Perspiration Pals August 6, 2024

Hello, lovelies, and Happy Tuesday! How is everyone doing? I am not doing that great as I got blessed with a UTI from hell and am currently on a round of antibiotics as my usual cranberry pills have proven ineffective. My urethra is cursed so I decided to skip today's workout as I suspect getting sweaty is what caused this in the first place.

I know I am not Ivett, but I have a great fact for everyone today. Did you know that the world's first long distance driver was a woman? Specifically Berta Benz (yes, as in Mercedes) who honestly sounds like and incredibly fun woman and why did I never hear about her before? "She cleaned a blocked fuel line with her hat pin and used her garter as insulation material." I'm using her from now on whenever a man starts making noises about women being bad drivers, even though I don't even have a license:

I don't have links today because I haven't been on youtube this week but since the gymnastics competition has ended at the Olympics, I found myself wondering: why is female gymnastics more popular and exciting than men's? Is it because they have better costumes? Is because beam and floor let them show more personality? Is it because watching pommel horse is incredibly boring (no disrespect to the skill and strength it takes)?

Ok, I do have some links because Tumblr is eating my brain. For Harry Potter fans/nostalgics, did you ever notice this?

Look how cute this is (with sound please)!

Ok, I'm off. Let me know what you are all doing and have a great day!
