Diets, Decaf & Other Dubious Deeds

I don't think I can keep my eyes open much longer.
 

If I had PSTD I would've thought I'd been left to sleep until the first "bomb" went off at 8:46 this morning. *Takes a swig of coffee & curses* Morning. Happy 4th I suppose. I'm starting to question my intelligence at enjoying fireworks when I was a kid. They're not that fantastic. They're just explosives with pretty light. They're loud, they're smoky and a PITA for those of us trying to sleep. I guess I'm over it. Used to be we got one day. One day to blow fireworks. One day to trick or treat on Halloween. If mother nature showed up and ruined it that was it till next year. Now the little wads get 3 to 5 days to shoot off fireworks & beg for candy. I'm not on board with that. I had to get 3 fans going on high, pop in my ear buds, & listen to ambient music in order to sleep.

I woke at 2 something for a breathing treatment. All was quiet so the music went off and I went back to bed. Tonight will be much of the same I'm sure unless they get rained out. ~Evil Grin~
I can only hope.

Let's see where the day takes us.
 
Here's what I'm sending the folks this morning since they find my new hobby so amusing.

As online shopping begins to consume us more and more, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point all the ground stores closed. The reason being that many of us have no desire to spend 30 min everywhere we go waiting in line because there's not enough cashiers. And some of us have no desire to become self employed at the self checkouts. Then there's dealing with store crowds & unfriendly cashiers that do nothing but moan about their personal problems or talk. It's easier to get online, click a few buttons, type in a little info & boom. Shopping done.
 
I had to break out the earbuds again. I took my anxiety meds as well. Trying to keep things peaceful while the bombs of Babylon are going off outside.

"You have an individual responsibility to yourself, but you have a societal responsibility, because if we want to end this outbreak, really end it ... we've got to realize that we are part of the process," he said.

Speaking before Congress on Tuesday, Fauci said the number of daily new infections could more than double unless the nation can control the spread of the coronavirus.

"We are now having [40,000+] new cases a day. I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around," Fauci said. "Clearly we are not in total control."

I'm looking at masks with respirators on them. If the lung doc comes up with a possible solution to help me breathe so I can carry on then I'm going to see about these masks so I can breathe better. Plus I'm gonna need shoes. May have to invest in Amazon Prime.

We are a mere few hrs from WW3 in pyrotechnics breaking out in the yard so I'm gonna slip out and place my pizza order. BRB...
 
I'm redeeming some of my pizza points & getting a large pizza 4 freeeeeeeee! Also some wings & a sandwich with fries. That should keep me till Monday. I have carrots I can warm up to eat with the wings. I've got fruit cups for dessert.
 
Morning.

Thank God for no fireworks today. I'm sure someone will blow a few.

I'm gonna finish my coffee & go shower & hang a load of wash to dry. I think there's a couple dishes in the sink too but I'm not 100% sure on that. LOL!

I think I have 2 more of those church services to watch as well. The way this world is going I wouldn't be at all surprised if God was on his way for the final round. Nobody knows when for sure but, I believe we are getting closer all the time. I think God is just hanging around waiting to see if anyone else wants to come home to him when it's time. I'm glad I made the choice.
 
Ahhh...*Takes a swig*

Yum! I do love my coffee. Even when it's a million degrees outside.

I'm enjoying today's peace & quiet. I'm thankful for it. At least now I can relax some. Yesterday I was a mess. Those fireworks did a real number on my anxiety. And you shoulda seen the smoke in the air. It was so bad it was drifting into the house & doing a number on my lungs.

One more week to go till I see the pulmonologist. Then we'll see what happens. Whatever happens, I trust God with it. So I will be ok. He will help me to be ok.
 
Hmm...I've never seen the post office deliver packages on a Sunday. I went to track that barber clipper I purchased off Amazon & they said to look for a delivery notice. I know I didn't get one yesterday. And there it was. Had I known that I would've been a little more alert.

Now I gotta make a run to the post office on Tuesday. It says it will be ready for pick up by then. ~Shrugs~
 
Just skimming some news stories from Kansas.

A guy who shot & killed a bartender & tried to kill 2 others was released today on a 20 yr old technicality. He can't be retried.

Nestle/Cargill could be in trouble in Switzerland for child slave labor. What's the deal with these places doing this crap?
 
The state Department of Health and Environment reported that Kansas has had 15,919 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, up 929, or 6.2% since only Wednesday. Kansas also has reported 277 COVID-19-related deaths, up five in two days.
 
Ok...apparently we are not legally bound to wear masks or police people who don't but, they can get fined up to $2500 if they don't wear their masks in public. I think. I'm gonna hafta ask someone. This crap is too confusing for a simpleton like me. Apparently it states " violators face a potential civil fine of up to $2,500 if local prosecutors decide to go to court."

I somehow doubt this will have any effect on people here.
