What's on your agenda for today?

I just got a new super duper desk chair delivered today - happy me! My back is thanking me right now. So many levers to adjust to make it a perfect fit. :D
 

iPad's are great, Lynn and next on my wish list. Right now, I'm on a desk computer with large flat screen and prefer to use a regular keyboard and mouse - squeak!
 
I agree about the keyboard and I have a keyboard that I can attach to my iPad but haven't opened it yet...got it for Christmas.
 
Russia, Spain...flying all over the States, new desk chair, a new mystery and netflix....sounds like most are having a wonderful weekend.
Except for Josiah. How did the rest of your sale go? Is the whole town blacked out? That is horrible.
I was just told that a major hospital in Jacksonville, Fl is running on emergency generators. Most everything is down. No A/C, elevators, medical record system ect. I hope the generators can keep the electronic equipment going in the intensive care units and premature babies units going, until power is resumed. Really scary.

Sounds good Cookie, maybe one of the levers will make you fly to distant lands, watch out for the ejection one though :D
Seriously though a good desk chair is essential for looking after your back, I replaced mine a while back as the old one had all but collapsed.

I spend a lot of time in bed and use a chromebook because of its keyboard, I can get really comfortable with it. When in Russia Lisa brings me cups of coffee in bed so I am in paradise. I do have a kettle and coffee at home on a bedside table, but have to get out of bed to make it :bigwink:

Sounds idyllic Shali I often wondered what mermaids ate, now I know :) enjoy your cocktails (there is a joke there but I will demur) :eek: and your paradise :love_heart:
 
Well, I am having breakfast in bed and catching up on my tablet. When I have longer replies I wait until I get on PC. Cookie I've got a good adjustable desk chair that is very comfy.
 
I see no one is sitting in their rocking chairs! ;)

The sun is trying to come out finally but it's teasing. Husband is riding his bike 40 miles across and island then catching the ferry and driving home. Should be here before dinner. I've enjoyed the quiet and got a lot done, but ready for my sweetheart to return.

I ordered a plantar fasciitis splint to wear at night and it arrived yesterday. Wore it last night and it wasn't uncomfortable, just bulky and heavy. Can't walk on it so have to take it off in the middle of the night to pee. Result: my heel had no pain this morning. The splint keeps the fasciia stretched out instead of tightening up. Looks like this:

Good to know Annie! I still have pectoral muscles from being a swimmer when I was young. Used to flex them in order to get free drinks in the bar for my friends and I. Gave up doing that last week. HaHaHaHa.

LOL! I do a resistance machine for my pecs. Don't know why. I just don't like to ignore any muscles.
 
AS: I had the surgery called, "Plantar Fascia Release" about 10 years ago. Up until then, I had pain stepping out of bed every morning and my heel always felt like it had stones in it. Each step was painful. I finally opted for the surgery after trying numerous splints and other devices. After the surgery, it took me about two months to be able to get back to running my 2-miles every morning, but after only a few weeks, I was walking pain free.

I did miss a month of work because it was painful to use the rudder pedals in the jet. I had to be cleared by the FAA doctor before returning to flying and they are more particular than any doctor that I have ever been to.

Thankfully mine has not been bad enough for surgery. I first had it in 2010 in both feet. Got better. Then had it again for a few months in both feet a couple of years later. Now it's only one foot and I abused it badly in Thailand on hard floors. Much better now! I'm doing everything right - proper support always, some great PF slippers, and now the splint. I don't get a lot of pain at all unless I go for a very long walk. I need to have NO pain when I go the US in August as there will be a lot of walking.

OM, I wonder if you have any ideas on prevention. We'll be in Thailand again all winter and we are expected to remove our shoes when we go into offices, small shops, temples. Floors are very hard. I was thinking about a support sock that I could wear when I have to take off my shoes.
 
One of the exercises that I was taught was to stretch out the plantar fascia ligament by taking a towel and roll it lengthwise and then put it across the ball of you foot and pull back as if to bend half of the foot towards you while sitting in a chair. Luckily, I found this video to show what I am talking about. I use this all the time and it works well.

 
Thanks, OM. April posted some good vids of PF exercises when we did a PF thread a few months ago. I've been doing them and it's helped. This morning I didn't feel any need to do the exercises before getting up - because of the splint. No pain at all. I think I'll bring the splint with me when we travel.

Haven't done the towel one. Looks very easy and helpful.

I knew it wouldn't be tuna salad! I won't comment on the rest either! I just read Josiah's word of the day and it sounds like this angel, lol.

Had to drive into Cincinnati last night and stay at a motel in order to get some online business done and charge up my gadgets. Heading home to clean out my frig and freezer.

You could have said hello to my favourite aunt and uncle who live there! :)
 
We are going for a drive to a farm market a little later. Hope to get some apples
and carrots at least.

It's sunny but windy so that helps to dry the yard after all the rain.

I have been busy and have not spent a lot of time here and am wondering if
SeaBreeze has posted recently?
I have not read all posts so I may have missed some.
Enjoy this June Sunday afternoon.
