Just smidy and mild, 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.760 and you know, cold enough for a nice sweater. Yeah, 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.960 I appreciate it. I finally got all my decorating done outside, 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.679 I feel I guess I feel better it just I 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.399 think I've inherited this urge from my mother to just 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.040 Christmas by everything. So I really did the most. I 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:49.600 really really did shout out to target. 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.000 I think works on the outside, but I will say 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.440 my inside is nauseatingly Christmas. 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.400 My sister was like, oh, I'll recond every door. 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:02.000 Oh, I do this little dingle gully things on every door, 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.920 knock downstairs, every single one, so much so that my 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.320 nephew Rooman was like, Auntie, you forgot you. 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.359 Forgot this one. I was like, oh, thanks, baby, here 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:11.360 put that one on that one. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.200 Wait. So so when Superman comes in to interrupt you, 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:15.080 we're gonna hear jingle. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.639 Yeah, okay, Well I'm on the second floor, so I 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.320 didn't do the second floor, but just like that first 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.320 floor is Christmas out because I feel like, especially since 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.320 the kids come of all the time and Supergirl, it's 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:28.960 the kind of thing you remember, even though she always 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:29.560 makes fun of me. 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.760 Like, wow, it's very Christmas sy in here. 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.520 Oh lord, that's the opposite. Because I decided nothing on 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.760 the inside because we can't have anything nice anymore. You've 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.080 officially hit the we've officially. I mean, I am just 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.360 I had all these I tried not to be so naive, 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.360 but I did. I was like, you know, we're not 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.600 gonna let our house be taken over by toys and 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.959 kids stuff. And I'm still gonna keep my cute little 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.959 you know, my interior design, keep my keep my couch nice, 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.720 keep my pillows nice. I officially gave up, took everything 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.240 off the bottom three shelves of all the bookcases, and 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.440 nothing on the coffee table. And all I have inside 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.880 is I do have the stockings because they're high enough 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.640 to where you can't get at them the baby. And 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.480 then I did the most on the outside. So that's funny. 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.000 You're like an inside out version. 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.680 I know, what's you go to? 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.120 Holiday decors? Like shopping destination? 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.040 I actually really liked. There was this place called where 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.400 did I go? It was I don't remember the name 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.280 of it, but like literally when you went in, Oh, 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.840 what is that place called? There's this place in Jersey? 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.720 But is it actually called the Christmas Tree? It might 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.640 be called Chris Tree Shops. Yes, I think so that's 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.680 a chain. It's like the Halloween store that pops us. 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.160 But yes, I went to one of those two I 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.560 did here in our area. I got some cute stuff 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.440 because like because I'm due, I did the outside and 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.320 they had these pre lit gifts, pre lit gifts like 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.080 little you know, like for under the tree that I 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.280 put outside in my front yard. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.000 Yes, you got this, yes, but. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:06.480 You put them inside, yes, And I don't like that 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.320 I put them right next to the I know, honestly. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:11.960 You need to share pictures. I need to see what 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.840 because I put them on the outside. But but they 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.120 were like thirty bucks for a set of three there 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.320 and on Target dot Com I'm not even kidding, they 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.920 were over one hundred dollars for three boxes. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.600 I was like the who Yeah, no, I can't talk 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.560 to them. Last year, I think. Thank Here's the thing. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.840 Last year I did the most dot com because you know, 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.080 it was our first Christmas in the new house, and 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.920 so there was just so much stuff that I didn't 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.479 even get a chance to put out. And I was 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.200 glad because I honestly didn't feel like going to the 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.000 different shops and things, so it was nice to just 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:41.920 have all my taxi stuff already in the hassa. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.840 Yeah, tacky, I love it. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:47.719 I am just me too. Jealous. 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.680 I can't wait till next year. I mean, hopefully the 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.279 baby is like, you know, not so grabby next year. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.080 Does that Does that get better? I don't know. Don't 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:59.440 tell me, but it's uh, yeah. I did do some shopping. 