Yes @snowflake1968 we are staying open for key worker and vulnerable children only through this whole thing, so even through what would normally be school holidays. With numbers so low, it’s hoped that we can maintain distancing a little and try and keep everyone safe. But thankfully children seem to deal pretty well with this virus so it’s about staff being sensible too.2 -

Yesterday's Picture. Anyway.
JFT
WOKE UP LATE RUSHED TO TAKE PHILLIP TO WORK IN MY NIGHT SHIRT AND SHORTS. I LITERALLY JUMPED UP FROM A DEEP SLEEP. RAN TO THE BATHROOM TO TINKLE, WIPED WASHED HANDS 3 TIMES STEPPED INTO MY SNEAKERS, GRABBED MY PURSE, KEYS, BOTTLE OF WATER, RAN OUT THE DOOR TO THE CAR. WENT TO PICK HIM UP STILL FOGGY IN THE HEAD.
PHILLIP"WHAT NO SWEATS TODAY?"
ME 😳 😒 I was running late to come get you
PHILLIP 😀
Me Whatever Phillip (looking straight ahead with a 😯😬) OMG I forgot to harness the girls. Phillip noticed that part too and kept elbowing me all the way to his job just so he could watch them "fight"... Color me embarrassed. But after he got out and I came to myself... I burst out laughing at myself. We are separated... But the funny is I felt like I had just been caught by my parents or something. This man has spent 20 years seeing my unmentionables and I felt like he shouldn't be looking and even more emotional behind the fact that I didn't come out of the house fully put together. Oh Mary. Really. I said to myself. Then I started laughing for talking to myself.
I'm sure none of you have felt like a deer in headlights... Lol7 -

Productive quiet day. Went through clothes, donated a bunch, put away a bunch in higher size, pulled out a bunch that are starting to fit. “Shopping in my closet”. Realizing that I’ve been doing sort of the same things for so long that my body has probably gotten too efficient and I need to switch things up to get off this plateau. Of course stress and worry doesn’t help!

Yesterday was a pretty good day... calories stayed in check... got projects done.. I had to stop a hour into my trainer session...didn’t have the motivation.. then felt guilty so decided to go out and ride my mountain bike. Ended up having a very nice ride and burned a bunch more calories. Happy to say if and when the COVID 19 passes I am set to have a very nice racing season. Assuming we have one.
Goals for Sunday
Sufferfest
Short outdoor ride
Vacuum cars
Get some groceries
Hang w family
No more than 2 beers. Wasn’t gonna allow that at all but Sara wants me to grill tonight and well just like vacuuming and alcohol I’m pretty sure it’s the law that there must be beer when the grill is in use.

Ive been quietly checking in. Especially when i need some grounding in these crazy times. So thank you all for being a constant in my life! I'm thinking of everyone and doing my best to stay positive and hopeful for the future.
As a little distraction, I figured its about time to introduce Ray!
HE IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT!!!! Oh my gosh! How can you not just fall in love with that sweet little face!
I'm happy to see you pop on and glad to hear that you are still checking in! I do the same when I don't have time to post. This group is my one constant also...I know there will always be someone popping on to talk about something normal! xoxo Thank you for sharing a picture of him!5 -

@Snowflake1964 I would be so stressed out in your job right now. I give you much credit for the important job you do keeping our elders safe! Sending you hugs and love, my friend!
@teigansdad Congratulations on hitting your goal weight! You kicked *kitten*! Nice!
@clicketykeys What an awesome compliment your student gave you! I can remember the teachers who had an impact in my life still, and I'm 60 years old! Happy belated birthday!
@maryrobinson40 I often wonder if you realize how beautiful you are! Not only when I look at your picture do I see a beautiful woman with kind eyes, but those eyes are a window into a beautiful soul! You make a difference to so many people's days. I just hope you know that! I love you my sister....
I know there were more people I wanted to reply to by I didn't write it down so just know I think of you daily and love you all.
My husband, brother and mom got here late Thursday night and my brother went back home on Friday. He lives in Minnesota so still had almost a day's ride ahead of him. In the meantime, we have a 26' Uhaul truck with another 12'x6' trailer packed to the ceiling to unload. My kids had originally planned to help us unload, but with this stupid COVID-19 *kitten*, none of them are able to help...one son has a high risk girlfriend and is in lockdown so as to not bring anything to her. My other son is plant manager at a pallet factory and they are so busy right now that they have all kinds of temporary help coming in daily and the help are NOT clean people--it's just the nature of the work--spitting on the ground, everyone grabbing nails out of the same bins, etc. He is so afraid of spreading something to his family that at the end of the day he strips down at his back door before going in the house, throws his clothes immediately into the washing machine and goes straight to the shower before even going near anyone. He is afraid to come help us because he could very easily be a carrier and he doesn't want to be responsible for getting me, Tim or my mom possibly critically ill. My daughter, well....she's up north at their cottage hunkering down with her boyfriend who is immunocompromsed also. So the truck has sat for 3 days now and has to be returned tomorrow empty. It's very stressful. We're picking away at things a bit at a time but I don't know if we will be able to do the final push and get the big heavy stuff today or not. If you are the praying kind, we could use a prayer right about now so we don't hurt ourselves, get sick and for successful offloading!
Just for Sunday- Journal every bite
- Drink a ton of water!
- Be patient. Be kind. Don't snap out of frustration.
- Look for positives and be grateful. No not dwell on negatives
- Find time for self care today
- Remember to take time to breathe.
- Lymphatic massage tonight
WOTY: Persisence
Peace and blessings to everyone! Stay well my friends!

