Won’t break the rules again! But I turn 50 in February and it’s pretty surreal. What are the best parts of the 50’s? I’ve deeply enjoyed my 40’s ☺️

Too early for airport mimosas?

Mimosas in the Delta Sky Club at 6am. Never too early to drink in the airport right?

What kinds of exercise equipment do you have at home that you use - not just as a place to hang your clothes?

Around this time last year, I spent about 600 $ on an elliptical machine, and now I’m literally using it to dry my shirts. The problem is that for a while now, my left knee has been popping badly when I go down the stairs, and I’ve only just recovered from lower back inflammation that sidelined me for about two months - all because I lifted some bags of dirt in the yard the wrong way. I don’t even have the physical energy left to go lift weights at a crowded gym at 7 p.m. after I finish my shift at the office.

Has anyone managed to stick to a long-term home workout routine using a machine that doesn’t further damage your joints at this age?

I’ve been looking into zero-impact exercise options these past few days, and I’m thinking of ordering a vibration platform - specifically the G14 model from Hypervibe - since their larger version is out of my budget.

The plan would be to stand on it for about 15 minutes in the morning while I drink my coffee, just to get the blood flowing in my legs before I sit back down at my laptop for another 8 hours.

Do these mechanical vibrations really help with morning muscle stiffness after turning 40, or do you risk compressing your spinal discs even more if you don’t sit in the perfect position on it?

New hat…the El Dorado from Straw and Wool

Ordered this in May and got it a week ago. I like the pattern and the shape.
