Monday 16-07-2018 – It's World S-s-s-s-snake Day!

All the pics are fab. Esp Mittens, Humphrey and yeah the self-poisoning snake!

Beyond heat wave here – but I don’t mind! Not so long as I come home to A/C and no humidity!

JJ, extended vaca with sis JRoc! Kewel! But hope her hometown was not affected by storms.

MS, this might be off-base Q – I think snakes are considered endangered species – but seeing as they are PTS in NZ 😥 – I respect the country’s eco regulations – but can so-called “illegal” items be made from snakeskin? Like purses, shoes, belts. This way some part of them could be used while their souls slither through the RB. Just a thought.

I do have kewel faux snakeskin sandals, belts and a bag with the trim.

Anyone recall those kitschy Westerns where someone gets poisonous snakebite and someone else has to suck the venom out? Similar flicks generally feature some surgery without anaesthetic ‘cept slug of whisky, or bullet or leather strap to bite down on. 😉

Here’s a fun thing! My stylist (who did his excellent purrfect cut) had a pr of tiny padded cycle shorts (like the “serious” outdoor bikers wear) given to him for his ongoing Sunday garage sale. So he gave them to me. Never worn these before but along with my padded bike seat they should help when called into service efurry so often. Black with red narrow piping going down side of legs. and checked online, Italian brand goes for $130 and up USD! I like to pay like $20 tops for gym gear.

Wiped and not at the same time. Trying to keep calm and collected prior to tomorrow’s stress-laden appt. Doesn’t help that my MD and I will never be BFFs in this world, we just don’t connect. But she is thank G-d an expert and that’s the most important thing. But nurse is there and she is awesome, as in she speaks to MD beforehand and I can call her as needed. Ideally we can do something re my ongoing or so issues.

I was a good grrl and drank more today – Perrier! Truly it is heat stroke weather.

I did wear my silver-tone viper bangle today! And my snake earrings! Without contemplating the Special Day! Plan to wear the bangle again tomorrow. Also have silver-tone bangle with rhinestone eyes. And plain silver-tone snake earrings. And ring with black eyes and spotted finish. Guess jewellery-wise I am an ophiophilist (purrson who loves snakes) new word for me! 😎

And I feel sorry for “misunderstwood” snake. So pretty! Once went to n’hood street festival where one booth had wide variety of snakes in order to demystify peep’s fears. The boa constrictor – mega huge and needs to eat a lot to keep it’s buff shape!

Lagatta, you keep mixing me up with KZ, who I don’t think will be shopping at Reitman’s, seeing as she lives in US. 😉

Do I check out this sale? Hmmm … now where would I put more gym gear.

Should check out San Pellegrino, I could certainly use all the calcium that I can find! Could enhance with juice as I also like Perrier orange fizz.

I do like the shorts and need all the padding that I can get, lacking the padding that nature provides. 😉 As in if I forget my saddle pad and the gym loaner is N/A I can’t do the class. 😮

Spinning at times is also called indoor cycling, to differentiate from the genuine mode of transit that you describe. For sure the bikes are entirely different, but depending on the class style instructors can mimic a ride, ie hills, flat roads, speed, etc. My preference is a mode called at my gym “Rhythm Ride” which includes some upper body and core work, dance type moves, and standing, at times hands-free, very difficult. NYC has classes that are totally choreographed! Some cohorts who ride outdoors have told me that spinning is harder than cycling outdoors ’cause we have ability for high resistance, high speed, no traffic rules – and no potholes! Over the years I’ve done most every type of gym workout – spinning is the most challenging!
