OOhh.Sunday Pakige! I wonder what this one is?
Edit: turned out to be my shower stool. I will now be able to wash my feet properly without getting stuck sitting on the floor and struggling to get back up because there is no room to manoeuvre in there.
I just googled my old place, and saw they've flipped the place very quickly. It looks amazing, and it's gone from a two bedroom to three. I'm happy to see my bamboo and cherry tree kept their places.
Funnily enough what inspired me to do a search was an article in the Age about dodgy real estate agents buying houses cheaply from their own vendors to flip for profit. It would not surprise me at all to find there was a touch of that with this place - not completely dodgy like the guys in the article, but probably a quick easy sale at a lower price than it could have gotten because the seller is an absent old lady who is easy to persuade to sell for a low price. But to be honest I don't really care much even if that did happen, I'm just happy we've got her into a good place now and the future path with any care needs is all mapped out, the whole situation with moving a parent and myself and selling two houses at the same time was all a bit much happening at once.
The first weight set has been delivered. Today's substitue weight workout will be carrying the weights in and unpacking them.
I think they have the ability to check using their own system if your payment method has an active fare against it. The system has to hold the info open so you can tap off again to finalise the actual amount you are paying.
The treadmill is now inside and unpacked. That counts as a workout in itself. Disposing of all the foam packing and the box it came in will also be a bit challenging. It folds away easily and neatly as advertised and can be moved fairly easily too. It seems solid and the belt is big enough I can run comfortably on it (for about 5 seconds, then exhaustion sets in). I probably should put shoes on if I want to do more than a very quick test though!
I still need to work out the best place to put it. At the moment I've got it under my desk, I'm not sure if it would be better to leave it there and move it if I want to sit at the desk, or to put it somewhere else entirely. I'll probably try a few different spots and then decide. It's very easy to move on the hard floor, fairly easy on a hard mat, and a bit hard on carpet as the wheels sink in and don't roll properly.
According to Kogan my treadmill was shipped today and could take up to 2 weeks to arrive. According to my camera it is sitting at my front door.
The standard watches definitely feel too big these days. I got a Samsung Fit3 which is smaller. It's fairly limited in what it does but covers everything I need it to do.
I've just put an order in for some new bands for my fit watch, as the silicone bands tend to irritate my wrist fairly quickly. I stopped wearing the last watch because of that issue, it didn't have a replaceable band.
There are lots of different band types available now, plus protective covers for the watch itself and various bits of bling you can clip on too. I've ordered a few different types , so will be able to do dark and boring to match my work uniform or bright and colourful when I feel like being a bit more fun.
I'm definitely glad I bought the van last year, it uses almost half the amount of fuel as the old car did.
I'm going to have to fill my van with petrol today, so not particularly.
That's been my general approach too, but it's not been the most stable approach. Especially when I've been working in the garden and they've gotten filthy and need a good scrub. Which is why I tried the sitting down approach at one point, but on a slippery surface with no hand holds and very little space getting up again was a bit challenging. Now I can either sit down or have something to put my foot on, I consider it a big improvement.
