@Bex953172 - covid 19 is a new strain of coronavirus. Lysol will kill it from what I’ve been told at work. So will good old bleach.
The important thing is to wash your hands not with just sanitizer use soap and water.
It’s been a couple busy days at work, my old career met my new yesterday when we had to hire security to man our front door. Even though the government has restricted access to hospitals and long term care facilities people still want to visit their lives one. Understandable, but we must protect them.
I have completely fallen off the rails with eating. I am struggling to find any produce, or healthy food in the shelves. We have ordered take out too many tines.
It is what it is, we are living in a new world right now.
I’m following and reading along.
Stay safe and healthy7 -

JFT Tues
Log food
Stay green
Cardio of some variety
Clean something, doesn't matter what.
Drink 50oz
Work is up and down. We SHOULD close. Business is dead as the industry we serve is not essential and many, even most, of our customers have shut down as the government has advised. But it appears our board of directors is afraid to take that leap. Probably because shutting down would very literally gut the supply chain for our industry, we actually supply some of our competitors so while we are not the only fish, or the one with the biggest reach, we have a very specific niche and the board are afraid to anger our customers who choose to carry on as if everything is normal. Who knows what decision will come down tomorrow.
Log food
Stay green
Less snacking
Legs day
Drink. More. 50oz, at least.5 -

Still figuring out this weird new world. Daughter: “can boyfriend drop something off?” “Sure, keep 6ft away.” Next thing I know boyfriend is in the house, touching things all over my kitchen and sitting on the couch. Apparently each of us (DH, DD, and me) thought the other would say something and each didn’t want to be “rude”. Next time I will be rude! I’m not going to go stir crazy on video calls all day in an attempt to be safe and keep others safe from me and then just have people wander into my house! (Rant over)

- Track all food

- Order wine delivery (if I'm going to be isolated, I'm going to enjoy it....)
- Continue not to kill boyfriend
- Get out of house, either for drink (very quiet pub across the road) or for walk.
@bookmeister86 So sorry to hear you’re feeling anxiety. I think it’s very common right now. I don’t think of myself as suffering from it, but I do feel a low level thread in the back of my thoughts that I have to tamp down.
I *love* your second to last goal. 😂 A colleague noted that this forced isolation was going to very tough on relationships...I added “and waistlines!”4 -
We are all in isolation
Ash possibly has it, either way, he's really sick right now. Probably going to ring the NHS111 service and see what they think we should do, just cause he has asthma.
It also annoying that he's OTT when he's ill. Where as I'm more suck it up and get on with it. Because you never know how sick he really is where as you can tell with me
If that makes sense. Either way, were stuck in.
Although I need to drop car off for its MOT. We cleaned the whole thing inside and out though yesterday so I'll take some anti-bac wipes and wipes the steering wheel, door handle, gearstick, levers and keys before handing it over.8 -

Hopefully it’s a case of “man ‘flu” and that the rest of you don’t come down with something nasty4 -
TUESDAY:

- Stay green🤷♀️
- Exercise🟢
- Laundry🟢

Husband is out in Wiscosin. He said they fog the inside of the planes between each flight. I had him take wipes, sanitizer and gloves. He found an old mask in the basement. I hope it’s enough. 💕
JFT WEDNESDAY:

- Exercise

Thinking of all of you dealing with this new normal. It is so hard. Yesterday I spent some time setting up Skype accounts for the kids. I want them to have virtual play dates with their friends. They loved it!4 -
All goals were achieved on Tuesday
Wednesday... not really sure about today. Pulled a muscle or something... right where the trapezius ties into spine keeps going into spasm to point I can’t take a deep breath. Ibuprofen helped it be tolerable but sleep last night.. I can say I was in bed and eyes closed but don’t think I really slept much at all.
Accordingly plans for today
Work
Stop and get supplies at grocery store
Stop at fedex
Stay green
Work out will be optional... not sure I should push it with little sleep
Make nice dinner

Hope everyone is coping with the present worldwide emergency. We are self isolating and keeping our fingers crossed that we get through this.

Depth Year - UpdatesI definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.Daily Goals
03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.- I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
- Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
- Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
- Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
- I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
- 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
- I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
- 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
- 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.
- Food: log All food and drink; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately; NLNS!!!
- Exercise: Knee Physio; 7,500+ Steps daily; 30 + minutes intentional exercise
- Other: Daily Mindfulness Practice/Meditation; Practice Self-care; Positively reframe thoughts; Live! Love! Learn!; 15 mins Daily Declutter session; keep up to date with chores

Recap T 3/17
1) Move hourly / pace during webinar / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 14,677 steps, 250+ 12/14 & 37 floors
2) Net calories green / 14c water = Net cals green 178 sodium -81 good enough sugar green fiber & protein low 15c water
3) Walk dog after work = Weather much improved, sunny & slightly warmer, different route and saw people walking dogs, kids playing, parents & their kids leaving park on foot with a basketball. Good for my psyche. Walked farther than planned 3.76 miles 1:03:45 = happy dog & happy me
4) Something on to-do list in evening = texted w/ hubby about meals, shopping & misc, checked provisions & made grocery list

JFT W 3/18
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings

4) Deal w/ Cognos Admin emails/labs / now that I finally have operational Surveillance footage, start testing GA-ROP
5) Apply for absentee ballot for April 7 / shop Sam's after work & see what I can get / maybe x-train otherwise rest day / other to-do's?
6) Unplug 9 / floss / retainers / bed & no tv 10
Felt so good to see/feel sun yesterday. This morning we have snow flurries, changing to rain later. My mood is better today; just deal with things as they come, and do what I can control. Certain divisions of my workplace have been or are shutting down (education, entertainment, fitness center) or setting limits (no visitors to nursing home), sometimes changing hourly. Co-worker who just returned from Ireland is not at office & staying home (abundance of caution ~ yay). As I expected, my mammogram for tomorrow was just canceled (no non-essential health services at hospital). This is necessary and temporary. Hang in there, everyone!

@aubyshortcake and @TerriRichardson112 - I like the idea of another challenge. Maybe steps or exercise this time. With gyms closed and lots of us working from home, we could use a challenge to help us get moving. Maybe we can call it "Get Hopping?" (Yeah, I know it, corny )
Just an idea. Honestly, I'd participate in any kind of challenge. It's so nice to have that extra motivation. I'm in, watever you decide.5
