A Night at the Movies

 We went to the movies this week and watched the new Indiana Jones movie "Dial of Destiny." We have always been fans of the Indiana Jones series and this latest movie we were excited to see, because Harrison Ford still has all the same vibes as the first Indy movies. Our local movie theater is an old one, but still a good one. Jeff told us that when he was growing up he and a friend would sneak into the back of the theater and watch all his favorite movies. They recently upgraded the projectors, but some of the older decorations and lighting are the same. We like how small and less crowded it is on certain nights. It's nice to be able to watch a movie without 100 other people around you making noise. We just love it and it's great memories for Skylar to remember when he is older.

Our First Cold Plunge Experience

 My therapist recommended giving cold plunging a try, so I got Skylar and Jeff to do it with me. It was quite an experience, but I will say, all three of us felt amazing afterward and for a few days following. We have started with a galvanized metal stock tank that is large enough for us to sit with our legs completely submerged in the water. We are going to get into a routine of cold plunging at least twice a week and also incorporate cold showers into our daily routine, so we get into a pattern of where our bodies benefit from both.  We are being consistent with it, because my knee pain is almost nonexistent and I experience less headaches, backaches, and my mental health issues seem to be less intense when I do have a panic attack. Jeff said his arthritic shoulder and injured wrist feels about 80% better, and Skylar said he experiences better mental health and helps with his endurance when running. We will see how long this setup works for our needs and we will be upgrading to one that has a regulated chilling system, so we don't have to keep using ice. There is nothing wrong with this setup, if it's something you've been wanting to try, but our feedback on this setup is the constant using of bagged ice, or frozen ice blocks you can make yourself.

Easter 2023

 Our Easter this year was very lowkey. We dyed eggs and gave Skylar a basket of things he has asked for over the past few months. We had a very slow holiday to ourselves. We are around so many people during the week and all three of us just wanted to stay home and watch movies and eat candy, so that's just what we did. It was perfect!🐰

A Few IKEA Favorites

 Recently we've done a few shopping trips at IKEA for things for the bus, and while we are there we happen to come across some items on sale. These items were also part of our IKEA master list we keep, so we promptly grabbed them up. Here are a few of those items lately. 

(And of course, Skylar loves putting them all together!)
