I was thinking about something today

I was thinking about my mother being in a nursing home now and how nursing homes will have to start changing a bit soon. People now-a-days are computer addicts. Computers are used for so many things like online banking, life insurance quotes online, keeping in touch with friends and family and for entertainment purposes.

Nursing homes will have to have either computer rooms set up or wireless access in the residents rooms. I know when my time comes to go to a nursing home (I know that time will come) I won’t go without my computer!! My mom’s generation don’t really use computers. I know my mom doesn’t really trust them with personal information and stuff. But people today are connected at the hip to their electronics.

I can just picture the nursing homes of the future… Now you hear big band music and stuff.. in the future you’ll be hearing rock, rap, country and a lot of other types of music. The old ladies will be wearing mini-skirts, heels, and makeup. It will be a whole different world!

Exercise

The best way I found to exercise is my IPod Shuffle. I just crank it up and hop on my elliptical. I can do at least 25 minutes easily while listening to my music. After I get done I get busy cleaning and dancing around to the music. My IPod is like taking energy pills and there aren’t any bad side effects. The good side effects are energy, weight loss and a clean house!

I can crank up the music and not bother the neighbors or hubby. I used to blast music when I’d clean the house before anything like an IPod was around but I could only do that if hubby wasn’t home or he was out in the garage working on a car or his boat. Yesterday I danced around while vacuuming and that was after a 25 minute workout on the elliptical. It lifts my mood and makes me want to clean, clean, clean!