JFT Goals for Sunday, March 29, 2020
Log everything today
Be mindful of everything I eat or drink
Back after a very long absence and back to my old starting weight. Realized I was letting this pandemic give me the perfect excuse for eating my way thru every day. So with a mental slap upside the head, I decided I need to get back to eating healthy to stay healthy.
One change from "before", is that my 26 year old granddaughter is now living with me and she stockpiles cheese, chips, cookies, etc ... all stuff that it's difficult for me to resist. When I was alone, I could buy only the "good stuff" for 2-3 days so there was nothing to cheat with in the house. That's not the case now so it's going to be much more challenging.
Baby steps, I guess. Eat better, log everything, drink water! Be mindful of everything. Baby steps for now.5 -

Thinking of you all in these strange and difficult times. Sometimes I think my daily goals are silly but other times I appreciate that they are a routine in these uncertain times. I guess we can only keep plodding away and doing our best 😊. Hugs!5 -
HEGoddard0928 wrote: »JFT, 3/28/20
- Spend time with Matt
- Read one chapter Actually read 4 before bed. Lol. I wasn't sure about this book but last night's chapters sucked me in!
- Write one chapter Just couldn't get into it.
So every April, July, and November there are NaNoWrMos which stand for National Novel Writing Months. April starts it off for the new year and my friend does them pretty religiously every year. She convinced me to join her this month because they have an option for an editing word count instead of a writing word count. The problem is as of last night I still have 5 chapters left to write before I could type those two magic words (The End). So I would need to pound out those 5 chapters before 4/1. Well, this morning I wrote one almost as soon as I woke up. After I post my goals for the day I am going to write another one. So I'll have three days to write three more. Then I'll be all set! So let's see if I can do this!
That's literally the only thing that's been happening in my life that's of any importance. Matt started talking to a former friend of his, who he got mad at a few months ago, again. They've been playing video games a lot the last few days. But the times that they aren't playing we have been listening to a podcast that we really like, trying to get caught up to the current episode. I think we still have about 100 episodes to go. I'm hoping that we can reach it by the time the quarantine is over.
Okay, anyway, here are my goals for the day.
JFT, 3/29/20
- Cook taco stuff for dinner
- Write at least 1 more chapter
- Read at least 1 chapter
- Unload the dishwasher
It is pretty late in the day to post these but they're simple so I can probably get them all finished before bed tonight.4 -

Thank you @PackerFanInGB ... I love you too and I love all of you my beautiful sisters and handsome brothers.
At first it nagged at me that the brothers of this family don't chat with me. Then I thought... Well maybe because of the cultural language thing when I said I love my brothers that perhaps the guys thought I meant "African American" only. Then ... LMBO I got over myself altogether.😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 SOMETIMES the mind can take me to strange places. No one cares about those things in THIS group. I say brothers and sisters because we're all of the human race and I love you and care for you as I love myself. My hopes are that every goal set and every challenge taken will be achieved to the fullest.
I'm absolutely thrilled at how many join and can't help but stay because of the goodness, support, positivity, and acceptance that's found here. The pull and push= " COME ON YOU CAN DO IT! YOU'VE GOT THIS! WE'RE HERE FOR YOU!" DON'T GIVE UP... All of the beautiful encouragement any person that chooses to can want.
😀😍❤❤❤❤ I LOVE JFT FAMILY TEAM!!!
Best choice in my life so far.5 -
@HEGoddard0928 - I bet you can get this book done.
@maryrobinson40 - love you too my beautiful sister.
@PackerFanInGB - I hope you were successful and no injuries were had unloading. It will be so nice to have your Mom handy.
My granddaughter is struggling with this whole self isolation thing. She misses coming to visit, she misses pre school and she misses grocery shopping with her daddy. She actually ended up peeing her pants this week twice. 😓. My daughter posted this today and it made me cry. We FaceTimed and it was ok, it’s just not the same.

Almost a clean sweep of my goals, yay! Quiet, productive day again. Went out for a drive in the mountains. Figured we couldn’t infect or get infected if we stuck to our car (and drive carefully to avoid accidents). Was nice to see tall green trees. A colleague reminded me that my plants haven’t had water for a long time now (at least 10 days, honestly I can’t remember...might be 2 full weeks). I may need to go grab them and bring them home tomorrow night. No time during the day—10 hours of video calls scheduled. They keep talking about “work slowing down” and “people not having enough to do”—I don’t see that happening for at least 6 weeks! Sure hope we can consider getting back in the office in 6 weeks. Doubt it will be sooner...
🙏Thank you to all who are on the front lines of this. The rest of us will do our part to support you, to get you the supplies you need, and to stay away from each other!🙏

Monday.... ugh.
Well yesterday went well.. from a goal standpoint. All met. Had two bad workouts. Not sure if fatigue, or calorie deficit catching up. Sleep for the last three nights has sucked. As I was tossing and turning I realized the common denominator was that I did drink some beer. Stayed within 1-2 each night but maybe that’s enough?
Monday goals
400-500 calories in green. No more than that
Drink more water
No beer or booze tonight.. even though I’m planning on grilling chicken tonight and y’all know thoughts about grilling and beer
(Gotta get some good sleep)
Easy sufferfest.. push back the hard efforts need to recover legs