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.200 You're right. When I went to the Christmas tree shops 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.640 in person, I just like had to escape the house 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.040 and I had my mask on, but it felt uncomfortable. 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.640 It was too many people in there, and I quickly 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.680 got what I wanted and then I got out of there. 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.599 But I also have heard and I've experienced there's like 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.560 a shortage of Christmas stuff this year. You know, I 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.960 don't think I waited till that last of a minute, 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.520 Like I think I went shopping before Thanksgiving, and home 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.520 goods didn't really have much target, Like a lot of 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.960 stuff was bare. And I guess part of the issue 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.960 is retailers didn't expect such a huge interest in holiday stuff, 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.360 I guess, and they I don't know. There's been like 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.599 delays and inventory and things like that. But on top 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.760 of that, it seems like the opposite happened, and everybody 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.200 decided to like go all out for Christmas and decorate 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.080 really early this year. So if you're looking at might 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.320 be slim pickens out there. 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:55.120 Yeah, no, I think so, I think. I mean that's why. 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.560 I honest, there's so many things. 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.080 That like I got ahead of time, like even like 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.960 my exercise equipment, and I got that for myself last 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.040 year in December, and then when quarantine and stuff hit, 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:06.640 I was like, oh my goodness, thank goodness I did. 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.320 So the thing that it taught me was like not 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.800 to wait on certain things. Not I mean, obviously you 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.600 don't want to be tricking up all your money, but 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.360 if there's something that you're really wanting and if it's 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.960 within your budget, not to wait because there's no guarantee 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.039 you'll have access later. 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.200 So you know, yeah, that's right. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.160 You can't even get like weights anymore. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:25.960 Yeah. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.200 I had heard that, like exercise equipment is still in hot, 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:30.520 in high demand. 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.720 Because people are anticipating getting kind of like quarantined again. 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.320 So I was just like, I'm just so glad because 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.479 literally what I asked for for Christmas from everyone, I 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:38.839 was like, can you give me exercise stuff? 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.520 Like I yoga mad and I got weight. 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.240 I got all these things, and I was just like 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.680 people were like, you can't even get a treadmill. I 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.640 just got a treadmill in December, so it was just 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.640 I was just really fortunate and it just taught me. 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:59.799 To be like Tippany got the good. 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.480 Sit there looking at me, like girl, it does. 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.440 I'm like what, and uh, whereabouts in the house do 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:07.400 you keep this equipment?

I was like, it's yours, but we 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:13.440 just share it. 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.560 You know, this is my zen den is in progress. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.120 I did a lot of cleanup and I am starting on. 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.920 You know, I'm going to start really investing more time 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:28.040 in making the zen den nice. And you know, husband's 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.960 got his little zone, he's got his little area, but 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.680 mama needs some space and I'm going to get it. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.080 It's going to be really nice. It's going to be 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.400 like part office, part workout, part like read a book 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.080 on a comfy chair, you know, escape from me. 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:42.440 No, that sounds awesome. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.720 Honestly, I was proud of myself this past week because 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.520 like off and on, like my shoulder has been like 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.560 hurting because I just assume cause I've been just you know, 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.600 you work more and I'm like, I'm right, I'm right 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.160 hand and it's my right shoulder. So I gone to 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:56.840 the doctor for which I was proud of myself. This 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.080 is like some months back, and remember that time, like 0:07:59.080 --> 0:07:59.960 I got pulled everything. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.680 I was like, many everything it's pulled about back. But 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.840 then when we were first oh, then I was like, 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.760 oh my god, everything is gone. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.520 And then everything, like you know, within like a week 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.920 or so, felt better and cleared up. But then this 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:16.160 I just had this like shoulder like it just didn't 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:17.360 feel right. And I was like, oh, maybe because I'm 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.880 sleeping on my side too much. So I went to 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.000 a physical therapy for like maybe just a few weeks 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:23.480 and then I'm like I'm too busy for this. And 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.920 then recently it really just started like hurting again. And 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:30.280 then I was reading this book called Contagious I think 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:31.960 I shared with you guys last week or no, maybe 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.800 the Catalyst by Jonah Berger. Anyway, he said that people 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.040 that sometimes it's actually worse to It was so weird, 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:39.440 so I'm. 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:40.720 Like, is this is this God talking? 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.360 Because he said it sometimes it's actually worse to sprain 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.720 your your your shoulder than it is or to sprain 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.240 your arm than it is to break your arm. 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.079 And I was like wait, cause. 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:54.480 He was trying to explain how people don't change when 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.480 something is mild. That like, when you sprain your arm, 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.520 you're like, you're more likely to deal with it. You're like, oh, 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.720 you know, the barrier to change. It's like, it's not 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.000 that bad. I can live with it, it'll go away. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.079 But if you break your arm, it's you can't live 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.000 with a broken arm. You go to the doctor, you 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.800 get your treatment. And I just was thinking that to 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.360 myself that oftentimes having a sprained arm actually has bigger 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.199 and long lasting more and more of like a larger 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.160 and long lasting effect than a broken arm. And I thought, wow, 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.560 that is what I'm doing. I'm like, it's not so bad, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.920 it's just it hurts just a little, not all the time. 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.199 So I made it my priority. I want to physical 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.719 therapy because you could do walk in for up to 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.959 a month with my insurance. You don't have to get 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.160 like a doctor's like you know script. I was a 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.960 physical therapy and she was like yes, she's like, honestly, Tiffany, 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.400 it's just wear and tear. Basically, you sleep on your 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.920 side for like the last you know, forty one years. 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:48.840 And she's like, then, you know, you work a lot 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.480 in a computer also too. I played tennis from second 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.680 grade all throughout college, you know, and I'm right handed. 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:57.480 So she was just like, it's wear and tear. 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.400 But the thing is like, if you didn't come men, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.560 and you didn't kind of like retrain the other muscles 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.280 around whatever, like the muscle in my shoulder that's been 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.880 weakened or whatever, then it could be permanent damage. So 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.160 I was just really glad that I want and I 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.080 encourage you if you're like I need a sign. 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:13.719 This is it. 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.760 Like if there's that little niggling ache, that little like, 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.959 well I can no go get a checked out, honestly 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.600 because something that could be so mild at first that 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.559 if you would have taken care of it. And like, 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.800 because she said there's probably six weeks of six weeks 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.439 of therapy three days a week, which is a big commitment, 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:33.520 or you could just not use the arm in two years, 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:33.959 I was like, you. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.280 Know what, I want to use my arm. I'll keep it. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.560 Thanks, I'll keep there no scrus. You're right, and I 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.440 think a lot of well, first of all, I do 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.840 feel like women, it's so much easier for us to 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.880 put ourselves last when it comes to healthcare appointments. I mean, 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.360 my son has been to the doctor, like I feels 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.360 like one hundred million times this year, and I haven't 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.200 been since I had him. I was like, well, I 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.520 mean everything was fine when he was born, so I 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.319 guess I'm still fine. I do, yeah, I need to 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:00.840 do like a check up and stuff. And I think 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:04.720 with like COVID times in the pandemic, it's also easier 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.959 to put that stuff off because you say, well, it's 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.680 not really safe to be out, but it's almost to 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.520 this at this point. The virus is a risk, yes, 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.320 but there's so many other ways to die, Like there's 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.720 also still a lot of other things that could be wrong, 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.520 so getting yourself checked out is important. So thanks for 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.880 that reminder. TIF. I'm gonna I thought I did pretty 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.880 good because I you know, got my prescription renewed for 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.960 my glasses, so everyone's always where my glasses are from. 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:29.960 I'm about to get some new one. