Has anyone used a phone app or YouTube for home workouts? Any recommendations?

My blocked ear is still working on getting better. Has anyone had a fungal ear infection before and feel comfortable sharing how long it took to clear up?

Today's new to me movie. The Field by Jim Sheridan with Richard Harris, Sean Bean and John Hurt .

Pretty good. Not sure what is was about. It's easy to do evil things when you believe you are a victim and righteous. Don't believe people who tell you doing bad things is ok because your target deserves it.

4 hobbits. Worth a rewatch.

also, boromir died. again.

I think I’ve just made the worst decision ever.

I decided to wash my oodie and it’s so heavy water now. The washer couldn’t cope with the weight of it when it tried to spin it down (on gentle).

I’m now turning on the heating to help it dry, I don’t even know if I can get it dry at this rate.

I have backup oodies thankfully but this is the worst weather to be washing it in.

Dumb decision by me and yours truly.

I wash my oodie (along with as many blankets or other bulky things I can accumulate) at the laundromat for this reason. Definitely would not have washed it today. Good thing you have backups

I tried a Reece's mini cup chocolate. After unwrapping the sweet, I popped it it my mouth and nearly swallowed the additional paper (like a patty pan) that it was sitting in. So I guess this is a PSA.

The chocolate was mega sweet. Much prefer their icecreams.

Family trip to the city today.

I love seeing my kids interact with shop staff. They're so friggin polite with a sarcastic edge.

Retail workers love them. Got free laces from a shop cause my son was vibin with the sales staff.

My contribution is leaving a super positive review on the shop website, praising the sales person.

Also love seeing eshay knobs scatter when I stare them down.

Day 7 of exercise accountability post. I didn't feel like it because I'd been wandering around the local farmers market and then came home and sampled sunflower seed vodka which I'd bought. It's very nice! But I thought, "if I don't do it now I'll never do it." Looked ahead and tomorrow is another rest day, so that gave me a bit of motivation! I said to myself, as always, it's a 10 minute workout and you can make time for it! I haven't weighed myself yet because the truth is even though I've been exercising I haven't really done anything about my diet at this stage, so I'm not expecting any sudden miracles there. I wanted to get into a routine with exercise before I started fiddling around with my diet.
