ever comes to that. Did more household chores today which I put in the thread The Magic of Tidying. Have to get out into my vegie patch and do some weeding this weekend.

i hope you are well Maggie

All my love