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:34.960 Yeah, and I start my start my like coaching on 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:36.920 on Friday, so I'm excited about that. I was like, 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:38.480 you know, I feel like I want to lean into it. 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.200 Like i feel like I'm in a new season of 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.560 self care, you know, like. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:44.559 A new season of self care. 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.560 Yeah, because I'm always like can I always tell myself like, well, Tiffany, 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:49.960 you work on yourself a lot. I'm like, no, you 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.800 work on your business, you know, woman, Tiffany, don't get 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.040 it confused. And so I was like, this is true, 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.480 Like am I really taking care of myself? Like I'm 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.720 walking like more because I really enjoy walking, listening to 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.359 like podcasts and books for the enjoyment of it, and 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.640 so like I, you know, it's easy to pour into 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.840 the budgetista, but I have not been pouring into Tiffany. 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.240 And I'm just really like, I don't want to look 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.000 up and be like, girl, you have not like you know, 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.480 what do you do that you enjoy for you? And 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.080 are you taking care of yourself? I'm still young, and 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:22.880 I don't want to, like, you know, I want to 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.520 because I look at my father. For example, He's seventy seven. 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.280 He still plays tennis three times a week. I mean 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.600 when outside was open. He's still really active. And that's 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.959 he's always prioritized things that he's enjoyed, you know. And 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.760 I and as a result, because he never stopped moving, 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.440 he can continue to move, you know. And so I 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.000 just thought about that like, huh, I want to be 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:47.000 seventy seven like Daddy and continue to like enjoy life 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:51.000 and and you know, and exercise and like he's just 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.160 always been like that. So I'm just like, yeah, Like, if, 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.480 like I said, if you're looking for a sign to 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.679 enter into your your your stage of self care, whatever 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.679 that looks it's like, then do so totally deserve it. 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.839 Yes, do it. Do it. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.800 One of one of the best things I did this 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.320 year for my body, other than get the peloton, which 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.920 really has been so amazing, it's gonna it's get a 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.400 proper desk chair. And I know we have got some 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.319 listeners out there who are sitting in there, like, you know, 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.760 taking the dining room chair, the trip that used to 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.520 do their makeup in, or like the holding chair. Yeah, 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.440 because you're the lawn chair. You're like, have a little 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.840 hap you know, you have your little cobble together workstation. 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.800 It's been a long time and if you're if you're 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:36.800 lucky enough to work from home, you know, we're all 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.880 so fortunate if we can still work from home and 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.080 be safe. But get yourself a proper desk chair, because 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.520 when I tell you Wayfair dot Com, I got the 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.280 most I got this really great chair and it has 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.240 changed up or I'm like, I forgot what it feels like. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.160 My butt feels amazing, it doesn't like go numb. After 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.840 an hour, got lumbar support. It took me so long, 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.200 and I wish I had done this sooner because my 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.240 back and all the eggs and stuff, even my legs 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.760 would be tired. So that's something small if you're looking 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.520 for like a Christmas gift. I don't think a good 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.760 dust chair would would ever be a bad thing to 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.360 get for yourself or ask a loved one to get 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.240 you tifty. Did you say that you don't have a hat. 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.000 I mean I have a chair that I mean it 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.160 is a desk chair technically, and it's really cute, but 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:26.960 I suspect exactly. So one thing that my my physical 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.320 therapist said, uh, doctor Lewis, He said, I got one 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.000 of those, one of those like it looks like a 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.880 like a like a cylinder, like a cylinder. 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.160 Pillow, have to get wet a lumbar support. 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.640 Yeah, so I'm actually I have a nag right now. 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.000 And he said it's to remind you to like, you know, 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:44.880 sit up, and I have some exercises to do at 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:48.240 home in between my in between my appointments, and so 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.360 I'm sitting with it right now and I can feel 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.640 the difference it is. He's like, it's a reminder to 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.960 kind of like sit back. So because I've got a 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.080 really terrible posture. I started slouching when I started to 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.400 grow tall, and I was like, because I did and want, 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:04.040 you know, to be tall, and so like he's just like, 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:05.480 you know, So I ordered it as soon as I 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.600 got home because he sent me like, you know what 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:08.160 to get? 