Diets, Decaf & Other Dubious Deeds

I feel myself beginning that fade into sleepyville. Last night I slept like a rock. The grill special for Thursday is Reubens and soup maybe?

I'll have to pick up groceries after work. It's time for eyes to close. Night.
 
Today's grill special is Reubens and Fries. The villagers will love that. Should be busy on our side of the cafeteria today. The Hot Entree section is gonna be shoveling crap today.
~*~
The way we're set up, you come in and get your utensils...used to be trays there too...then there's a breakfast section, donut case, hot entree section, sandwich bar, dessert bar, grill and then smack in the middle is an L shaped salad bar. Our salad bar got listed in the paper a while back as the best in town. Now however, since it's prepackaged and very limited it sucks rocks.
~*~
Supposed to be near 80F with a chance for rain. I have grocery pick up tonight after work then I'm off till Saturday.

Alright kids...play nice & have a great day.
 

Been a very long, busy and irritating day. I'm off tomorrow thank God. Having tuna salad sammies and lettuce salad for dinner. Too pooped to even microwave tonight.
 
COVID19: is it here to stay?

Life On The Sofa
According to this free to read Washington Post link...the coronavirus is going to be here with us for quite some time. Which means people will have to choose whether to remain in self isolation or whether to go out and expose themselves in the name of economic support. For myself personally, I have no interest in sitting in a busy restaurant with other patrons of potential death. I have no interest in shopping in busy stores with other shoppers of the developing slaughter on human life.
~♥~
I'm perfectly ok with a life of couch potatoism. I'm perfectly ok with online shopping. I'm perfectly ok with wearing a mask & handwashing. I'm perfectly ok with keeping my distance from others. If these are the things it takes to keep me alive then so be it. If I have to choose between these things and drowning on my own lung fluid or dying from blod clots then so be it. Am I perfectly safe from getting it? Probably not. But, this is one time where I will definitely agree that it doesn't hurt to try.
~♥~
So, what will life look like from the sofa? Gonna hafta get off it & start exercising more or I will get fatter & die anyway. Gonna hafta find stuff to do to keep myself & my mind busy & entertained for sure. Getting healthy foods could be an issue if we run into shortages. May have to shop online with a different mindset. Take whatever is available & suffer the rest. Not too many sugar free cookies flying off the shelves so, I'm ok with that. LOL!
~♥~
May have to do a little more planning for trips out of the house. Plan things for same day to cut down on the outings & the possible risks. As for my need for human contact...I got that at work if & when I need it. Is it a perfect solution...no. But, in this life of uncertainty that we are now in, I will take what I can get. We may all have to start re-evaluating our lives & our activities & start making adjustments in order to survive this new normal that may be here to stay.
 
Morning. Slept like a log so I should be ok today. Forecast is 83° & sunny for today. Should make my mask wearing pretty unpleasant. The older I get, the less interested I become in being employed. May have to start considering going to a 4 day work week. That way I'd still get my health ins. May have to do something at any rate.

Have a good day y'all.
 
The Huffington Post did a story on a covid case that came from that little soiree in the Ozarks. 😮

I'm not surprised. People just refuse to take this seriously. It's not my desire to end up dead because some jackal decided he needed to go party with his friends. They could at least try to have some common sense in the midst of a pandemic.

Cases in Kansas are up to 9841 with 215 deaths.

Yes but, when was this @Pinky ?
I don't recall having to wear a mask or hearing a thing about it.

Sars was in 2003 .. I was living in Australia. A friend back then, a hospital tech had to stay at the hospital. I assume the medical staff would have been wearing full cover-up gear.

Interesting. I never heard about any of them until this yr.
 
Coffee break is almost over. I'm ready to get this done and go home. Tomorrow I have to get my bloodwork done for my doc appt the 11th. I gotta get with the program and start shedding this weight before I kill myself.
 
I will never understand violence or the need for it anywhere at anytime. I think it is extremely sad that people and counties can't get along with one another and have the desire to harm each other or kill each other. It solves nothing. It only builds more hate. One thing none of us need. More hate. There are many things I don't understand about our world. Like why it's so hard for people to wear masks and distance themselves to avoid all of us possibly dying.

Why women feel the need to abort babies or kill their children. Why men and women kill each other rather than get divorced when there is domestic issues. Why people are so awful to one another. None of it has ever made any sense to me. I doubt it ever will. I can't even begin to understand how God could look at us and still love us enough to want us.

In this time of extreme isolation I have been more at peace by not being around the hatred of the world so much. But it saddens me that there are so few others who have any real desire to be kind to others anymore.
 

~pulls up a chair~

Finally here. I had to go to the clinic to get my bloodwork done. Only one vial this time. Wonder why? Anyway, it is difficult for me to lose the weight because A. I love to eat & B. I hate exercise.
Exercise is uncomfortable & I get started & get going good for a while & then something happens like I get sick for several weeks & get off track. I don't get sick as much when I'm NOT exercising which I don't understand at all. LOL!
~♥~
I wonder if it has to do with my asthma/COPD. So, I decided to choose less strenuous excerise. We'll see what happens with that. I'm looking at Tai Chi, yoga, tae bo (all for seniors except for Baron Baptiste's workouts) plus I'm looking at NIA workouts. Those look kinda fun without all that jumping around. Because of my lung issues I have to take breaks often during a workout that's fairly strenuous to catch my breath or hit the inhaler. But, at least I try.
~♥~
However, recently with this virus & having to mask all day, every day at work, I've been having an awful time with my energy level. My lungs are already stressed enough. I have concerns about coming home and stressing them more with a workout. I feel like my lungs need time to recuperate from being denied oxygen all day. Sadly it's a no win situation which is why I'm trying to do stuff that's not so taxing.
~♥~
I also enjoy those videos on YouTube that have the Just Dance game songs to dance to. I had the games but, I really just wanted them for the exercise. I modify as I go so, it ends up making the exercise more fun at least. Right now my only issue with the tai chi is that I don't have the patience for it. LOL!

One of the ladies I work with lost her mother Saturday at 4 AM. I feel bad for her. I hope she'll be ok. I know some of the others that have lost relatives have gotten very temperamental. Not sure why but they act like they hate everyone and everything. It makes me wonder if they're not allowing themselves time to grieve. It's not natural to not go through a grieving process. If you don't allow yourself the time to cry and unload it, you're just carrying that pain around. How awful is that?

They say upper 80s for today but, I'm sure it will hit 90 before it's over. We have an elevator in the parking garage I won't use in the summer because the afternoon sun bakes it all day and it's so hot that if it got stuck I feel like I would die in there before they got me out. So I never ride the elevator of death. I'd rather take my chances with the stairs.
 
I have got to stay out of those Covid threads. I keep clicking on What's New and ending up in there. LOL! That thread drives me crazy.
