Yes, but when we took trees out I lost my privacy, if you know what I mean.
I need a road trip to Ocean Shores.
What are you doing today?
- Thread starter lilbopeep
- Start date
Well since 6pm I've had 5 trick or treaters.
That's more than we usually get at our apartments.
Down the street further where work is and the actual houses are, I've seen quite a few kids, most of which probably attended the public trick or treat at work.
Snowy Halloween, but that didn't last long.
Thank God lol

I was hoping to drive across the new roundabout that's been in the works out on SR 108 and US24 here.
Well it's still not finished.
I used to drive across bigger three and four lane ones when I was in England.
Figured I'd show the locals how it's done.
People are freaking out. 🤔

Yes they are.
It's the second one they've constructed here.
There is a small one out by the hospital, this one is in a very busy area to get from the major thoroughfare heading out of town.
There is an offramp and US 24 that is normally heavy with semi traffic.
Apparently it opened later this evening.
They removed all the traffic cones.
I probably should have put a direct link to ODOT instead of a Facebook screenshot.
Just looked up the difference between rotaries (Massachusetts has 118 of them, more than any other state) and round abouts. The latter are similar, but supposedly easier to use and safer.
I am a master of rotaries. They are only scary when other drivers don't follow the rules.

You got that right!
When I used to drive from Leeds to any other part of the UK, I witnessed foreigners driving right over them, gypsies with their horse carts, it was sure an adventure 🤣
It's not a real big roundabout.
Wasn't a lot of traffic either.

I’m up early -stressed - we are getting a new hot water heater today - she went for the most expensive one. I took a cold shower two days ago and look forward to a hot one this afternoon.

I wish it was snowing here. If only there was a way.

Tomorrow my sister goes to the neurologist with the MRI scan report. She is back to normal, almost. But my other sister keeps her at her place, for safety until all clear from doctors.

Thank goodness! Lol
I know that cost you a few pennies 😄

Looking highly advanced, with a digital display etc.
In some of the old colonial bungalows in Sri Lanka you can still find the old heaters. Big brass cylinder with no temperature control whatsoever. If you leave it switched on too long, and open the wrong tap of the shower you will burn yourself. Always open both taps and get the right heat before jumping under it. Lol.
Back to the chiropractor today for another TENS session.
Ugh ..
Then hopefully a nice long walk.

By the time Dr. Lorenz got through the adjustment phase of working on my lower back, which always sounds like crushing a bag of walnuts, then my right shoulder which I was sure I was facing rotator cuff surgery, I was ready for the TENS at highest frequency on both areas.
Came home, took my two mile walk.

Yesterday it was supposed to rain so we did the drive to Whole Foods which is up the street from Trader Joe’s. We loaded up on gluten free stuff - $$$ - and are set for awhile. They had some frozen seafood I liked the looks of but will shave that for later. It started raining while were were shopping and didn't stop till after we got home from dinner. Today I did some garden work for her - heavy lifting, and have more to do before we go to Utah for thanksgiving.
I don't know what TENS is, but I'm sure I'd love it. Haven't been to a chiropractor in decades, but I was JUST thinking about going again. My hips are disturbingly aching.
Hoping my new walking shoes will help.

Chiropractic TENS units are used to put a pain relieving wave throughout the area central to pain.
They sell junk ones on the market that don't work really.
I had 3 across my lower back and 2 on my shoulder.
I have a hard time not giggling because the sensation is both pleasing and not quite painful, but does the job all the same.
Your body releases endorphins during the treatment. Probably why I get all giddy 😂

That’s how my hips started. I’d consult a orthopod, IMHO.

I loved the electric stimulation the other PT did. My new gal doesn’t do that. I do exercises and weights now.
Well it's almost 11pm here, hours later and I'm reaching for the Extra Strength Tylenol and Biofreeze.
Go figure.
😞
I feel better today 😊
I think TENS works better for people with sports injury, not those of us with long term ongoing things, like arthritis.
I had TENS after a car accident many years ago. Hot, wet sand bags, then TENS. I finally stopped because it didn't really help.

Running out of topics to discuss with my Korean student. 😅 He likes very different topics. Such as: repairing things, office holidays, fences and boundaries, going to the hospital, office staff management, etc.