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.600 So yeah, no, you're right. I said that at too. 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.440 I was like, I want to possibly switch out this chair, 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.760 maybe find one because I'm gonna be in the chair 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.920 a lot, or you know what I really want, Because 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.480 didn't you used to have to say when you worked 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:22.880 at Yahoo you had a standing desk? 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:23.880 Did you have a standing desk? 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.240 Yeah, I've always had a standing desk. We had one 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.840 at my old office. Got I haven't been there forever. 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:29.480 Yeah. 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.680 Standing desks are actually really easy to come by now. 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.680 You can get one for not that much on Amazon 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.680 or Wayfair or any of those sites. And if you 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.720 don't want like a full on standing desk, which you 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.280 know you have to like plug it into an outlet 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.680 and it goes up and down with a button. I've 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:46.320 seen you can also get these little kind of like 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.720 a breakfast in bedtray, but it's for your laptop and 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.600 it goes up and down and you can put it 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.120 on your desk like or on your kitchen counter or whatever, 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.040 and you can put you just put that up and 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.240 down versus having to move a whole desk. Those have 0:15:59.320 --> 0:15:59.880 worked for people. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:01.560 Yeah, I think I was going to get one of 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.360 those two because actually, you know, just to have like 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:07.200 a different like you know exactly. 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.040 So, I mean obviously, sitting all day is never a 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.520 good no matter how comfortable your chair is, you don't 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.480 want to be sitting all day. But yeah, I don't know, 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.480 I can't believe we haven't talked about before, but yeah, 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.160 getting like an ergonomic setup, oh it means, it sounds, 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.560 it sounds luxurious. And hey, ask your company if they 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.960 will reimburse you if you work for a company. I 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.720 know our company reimbursed up to five hundred dollars for 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.040 work at home supplies, and it still took me months 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:33.760 until I order mine. I was like, oh, it's going 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.280 to expire December. First, let me let me get that chair. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.680 But yeah, just see, you know, you never know what 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.680 benefits you might be leaving on the table, and it makes, 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.280 like I said, a big difference. What else can we 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:46.680 tell the people eat your spinach? 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.560 No, but definitely like look into you because you're right 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.520 fsay it. Like I this is always the time of 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.600 year that my husband because he wears glasses even though 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.760 he doesn't work. I'm like, you should definitely, you know, 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:57.600 you want to make sure that if you have money, 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.400 that you're not leaving and money kind of like on 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.880 the table and lean in and use it because it's 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.639 your Especially with with HSA, you don't lose it, but 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.359 with FSA, if you don't use it, you lose it. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.240 You do sometimes it will roll over to the next quarter, 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.800 but double check. F s A store dot com is 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.000 one of my favorites because everything there, but even like 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:22.399 CBS and Walgreens, they all label stuff FSA approved or 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:26.680 FSA eligible. Just don't do what I did and stock 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:31.080 up on baby sunscreen. Listen, a baby is very small, 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.479 they don't need the sunscreen and that stuff expires, so 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.680 look at these dates, like damn, I think I might 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.200 have put it on him, Like twice yo, that is 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:43.359 to be in the sun like that, So why do 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.880 they even sell it? 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:50.080 Like, well, if your baby lives in zimbopers but if not, 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:51.720 you might not need all the sunscreen. 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:56.520 Oh they don't. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:57.080 Got that much skin. 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:57.399 I know. 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.199 I'm like trying to lather it on him, like he 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:05.440 really doesn't. But you're gonna use the subscridhal He's fine, 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:06.600 He's fine, It's fine. 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.240 Yeah. No, But that's a good end of your nearing 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.160 the end of the year, and I think now it's 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:12.639
