Diets, Decaf & Other Dubious Deeds

i just thought of something. all this time my dr has been harping about cutting carbs. there's a whole bunch of folks at work who are eating low carb diets and working out and they look exactly the same as when i started there 3 yrs ago.

so why am i going to need it? if they can't drop it i sure as hell won't.
 

it's 79° right now. supposed to get to 97° today. i think summer is officially here.

i'm trying to stay outta trouble and stay out of the controversial threads. i don't need the extra stress anyway. it's easier to sit in here and write and laugh at all the arguing. *heh* if these people were face to face i wonder if they would argue with such vigor. if they did i couldn't hang around with all that. sheesh!

we're having ceaser salad today in the grill. i gotta bag up portions of taco meat for our taco wraps. we bag them and freeze them and then pop the in the micro.

catch ya's later. wooooo!

if you're the praying sort i could use some of that too. :)

i think the hardest part of this virus for me, once i got past the initial fear of dying, is this business of being without hugs. i'm a hugger and this is tearing me apart. one of the boys i work with put his mask on and asked me if i needed a hug. he turned his head one way and i turned the other. i wouldn't have but i needed it so bad i was like in tears. lol! guess i'm old softy.
 
i see they're still going at it in the gf thread. the man's gone. arguing over his death won't bring him back. jmo

i decided today that i don't understand how a company can have 20 employees and maybe 5 do their job and do what their supposed to PLUS some of the other 15's work and yet the 15 get away with it. get away with not doing crap or doing it right. anymore this seems to be the excepted norm. back in the day if you didn't do your job, you got a warning. if you still didn't do your job, your 🤬 was fired.

now it's a constant cry of i forgot or i didn't know i was supposed to do that. outta people that have been there long enough to know better.

been keeping an eye on the grubby hands of my co-workers. they pull they're mask off and on with their gloves and paw on the outside of it and then don't wash or change gloves. they then touch the food and/or utensils. *shudders* it's a disgusting display.

it was 101° out today. *gasps*

it's too damn early for this 🤬 !
allergies and asthma bugging me. had a good sleep going too. oh well. i can nap later. *shrugs*

got a pick up time set for my groceries between 8 and 9 tonight. cooler a little then. since it was so hot outside yesterday the poor neighbor guy was out mowing at 9:30 last night. normally i would holler about a mower running at 10 PM but, i felt sorry for him. he might be a late sleeper or got off work in the heat of the day so i let it ride. it's easy to forget that kind of stuff when someone else does it for you. the landlord slaps on jeans and a long sleeve shirt and a sun hat and his shades and he's in and out in like 10 min. five to mow (rider) and 5 to weed whack and he's off.

it says 98° for today but, i bet we see triple digits easy again today. i don't remember summers being this hot and awful when i was a kid. if it had been i surely would've protested being outside in it. i was a fussy child. then again as i got to be a teen i was out walking in the winter weather and that didn't seem to bother me. who knows? *shrugs*
 

awake for real this time. coffee in hand and ready for the day i guess. it's 8:30 AM and already 80° outside. yikes! i think we went from winter to summer and skipped spring altogether.
 
today's word of the day in here is:

ignore
[iɡˈnôr]

VERB
refuse to take notice of or acknowledge; disregard intentionally.
"he ignored her outraged question"
synonyms:
disregard · take no notice of · pay no attention to · pay no heed to · pass over · shut one's eyes to · be oblivious to · turn a blind eye to · turn a deaf ear to · brush aside

this is what grown ups do when something annoys them.

that is all for today's lesson.

in the past 3 or 4 yrs we've had trouble with the neighbors running around out here in our yards on 4 wheelers and racing up and down the alley and being a royal nuisance. i've tried calling the police because it has been so bad and so disturbing. they ain't done crap.

so today i gave the landlord a call to see if there was something he could do. he put up a small fence. he will add to it if need be. i told him the cops were of no use. he was just peeved that they are tearing up the yard and concerned about property damage. we'll see if this helps.

They cheat.
 
so this is the real me. i don't see that it makes any difference which image i use because i'm still a dork and still who i am no matter what image i choose to use. so i don't really understand what the big deal is. it's just a picture. it's not who i am and i've never said it was. otherwise, i'd be a cat, a dog, a pig, a giraffe and many other things. i might just slap on a man avatar next. it's my right to make that call. oh yeah...i'm not pink sneakers either. but you all still talk to me. lol!
