Got bit by red ants this weekend while slacklining.... π
Made a paste of equal parts bentonite clay and turmeric powder and wrapped in gauze.
This relieved the itching. π
This morning, I unwrapped the gauze. The paste had hardened and was stuck to my foot. So I soaked the foot in a hot Epsom salt bath.
I noticed the bites had blistered. My inclination was to pop them, but Internet search said "no" ...so I applied a little lavender oil.
After breakfast, I applied more clay/turmeric paste. This is supposed to be good for the swelling.
Anyone know how long it takes for the blisters to go away? Or why I shouldn't pop them?! π

Trigger warning -- the recipes in my book include seed oils, as it was written before I knew of their toxic production process. If you cannot find non toxic seed oils, substitute with organic grass-fed ghee, duck fat, beef tallow, etc.
So there's no accident. Just a closure of the express lane??? Wtf.

Cars: escaping the gridlock of the express lane by driving over the plastic lane divider poles to freedom.
Me: wondering if FL enforces the driving over poles fine of $160 π€
Raiding the bag of snacks in the trunk....
Me: sitting in gridlock bc I ignored waze's suggested route that would have added 10 miles.
Waze (in a mocking tone):are you still going to the park?
It was so windy at the beach this evening... Made slacking a bit more of a challenge.
A bystander said she had been watching me "go on and off the line for a while" ...and was wondering "when I was going to start"
π
I told her that was my practice. I go up and down and eventually I canstay on the line and walk it. I explained I don't get out to practice much so I'm not at the level as the "kids" that are usually out here on the trick lines.
I also let her know the kids would be arriving soon.
She hung out a bit longer and took this video of me finally making it halfway across π

Good morning π€ΈββοΈ
Been slacking on the handstand notes, as my attention shifted to IRL connections and priorities.
I am continuing to practice and will post if I have an insight, or make some meaningful progress. For now, grinding at a snails pace is not super exciting content π
Hope everyone has a great weekend π₯
Week 15
Continuing with the instruction to kick up without using the wall....
Notes from #handstandpractice
Feeling stronger but effortless balance is still elusive.
Missed my birthday balance goal, but now I have another 365 days to try to attain itπ
