Abifae - Ciao Babies!

No ice cream for me. I'm so bloated on rice LOL!!!

So I was rinsing the carrots and the dishwasher poured all the water all over the floor. If it's only a LITTLE backed up, I just run it... But since it is already overflowing, we called maintenance. BUT!! I got the dishwasher unloaded and the carrots are in jars with fresh brine. Apple cider vinegar and sea salt water.

That means only the bathroom is left.

DONE!!!

And the ballet barre is completely complete. Well, I do want to use it for two weeks before we glue it, to be sure I like it how it is.

congrats on the ballet barre!

 

[abifae]

Thank you. I'm very pleased. I cannot hold even the Hero Pose on my own. But with a barre, I can, and so I can get my back strength up

Plus the stretches one can do on a barre are great

I need one for yoga. I'm always leaving hand prints on the walls because I can't balance on my left foot..

 

[abifae]

Here are the instructions . You could easily make a miniature one just for balance on yoga!

For you, I'd say just adjust it like crazy. You don't need 10' across just for yoga. You could do 3-5 feet, I bet. The height on this is great for me. But it's easily adjusted too.

So you'd need 2' and 1' for each vertical stand, and a 5' or so for across, then the 4 Ts and 2 Ls to attach verticals and horizontals. It was incredibly easy. Once you are certain you like it, glue it together

I didn't use the 4 L attachments on the bottom to lift it. PVC is more stable just flat on the floor.

It cost me about $50 total, including a hacksaw and level to cut my 10' in half once I realized I needed the center pole. I would guess you could do it for $30 without the 10' and extra middle pole. You'd only need 2 10' poles total, cut up

Oh my.

I fermented carrots... added pickling spice... Just jarred them with half acv/half sea salt water and ...

*swoons*

They are crunchy and great flavor and I cannot stop eating them.

Still need to make it to Sunflower before Wed for cabbage and cherries and then I'll have saur kraut going (with lots of whole garlics) and then more cherry ... stuffs. Dunno what yet LOL.

Okay. Back to work.

Geez, I can't get online for a few days, come back and find all kinds of things are happening in your life.

I hope we can meet up again before you move further away. Offer to come out and visit still open. You and anyone else nearby.

Just not until it's cooler because our air conditioning in the house doesn't work so good, and yeah, uh huh, it IS stupid hot!

 

[abifae]

Well, any moving won't be til Feb, regardless.

And it all depends on whether or not I land a job that pays me enough to stay in Denver.

 

[abifae]

Disney is doing the Barsoom movies!!!

Not so much nudity, and I'll assume they are leaving out a lot of the BDSM aspect.

Abi, you never cease to amaze me with the stuff you bring up here.

Yes, I had to Google the acronym. x 2
