Good morning ladies
What I am grateful for during this time of possible quarantine....
1.) Amazon and other online retailers who can generally deliver what you need within a day or two. Drop it in the front step.
2.) Local grocery store pickup (Walmart-place your order online, and when you go to pick it up, it's delivered to your car) and even delivery from our local Safeway. And the pizza guy, lol.
Regarding our gut microbes, here are 2 important ones that are mentioned in the literature I'm reading: Akkermansia muciniphila https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6223323/ and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5492426/ I am not a microbiologist, nor do I play one on TV, but the the upshot on these bugs is that they love many resistant starches and fermented products, and colored fruits and veggies. We've been told to eat from the color spectrum and eat fermented foods - these (very technical) articles kind of explain the why, and there are many other resources in the internet. These bugs also help with obesity, can help heal leaky gut, and boost our immune systems. Kind of interesting reading if you are bored or have spare time.
Tomatoes have started to germinate and will be moved to the "nursery" today. They'll be basking under a full spectrum flourescent lights and keeping their toes warm on heat mats. Of course, a little snow is possible this weekend and highs of 41 - their garage environment is unheated but I think they'll be fine.
Make it a great day, ladies.

How many times a day do you touch your face?
The health advice includes washing hands with soap frequently throughout the day and avoiding touching your face.
When I hear that my first thought was, "That's OK, I hardly ever touch my face" ...
Then I started paying attention to it, and it's like my hands are glued to my face!! Rubbing my itchy, sore eyes. Checking my broken tooth. Scratching my itchy nose. Brushing my hair out of my face. Pushing my glasses up.
I'm trying to really focus on not touching! And I might need to start wearing my hair back.
Oh, speaking of hair, I've started washing it 6 days a week instead of just 5 and I might go to 7. I'm also debating about having about 6-8 inches lopped off the bottom. I can almost sit on it now. It's possible it might be healthier to have it slightly shorter.

I have my fingers in my mouth virtually non stop when I'm at home. I reckon once I'm through the door my own bugs are all around me so I'll wash my hands carefully when I come in and then just carry on. The important thing is not to bring new bugs through the door.
Lanette - The problem is that any object has been touched by multiple people, so to be absolutely safe you would have to disinfect everything. For me that is a step too far. I have been putting things away after shopping with my gloves still on, carefully peeling my gloves off, and then washing my hands.

My husband’s work place closed for the week to clean. Everyone is working from home. I’m getting a glimpse into future retirement and him around all the time.
My biggest complaint-I’ve enjoyed cranking the stereo while cleaning the house, dancing along a little bit. Can’t do that while he’s working and I feel self conscious about doing it when he’s home.
Dirty house and no tunes makes for a grumpy 😡 lady!

Hubby and son had to go to an emergency service call,get to the house,go in and take care of the issue only to find out the young boy is extremely sick and they’re from overseas.DH is upset/angry,he doesn’t want to get sick or bring it home to the rest of us.The renters didn’t inform Anyone there was a sick child or that they had been out of the country.Im not worried for me but hubby and gs are both highly susceptible to pneumonia and everything else.

Didn't feel like running today with my cold, so I went for the exact same route, but walked it with DH. Really I think I find running easier than walking. Anyway, good to get some bonus calories in and the fresh air was invigorating.
On the way home we stopped at an artisan bakery and bought four spinach and ricotta pies and a blue cheese focaccia. That's three lunches for the future.
Sun is shining now! Our spring flowers are lovely in the front garden, especially the hyacinths, pink and blue ones. All inherited from the previous owners.

They were madly restocking the toilet roll shelves in the supermarket where we do our shopping. Not much other sign of panic buying. The shelves of some staples like rice were a little depleted, but we got everything we normally buy. There was plenty of fresh fruit/veg, and most things. The checkouts were rather busy, but the car park was definitely less crowded than usual.
I am very aware of how often I touch my face/eyes/mouth at the moment. Trying to stop is a nightmare as the habits are so deeply ingrained.
Heather: Like you, I reckon it's not in my home, and I am taking preventative measure to keep it that way. I mean, how far do you go? Strip off every stitch when you enter the house? Put clothes into washing machine, then shower? A little too extreme? 😂 There are very few reported cases in Northern Ireland so far, but that could change in an instant.
Hubby had an appointment to have his regular prostate test this morning. Receptionist rang him first thing to check that he hadn't been in contact with any one who had recently been abroad. Then they vetted him again before he was allowed into the building. It's good to know that our medical practice is being careful.
Stay safe, everyone.6 -
JRs touches my face more than I do lol 😂. So trillions for JR touching it on top of my touching.
JR grabbed the box of brownies y cake 🎂 he was so excited put it in the ground tried to open them himself. Don’t worry mopped y waxed the floor last night had too all the potty training accidents.
Realized today after someone said something that many of you like my hubby family wears their nasty 😷 out door shoes inside! I was brought up to use rubbing alcohol to washing machine on all kids shoes. We have outdoor shoes y indoor shoes.You do not wear your outdoor shoes inside! Considered Rude by 80% of my family (culture thing). Hubby leaves his shoes outside or on a mat (the fancy ones) .I put JRs outdoor tennis shoes for going to stores y Doctor in a pouch in his closet (Mickey mouse shoes y sandals for indoor/ plain cheap one for going out) .Same with mine like JR got pouch.
JR woke up didn’t want underwear 🩲 he cried so told him sit on potty you can have a diaper.Saved 4 diapers yesterday/1 diaper saved so far today at least.
Hubby did great shopping 🛒 found a lot they had just stocked up luckily. He of course couldn’t get our exact products so some were anything he could find . Giant bag of potato mix to box of brownie mix. We have shifted our shopping 🛒 to what will JR eat mainly. So if worst comes to worst he will eat for sure. The Head Baker wore mask 😷 y gloves 🧤 made it no writing on it handed the birthday cake straight to hubby.4 -
I had an unfortunate trip to Safeway and was involved in a fender bender in the parking lot. The driver of the other car backed into me. I have good photos of the damage to my car and the evident lack of visible damage to the other car. I have been notified that someone wants to sue me for their car damages. I went to my insurance company and they helped me fill out a traffic report for the DMV. She faxed it in right away and they have it now.
The same night as the parking lot fender-bender, DH had a medical problem that needed help from the paramedics. They were brilliant at helping and he is doing fine thanks to their help.
Between the two events, I ended up more than a bit stressed and rattled. Now we wait for the next step for the car repair. I have quite a bit of damage where the other car dented mine that will have to be done in a body shop & we are waiting our turn for the work to be done. My car is still drivable while I wait for my turn for repair.

Katla I’m see it as a blessing that even tho you were rattled you remembered to take photos to prove who y what damage was done!
