Happy June?

 Just a quick vent: 
My 2 pleasures are eating and working out to music.
Since Covid, restaurants are charging more while giving less.
Now my favorite workout subscriptions are starting to do the same.
Worse of all after killing 100s of thousands with his incompetence, tRUMP and his cult are still poisoning our mental health with violence, division, and hate.
Life will never be as good and hopeful as it was again.

I just discovered that you can watch The Roku Channel without owning a ROKU.  Just Download the ROKU Channel app on your mobile (not the official Roku app) or go to https://therokuchannel.roku.com/.
The channel has some free original content that looks worth a try.

I will be scheduling cataract surgery on my other eye in about 6-7 weeks.
Recovery has been smooth, especially after discovering Pataday to relieve itchiness. 
I can see better far and inbetween distance out of the multi-focal iol without glasses and hope having the other eye done will improve both without losing most of my nearsighted vision. 
The multifocal lens my doc uses has UV and blue light filtered out so that is why I do not need sunglasses!

ZdancerLiz is changing her billing options.  
The live zoom classes will no longer be free.
There will only be 8 classes a month instead of 10.
Her website should reflect these changes starting July 1st.
Though all will cost more, there will be a private without ads you tube option though some tunes may be deleted

WalkingOnlineWorkouts (WOW) is also officially cutting back to 2 new routines a month even though weekly new routines seemed to end awhile ago.

I have been enjoying the music in the WOW vids.  I do alot of fast forwarding during ZDancerLiz vids because I do not click as much with Latin music.  Her 8 Google Drive vids a month will include 4 Dance Fitness Cardio vids for $15.  Both WOW and Groove Fitness work great with WVC  and ROKU and are still just $10 a month each so I may be leaning towards those subs every other month and skipping any new vids from Liz (I have a whole year of Liz's vids on Google Drive).  It is more about convenience than money.  Much more content at my fingertips with WOW and Groove Fitness and less need of downloading and storage space.  I still have lots of music only edited workout files I have never done too.

Love those deactivated Tracfones!
Each year I buy a new Tracfone bundle for less money than a new annual card.
I almost ordered a new FIOS remote control for a set-top box but discovered any of our mobiles with the FIOS TV app can be used as a remote and actually works better!  I have so many uses for our deactivated Tracfones.  One of them with a free casino slot app which now has almost 300 billion credits is also useful for its alarm which just reminded me for the 4th morning in a row to use my anti-inflammatory eye drop.
One thing I love about android phones is the Google Podcast app.
I can listen to Podcasts in bed which oddly puts me to sleep LOL.

Finally put an SD card in my newest Tracfone even though it still will not enable some Verizon content.  During the attempt, the Sim card fell out and I had quite the time trying to place it back in.  Good thing I am tenacious.

The last day of June, I decided to give ZDancerLiz another month to see if there will be more new tunes. I fast forward through many repeats and Latin tunes and hope new content and variety will be added in July.
