Morning, all! Up since 4am which makes for a long day. Starting Day 2 of Week 4, not that I am counting. 😕 Getting bad when in Kentucky and here in Kanawha County those who are diagnosed and won't stay put may have a gps ankle bracelet put on.
Have a good day as we await the next thrilling chapter of "Days of Our Quarantined Lives." 😷
Does that emoji actually have a mask on? Love it!
GPS??? Seriously??? On the one hand it makes sense, on the other hand, I can't help wondering about the legal basis (I know, turn off lawyer hat).0 -
James Corden had a one hour special a few days back (from his garage). I watched the last couple evenings. His guests performed from home. I was surprised to discover what absolutely excellent pianists John Legend and Andrea Bocelli are.0

Top op ed piece on the Post this morning is titled:
The worst president. Ever.
Government officials were delivering similar warnings directly to Trump. A team of Post reporters wrote on Saturday: “The Trump administration received its first formal notification of the outbreak of the coronavirus in China on Jan. 3. Within days, U.S. spy agencies were signaling the seriousness of the threat to Trump by including a warning about the coronavirus —the first of many—in the President’s Daily Brief.” But Trump wasn’t listening.

I'm going to cancel the paper version of the Baltimore Sun. I used to get it for the coupons and comics and Parade magazine but I can't use the coupons if I'm not going to the store and I can read the comics online and the Parade magazine has shrunk to nearly nothing. Once this is over I can always pick up a Sunday paper at the dollar store.
To my annoyance you can't do it online.0 -
This is Wynn, a trainee service dog. He gives comfort and support to the amazing medical staff caring for Coronavirus patients at Rose Medical Center in Denver.
Wynn is a good boy.

I knew John Legend was a talented pianist from seeing him on The Voice and when he performed on award shows.

I confess I've never watched the voice.
I had to contrast them with the first performance on the ACM substitute show last night. All country singers from their homes. Started with Keith Urban whose performance I thought was terrible! I turned it off at that point. I'm sure I'll go back to it.0 -

I hopped on the scale this morning and saw a three pound drop. I thought this cannot be right. Well, it wasn’t. It was a fluke. I got on again and I stayed the same. I’m happy for you though.0

The first weight on my scale is almost always an error so I don't even look down. The scale has ] as an error message but it follows the weight so I can usually miss the weight.
I'm almost to the point where I can get the 40-lb bear out of the closet. I haven't lost 40 pounds since 1/1 but I track bears based on my all time high.0 -

I've quit getting on the scale, and exercising is minimal. I used to fit all this into a schedule. Now there is nothing to schedule. Boredom reigns big time! I guess I don't see a purpose for doing the restricted eating and implemented exercise.
The ankle gps is justified if the person resists an order given directly to them by the law in form of local police or State Police.0 -

This link has some great info on how to maintain a sense of control when the world is in chaos:

I watched the ACM show last night. I had recorded it. I don’t listen to a lot of country music but I wanted to see this. I couldn’t identify a single Keith Urban song and had a similar reaction as you did. The show was uneven but there were more good performances than bad. I particularly liked Blake Shelton and Gwen Steffani, Tim McGraw, Braid Paisley and Darius Rucker. There was a nice tribute to Kenny Rogers.
I’ve found the musical shows hold my interest more right now. They are more uplifting. I watched Idol and I’ll watch The Voice today. I find myself wondering if they had completed the season before all this hit or if it grind to a halt without a winner. Idol is up to the top 20 part where America votes. I don’t know how they could have prerecorded that part. We’ll see.0 -
Jean, I know what you mean about the exercising. After two weeks of really pushing myself, I find it harder to make myself do my steps. I went from 10,000 to 7,000 in a couple of days. I’m hoping my motivation recovers this week.0

My high blood pressure is only controlled if I stay on the meds and keep my weight down so I guess there's my motivation. At least so far I'm busy so that helps! I look at the beautiful sunny day outside and ponder whether I should start adding walks. Wish I had a dog to borrow to walk!0 -
WOW!
Did the orange cheeto really think this wouldn't come out or that his lemmings wouldn't care?

It's getting harder and harder to get certain groceries.
It just occurred to me that it's probably daggone near impossible to get ice cream. Not a bad thing I guess.0
