Good morning! I can't seem to get here on a schedule. I feel like the days are all blurred together, I can't stick to a schedule or a planned one, and my sleep has gotten all messed up. I've been doing the kickboxing workouts on line but I think next week I'll actually go in. Church is still on line. Work is still one line. Today I had a meeting, so I got up and dressed like I was going to work, shoes and all. Maybe that's what I need to do; typically during the summer, I work T-Th, so that may be my new plan. Any other suggestions? Take care, Meg from OMaha.5

Machka: I like your quarantine once a days. Thanks!
Barbara: I’m thinking a frustration voodoo doll might be therapeutic. Poke it with pins as needed to vent anger. :grumble:
Lisa: I hope all turns out well for you and Corey. It is wonderful to know that you have options. They need you more than you need them. I wonder whether any of them knows how much you accomplish. :ohwell:
KJ: I love Jack Sparrow! Thank you. :bigsmile:
Meg: It is delightful to see your post!!! My only advice is for you to stop by here more often. You are missed.
We have ordered a new BBQ. Last night’s dinner may be the last one for our old BBQ. It served us long and well, but it is crumbling day by day. It will likely be a week before the new one gets here, but I’m hoping for sooner.

Meg I’ve been trying to stay on a “normal” schedule. I get up at my regular time, get showered and dressed, etc. Although it is hard to keep it up while we are not out and about, I even still put on a dress on Sunday for church even though I am watching online from my sofa. My sleeping has been rough, but I allow myself to take a nap if I have had a 3-hour night or something. I do think that there is something magical about getting dressed. I even still wear a little makeup, even though the only people who see me are hubby and the kids and grandbaby. It has worked well for me! Keep up the good work!

Sitting taking a quick break and then on to packing for going up to Faiths ....and doing a vacuum .. nothing better than having your old dog snuggled up in your lap, I cherish the moments.. Alfie never curls up to long unless he is under he covers lol
Allie - you inspired me. I just repotted/divided my prayer plant into 2 pots and have 6 pieces of the old plant in jars of water. Let's see if they root. I've been meaning to do this since last year.
So glad the job being with Faith opened up and you can take Alfie along. Sounds pretty ideal!

Growing MJ is legal in several states. In our area the vast majority is grown indoors. Since it is also legal in CA, I suspect the majority of it is also grown indoors. No problem with foraging critters or thieving humans inside a locked building. A former paper mill in our town is a grow site. The city council helped set up the deal.4

For those of your who understand French and are francophiles, here is a youtube Chanel where a young guy, about 25, from a top school gives a daily update, mostly around coronavirus. it's about 5-7 minutes, mostly about France with a part at the end about another country (often usa or china, but not always). He speaks fast. I find it a time saver for me. I know all the main points and don't have to peruse the rest of the news much if at all to find out new rules, updates, etc. There's a 1 question poll in upper right part of youtube screen at the end most days. (ex: do you plan to go on vacation this summer) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAcAnMF0OrCtUep3Y4M-ZPw1

We have a hemp field not far from our house, but it is industrial hemp. The field is fenced with signs that say -- "Industrial Hemp -- not for human ingestion" or something like that. It tickles me, for some reason.

We also submitted our ballots today, but it was a really boring ballot since none of us are major party members. But still . . . civic duty and all.

Hi Gals,
Ok you all have me giggling, they are not paying me any more upfront, in fact said something about all management staff taking pay cuts, my response was “guess I’m extra glad I’m the gardener!” I am hoping that if this gets pulled off that there is something on the backside, a pay raise or bonus would be nice but I’m not expecting it or holding my breath.
I pulled in a few other folks to help, the staff at my level are creative energetic young folks and with a bit of guidance can do amazing things, so we had a 2 hour brainstorming session yesterday and agreed that we would take a week to get the top 10 ideas fleshed out and set up in a format that could be presented, well as I write this 2 have been presented to upper management and 8 are being tweaked, (just in the first 24 hours!) I should be able to present them tomorrow and some new ideas have been added to the brainstorming list. Not one of these ideas are big dollar items, but each could be a few hundred a month of new income, and maybe more – and it all adds up.
Growing marijuana was not on the list. And while we do have a green house and I think it could be done, I think the regional parks district who owns the land we are on would NOT think highly of that idea. And I’m not sure about the rules on selling it. I think it would take more than just setting up a farm stand. LOL
Hugs to all who need it, cheers to all of us !!! BC (before corona) my weight had creeped up about 8 lbs, well I have not been cico which I do believe in 100% but because of limited funds I have been eating much more vegetable based and been very strict about portions, as my limited funds need to stretch. So much to my delight 4 of those 8 have left this bod!

marijuana may be legal, but it's legal like booze not like vegetables 3

Did low Impact Cardio Leg and Ball Upper Body DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do Amy Dixon’s Breathless Body DVD.
M – I just can’t begin to imagine the joy you must have felt when your hubby said “she’s my…my…my WIFE”.
Jaxsgma – same here…back in jeans (boo) But it does look like at the end of the week I’ll be back in shorts. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be in the pool, it probably has cooled some. Hopefully, it won’t be breezy and I’ll be able to string popcorn. Then again, being breezy would be nice so we can install the new landscape edging. Didn’t do well on eating yesterday. Since Steve is here, I’m having to make more foods that he likes (and he likes fat in things. But I did have pork tenderloin for dinner while he and Vince had rib eye)
Bananas – now I’m glad that I chose to pay the membership for the gym that I chose. The other two I pay by the class and, of course, with no classes I’m not paying. The one gym that’s always been very clean is the one that I’ll pay the Silver and Fit fee for. I’ll use their equipment (treadmill, stairstepper, elliptical). They also have the weights with the bar (that’s one of the classes that I take at one gym) so I’ll do one of the DVD’s that I have for it there. So I’ll probably get my money’s worth. I do wish they had a pool, tho. But I can understand why they don’t. She is renting space, she doesn’t own the building. And a pool is a MAJOR change
