Cross Season 1 & 2

Cross season 2 came out today! There are so far only 3 episodes to get you into the show and then it comes out every Wednesday! There are 8 episodes this season and it ends March 18th. 

Unfortunately I think season 2 is the end but honestly we will never know. These series are so good and are worth the binge. Valentines day is Saturday so it would be perfect for you to watch season one. 

Season one was a cliff hanger with a lot of different turns and plot twists in it. The people that seems to be bad end up being good. 

This show has some nudity and drug use in it. There is also good cop bad cop kind of thing going on. 

Cross's wife ends up being murdered along with a bunch of other people and he goes through a lot trying to find out who did it and each way he turns things change and makes it look like other people are in on it. 

This is based off of James Patterson's Book but let me tell you the series is so good, I could not help but binge it when it first came out. The plot was story rich and it pretty much shows things that could happen or makes things appear differently.

Roku cameras

I do not recommend Roku cameras. I went through three of these things. The first one it kept dying quickly so I got replacement. 

The second one decided it wanted to burn up. Smelled something funny when it was charging and unplugged it to find a burn spot and the charger melted and it was the charger it came with. 

The batteries give the wrong reading on the app and it takes a while to authentication so things can happen before you can even look at the video. Sometimes the camera do not even read in front of them even if you set the detectors. 

I am suppose to get video feed back of everything but yet I only get pictures with nothing in them but yet the camera detected something. 

Another thing is that the camera would have trouble with the backdoor and would barely stay connected. 

These cameras also desync a lot and when you try to see what is going on you have to go restart it since the app can't find it and say it's offline.

A first I was happy with Roku now I am disappointed in them. 

We are moving to Wyze. 

Memory

Any kind of memory issues change the way you move through the world. They don’t just make you forget things—they make you second-guess yourself. I live with memory problems, and there are moments when my mind simply slips. I forget things that once felt automatic. There have been times when I had to stop and think about how to get into a car or how to sit down, replaying the steps in my head before my body could follow.

I forget how to spell words I’ve known for years. I forget how to say things the way I mean them. Sometimes my thoughts are there, but the path to them feels broken. It can be frustrating, embarrassing, and exhausting in ways that are hard to explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it.

To cope, I write things down. I set alarms. I slow myself down and move through tasks carefully, one step at a time. When I still can’t figure things out, I ask for help. That isn’t easy, but I’m grateful to have a support system that doesn’t judge me—people who are patient, understanding, and willing to meet me where I am on my harder days.

In many ways, this was always a possibility. Before I was even born, my mother was in a serious car accident. Doctors warned that I might have neurological issues later in life. As I’ve grown older, those warnings have started to make sense. What once felt distant has slowly become part of my reality.

Living with this has given me a deeper understanding of people with dementia and Alzheimer’s. The confusion. The fear of losing pieces of yourself. The frustration of knowing who you are but struggling to access it. It has taught me empathy in a way nothing else could.

This is why keeping the mind active and cared for matters. But just as important is patience—especially self-patience. Memory loss doesn’t take away a person’s worth. It doesn’t erase intelligence, love, or identity. It simply means the journey looks different, and sometimes slower. And that deserves understanding, not judgment.

Automatic chess board

 If you know someone who has dementias and or Alzheimer's and like chess, you can get them this chess set that automatically moved.

 This allows them to play chess and need no one to play with because the board plays itself and moves the chess pieces to where they need even if they jump over their chess piece. 

This can also teach people how to play chess too if they are not sure how.

Amazon has a few boards that does that also. - Shop Automatic Chess here!

Husband and Gout and RA

 My husband has real bad gout. He also has Rheumatoid Arthritis. His gout flares up throughout his elbows, wrist, hands, knees, feet and occasionally the ribs. It just now recently spread to his feet and his toes are no longer curled like they use to be. 

He also gets knots on his feet and ankles when it starts and then he has the pain and swelling. When his elbow starts it gets hard and turns red. 

It apparently is straightening them out but his other toes on the other foot is curled still. The RA is not good either because it makes it hard for him to move and just overall is not pleasurable and I honestly hate to watch him suffer and he cannot do anything and I cannot
do anything to help him until it goes down. 

He learned that his shoes where one of the causes. He was told he wore 13s but he got to looking and he realized that they were to big and his foot had to much room and was bouncing around the shoe and causing ungodly amount of pain. 

He ended up going to Walmart and finding out he is a 10.5 however, he only wears high-tops because it supports his ankle and hamstring especially when he flares but. He also learned that the 10.5 is hurting him a little because his feet
swells and he needs something a little wider and we finally got him some wide and he is doing a lot better.

I also got him a cane. Well two canes. One has a arms rest like thing to help him get up and use the cane as support. The other cane has springs on the bottom and it helps him move around since it recoils back to him. 

He also uses a walker when he cannot walk as good with the cane. 

He has an armrest well two armrest for his computer because he works from home and his elbow swells out to the point he cannot lay it anywhere but the armrest helps because he can lay it on there and it helps so he is still able to use his arm. 

He highly recommends getting lightweight shoes so they are not heavy on the foot and get shoes that allows your feet to breathe in. He also suggests heating pads because it can help it also. Lots to rest and hydration and be sure to know what causes your flare ups. There are foods that are suppose to be avoided. 

His flare ups are sugary drinks, seafood. He also does have random flare ups.

We do use roll on the Nervive pain relief and that works better with RA flare ups.

Sometimes his gout flare ups and Rheumatoid flare ups look the same and it often time is hard to distinguish it so we treat both the same.

There was also this foot rub salve cayenne pepper that works great on it but we unfortunately can no longer find it.

Here is the gout diet.

The steal| Prime Video

 The steal is an Amazon Prime Video series. 

A group of people that goes on a heist and steal from a multi-billion pension fund company.

 This series is brand new and is a British crime thriller. 

There are plot twists in this series that you don't even believe. Two of the workers end up being forced to be in on the heist along with the rest of the building being forced to cooperate and approve the trades that they want done. 

But then the two that did it for the people heisting ended up stealing money from them somehow and it is just all over the place.

They do everything for them all while they all are trying to survive. Anything hidden in the company ends up coming to light so there is no more hiding the truth. 

This show is not slow. It pretty much sped into action. 

There are only 6 episodes in season one.

Wide Toe Box Mens Walking Sneakers

 These shoes are lightweight and my husband likes these since he has gout and his feet flares up to the point he cannot wear his original shoes. These shoes are comfortable and he is not in agony trying to walk. 

These shoes have wide box so he is able to stretch his feet more and and not have the top of the shoe compress into his feet especially when they swell from the gout flare ups and attack. 

These shoes are great because he has to use a cane and walker and he ends up having to drag his foot because sometimes it hurts to bad to actually walk on it.

These shoes have good grip and that is what I wanted for him so he would not slide. 

Get these shoes here!

If you are looking for a simulator pair, I highly suggest Fitville. They specialize in lightweight walking shoes that have wide toe boxes and are perfect for those who feet swell or have gout. Their shoes are just the same! They also have shoes that has a close on top instead of the tying it. I highly recommend these shoes also!
