    I woke up feeling so emotionally and physically drained. I can’t wrap my head around what’s going on and how people are reacting to it. Everyday I see my employees fear of us slimming down even though we’re assuring them their job is safe. I hate what we have become as a society. Sorry I had to vent.

    Venting allowed. :smile: We all have strong vs vulnerable days.

    I'm sorry for your challenges. It sounds like your employees are only venting. I'm sure they mostly feel lucky to have you. :smile:
    Remember that time when you went into your clients closet and it was creepy and dark and suddenly you hear a loud "psssst" and you're blinded by something and your arms start swinging cuz you think you're being attacked but suddenly it smells so beautiful and you realize it was an electronic air freshener 😆

    Lol. Unless you're a closet organizing professional... I'd love the hear the stories that begin with you finding yourself inside a client's dark, creepy closet. :grimace:

    Thank you for your kind words. It’s been taxing but I know we will prevail. Just been hard. Thank God for Liquor! Lmao!!!!

    Can't figure out if I'm going to bed early to avoid eating everything in sight, or because tired.

    I choose going to bed early for $500

    Really getting tired of my bank and their mortgage deferral BS. Yes, some people will have no alternative but to defer a mtge while they are out of work. The banks aren't doing it out of charity. They'll make it up later when you have to pay all the deferred interest . Anyway , today I received another puke inducing , bull 💩 laden email from the bank, about how they're here for us in these difficult times blah blah blabbity *kitten* blah. Delete it and opened the banking app. Now there's a mortgage deferral application right across the screen with a giant accept button ... Right where I would press to access my account 🤬Almost like getting people to apply by accident.

    I have less than 3 yrs left. I'm considering borrowing from my parents to pay it off ;the penalty is 3 months interest. How's that for a deferral? 🖕😎

    Yeah, what most banks are offering is not a true forebearance. It all comes due at once. And they’re not all that transparent either

    It's all over the news up here ,warning people that it's not mortgage forgiveness,and when you resume payments ,the deferred interest is repaid first.

    The banks are relentless though. I've had 5 emails already. The app thing pissed me off;I almost hit the accept button because I didn't expect it to be there

    True. Banks are the worst & housing/loans/mortgages are a mess right now. I feel sorry for those who are trying to sell their homes & perhaps buyers backed out or they had to cancel a sale to remain in their own homes just now.

    I was wondering about the same for renters. If they won't evict for non-pmt now... once the State of Emergency is lifted, then do they evict these poor people immediately, who've lost their jobs or have cut-down hours if they don't have a pile of cash down the line... where's it going to come from?

    I appreciate the $1,200 stimulus check I received yesterday & my housing is safe for the moment, however... it doesn't even cover 1-mo's rent.

    Wanna share those cookie calories? 😉

    I had an iced coffee instead. Still had calories but i can control myself a little better with that than with cookies. It also takes longer to consume, especially when i chew every ice cube. And the caffeine suppresses my appetite.

    Talking about my temptations both here and privately with a friend who also struggles seems to be helping today

    Somebody tell me what movie I’m thinking of.

    I remember a scene in a post-apocalyptic world in which a family is dangled over some kind of abyss, suspended by a rope? barbed wire? Anyway, a member of that family is forced to hold that rope thing until she can’t anymore and then her family plummets to their death. She then becomes part of the gang that set up that whole scenario

    Samsung s20plus. As a person who enjoys taking pictures of everything I was sold on the quality of the camera but the selfie side of it sucks so much. On my apps like IG and Snapchat the selfie options are garbage. Its so zoomed in its ridiculous.

    A bit of an aside, but for those of you craving sweets, who can't get to the store... or not wanting to buy a whole container for fear of eating them all... I've made this microwave chocolate cake in a mug & it is an excellent recipe. My mum wanted something easy & fast & she eats chocolate daily, so this was it. I don't know the calories, but it's a single serving (my mum got 2 servings out of it), the ingredients are small (nothing more than 3T of anything) & the taste & texture is wonderful. Cals should be easy to figure out with the MFP calc.

    I don't like sweets & rarely eat them, but did try this cake when I was testing recipes for her & it is excellent. BTW, I made it without chocolate chips, cuz she never had any & 2T of oil, rather than 3T & it was still great. (I did, however, coat the mug with oil before microwaving, since I cut back.)

    One tip, don't over-microwave or the texture isn't as pleasant. The recipe calls for 90-seconds, but in my mum's new m/w 75-secs was enough. Also, I tested a bunch of other mug cake recipes... she didn't like any others. And, any vanilla cake mug recipe I found was horrible.

    If you test it out, enjoy!

    It comes out just like this...
