We Do Need To Revisit The Wording Of "you Can't Have Your Cake And Eat It Too" Because I Don't Think

C R A I S I N

Craisins are fantastic, why eat a raisin when you have a craisin. 

-Dogs can eat them and not die

- When you see a craisin cookie you won’t be tricked, the garnet color is a lovely indicator saying, “Hey, I’m not a chocolate chip cookie, but I’m still delicious!”

- Craisin cookies often include white chocolate, unlike raisins which stand alone

- They don’t get your hands disgustingly sticky

- Taste good

- yes

- The right balance of tangy and sweet

- Healthy substitute for candy

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s the focus?

1. Keep the flexibility in your spine

2. Stretch the muscles in the front

3. Strengthen the muscle in the back

Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen

Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day

The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.

Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up

There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving

Tips:

Do the best you can

If it hurts stop

Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises

THE PICTURE OF ADRIEN AS A CHILD IN THE MIRACULOUS LADYBUG MOVIE IS TRACED FROM A BOSS BABY RENDER OF TIM IVE KNOWN THIS FOR MONTHS

Watercolor is harder than initially thought I do not think I will try a new medium completely blind next time. However I do enjoy that I'm forced to be careful and think about my next move. It makes me happy and watercolor is probably my favorite painting medium. I'm going to try a fish after this landscape.

This child in gaza is screaming:

"I wish it was a dream. Oh, mom and dad. I wish it was a dream and my mom and dad are still alive" after being rescued from underneath the rubble to find his parents killed by Israel.

Share this, we are not numbers. Let our voices be heard in hopes that this stops.

So I fully expected to be annoyed by Hobie (I went into the movie blind) with the whole thing playing out as "You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about" kind of situation but I'm so happy it's not. I very much love Hobie and while half the time I had zero idea what kind of british stuff the man was saying, he's just the best guy ever. Love that guy!!
