Vibrating Peanut Soothes Pain

February 11th, 2020 · No Comments

A friend’s physical therapist recommended the vibrating peanut. It really worked for me–a few minutes and my pain was gone! You press the button on one end to toggle through four vibrating levels. I find the up/down level to be the most effective. The peanut comes with a charger and the charge lasts quite well for me. My peanut is green.

The Best Flip Flops with Toe Sox

February 11th, 2020 · No Comments

havaianas with injinjisMy havaiana flip flops are the best because they’re not slippery when wet–so important for stepping around fast, not to mention safety. This makes havaianas worth the extra money for a no-frills flip flop. I like the thinner, slim, style because they walk faster. I like the havaianas better than fancy flops that have arch-supporting molded soles. I wear my havaianas inside the house and out. When it’s cold I use injinji toe sox. injinji has the best fit–the toes don’t pop off. Yea! My size havaianas are marked 37/38, USA W 7/8, and EUR 39/40 (three size markings) and I often take a size 8 or 39 in shoes or clogs. My injinji sox are unisex size M (women’s 9 to 11.5) or women’s size M (9 – 12)–perfect!

Trapped in her Life, Joan Didion Lies in Bed with a Migraine

September 17th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Like Joan Didion, I used to get migraines.

For me, it was the kind of migraine when you’re so nauseated that you vomit. It was when I was married, or rather living with my baby’s father.

I felt trapped.

“I don’t have time to be married!” wails Julie in Julie and Julia, a movie about Julia Child and devote Julie Powell. What Julie really should have cried, was “I don’t have time to work all day at my stupid government job!”
