Nirv, were you replying to Infi?
Was the kerfuffle your sauna being delivered?

If so I think you should apologise for being skunky drunk.

I've never seen a sauna like that. I didn't know there were portable ones.

I am not sure how to react to it. I'm tempted to laugh, but at the same time, there are times I've got a chill in my bones and it looks like it would be really cozy. Is there a comfortable chair in there? Do you set it up in front of the TV and just hang out all evening? I'd probably like to do that. But just look at it. It's ridiculous! I'm so torn.

LMAO Glatt! Steam Saunas similar to this were standard equipment in the old fashioned gyms. This is an infrared dry heat. Yes you sit in it with your head out the top covered or not. 45 minutes is optimal sauna time. This sauna cost $160. Compare to a fabulous 5 person sauna that I may get when [if] I build a new house at $4000. This works just the same and I can watch TV. If I want to take it down it takes 5 minutes and fits in a bag.

I think this kind of sauna was in a James Bond film once upon a time.

Just finished 22.11.63
I think.
It's hard to get the date right in that format. Weird since 24 hour clock was such a logical and easy transition for me.

Anyway, will write it up (don't get too excited) in the book thread.
Just pleased I finished it.

Because it was a (secondhand) hardback and was weighing my bag down. And Diz tries to attack books if I am reading with the duvet tented on my knees. Paperbacks I can hold. Hardbacks get knocked out of my hands.

It was a fun book too. Nice to see King revisiting old themes.

There was a prisoner episode, I'm pretty sure where he is locked in one and the heat is turned up to 11. Maybe Austin Powers?

I'm sleeping pretty well despite my quitting all of my depression/bipolar/sleep meds.

The sleeping sounds like a good strategy in that case.

Moar, is it wise to stop all your meds in one fell swoop?

My mom left her 4 inch clogs at the base of the stairs. I was carrying down the vacuum and luckily was stepping down slowly. Almost twisted my ankle as I stepped on one, falling down slowly with the vacuum and all. I was like, "Oh my god! Why the heck did you leave 4 inch clogs at the base of the stairs?!!?" I was yelling while rubbing my ankle on the ground. My mom retorted that they have been there and that I'm only complaining because I stepped on it. Yes, it was my fault.
