Another reason I do double crostics is so I can pretend I'm decoding secret messages at Bletchley Park, though if I were at Bletchley, it's almost certain the Germans would have won the war.
As noted everywhere else, this is being a dull autumn. There are one or two red or yellow trees doing their best but mostly it's the faded greens of a very wet year.
Found my electropulse thingy in the drawer I never open. I doubt it does any good but like the arm bands it's a placebo, and placebos do work, don't they?
Last year I bought a set of elasticized Arena Strength bands because Therabands *always* break, the cheap things. Intended to increase my arm strength with them but my elbows were having none of it, so they languished unused. But my pilates woman has me doing leg stretches etc with metal springs, and my legs like it, and my headboard has slats, and I can loop the bands through them and thereby do that marching exercise my bad knee won't let me do standing up, so go me. Also a sneaky way to get me to do my other exercises, because once I'm lying down feeling that lovely stretch with the bands, might as well do the tedious quad exercises as well.
I do wonder what life would be like if I had no inner three year old resisting me bloody all the time. Bet it's like those ADHD people who go on meds and find that hey, things aren't always difficult all the time, no wonder other people can accomplish so much.
