yoga / stretching really helps me manage my back pain.

This guy’s approach is like restorative yoga. Long holds of 2-5 minutes, and controlled breathing. Day one was really just 5 minutes of pigeon on each side and 5 minutes of lotus. It was pretty relaxing.

I found the program through IG ads and decided to give it a shot while a sale was going. It is probably cheaper than physical therapy copay costs and I haven’t even been able to find a physical therapy place that’s got available time and takes my insurance.

House booked in Asheville for Oct 7-14 with a hot tub, trampoline, climbing dome, and access to Bent Creek trails right at the end of the block. What could possibly go wrong?

@6thElement @Nick y’all sure you can’t join? We’ve got room and a high probability it’s gonna be a proper shitshow.

I've got 20/10 vision according to my eye doctor, as long as what I am seeing is more than a foot away from my face. These are prescription readers used primarily for work and reading.

Ah, then you must be literally the only person I know who only has one pair of reading glasses.

<snip> my boss's take was figure it out. So he gets to figure it out when I'm gone.

It amuses me how few bosses realize this is how shit works out when they are unreasonable.

Started an online yoga-based stretching class. 21 day routine cycle at 15 minutes a day. Seems manageable. Day 1 seemed pretty helpful.

Link? I could use some manageable routine for stretching...

Always have a spare pair of readers handy. I have them everywhere, home, studio, car, messenger bag, backpack, etc….

I got this hip opening program. It was on sale through yesterday. At checkout they hit me with impulse buys for discounts on other programs so I got two others. Each is a 21 day cycle with lifetime video access and they hit you with a pdf of the exercises.

I'm still a young whipper snapper whose eyes haven't betrayed him yet. I can even make it through the night without having to get up to pee.

Take that you old codgers.

My eyes betrayed me in 4th grade.

I, too, despite my advanced age, can get through an 8h sleep stretch without being interrupted for micturition.

Rough day is rough

Fighting a cold, but went to a fundraiser at a fancy pant’s restaurant last night anyway. Ordered the Yellowtail Ceviche, bad idea. Spent half the night on the van blasting away like I was on the Oregon trail about to die of dysentery. 2ish hours of sleep is not enough

I think I’m allergic to fancy restaurants, I’m now 4 for 4 on food poisoning from nice places over the last two months. Street tacos only from here on out.

So my brother had a cyst removed from his bladder earlier this summer that turned out to be cancerous. At a follow-up appointment, they just found 6 more new ones. They tell him its not a cause for concern, but JCoaC, that's fucked. Fuck cancer.

Was pondering a Moab weekend around then. Did you find an airline where you're not in the hold with chickens?

I think I’m through it, so probably not tilapia of death, but if my feet fall off, we’ll know why

Gotta stay the fuck out of Westlake and Oak Park.
