What's on your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?
Good Morning! I don't even know what day it is. I ran at home since my other options are closed and Wednesday is not a run day so I'm confused. I've basically been working at least 12 hour days and trying to keep it all together. I lost my cool with John and Em last night about stupid stuff (chore lists and the fact I don't want to have to do that, I'd rather it be if you see something that needs to be done-do it.... but I must have different vision since I see much more that "could" be done). I felt bad after :(
Accountability: I ate my feelings in the way of SF toffee and peanut butter sandwich crackers.
QOTD: I like my water room temp
TSS: 5 years 7 months
B: SF latte, eggbeaters and turkey sausage links
L: Albacore lettuce wraps and baby carrots
S: Turkey wrap on low carb tortilla, pork rinds and carbmaster cottage cheese
D: Shredded beef, green beans, sliced fruit, and 2 squares dark chocolate
ES: Low carb pita with cream cheese and cinnamon/spenda, Homemade Greek yogurt with SF syrup and cup fiber cereal
E: 8 mile run and 40 mins elliptical
V/W: On track
Totals: Cals: 1534 Protein:155 Carbs:111 Fat:64
Have a great one!
I bet everybody feels better in the morning.

Grim and I are just past our 4 year anniversary and we have never had a real fight (no really!) but last night I realized that I was being so unnecessarily argumentative over the stupidest thing (whether I will will be able to tell if I am Covid19 symptomatic).
I think this new reality is going to test all of our patience.
Hope today is better!

A friend of mine posted something about being happy when your kids get angry and tantrum with you, it means you?re their safe space and they know they can let it out with you. I suspect the same for tired stressed moms and non-kids too. You boil over where you feel most supported

G'morning all!
How's everybody doing telecommuting?
Heard from DD. She received an email that her commencement ceremony is cancelled. We are bummed, and depending on how things are mid May, we might still go out there to celebrate with her. She is not in a dorm so she wasn't kicked out, her internship allows her to telecommute so she is staying put. I am starting to worry if the situation gets worse how we get to her or how to have her come to us. DS's school is out too and our governor announced yesterday the closure might be all the way through the end of school year. Two for two, two seniors no graduation. DS has daily assignments and starting next Mon online classes.
Has anybody read the book "life as we knew it"? It's not a book about diseases. It's a YA book that DD read in jr high and I read along with her. Practically the moon gets out of its axes and it effects everything on earth. The stuff that happens on earth in the book are starting to look eerily similar to what we are going through. In the book things happen fast because of lack of tides, but still the stuff they go through are scary. Anyway, I've been thinking about that book more and more. It's actually a series of three books. The first one is the best.
QOTD: as long as the drink is cold I don't need ice. When I order a drink outside I always ask light on ice and people look at me weird. Truth be told I grew up with drinks not having any ice. DH still tells everybody the story when he handed in Italy in the middle of a hot summer. Asked for a coke, they gave him a room temp coke and when he asked for ice in it they were looking at him weird. Admittedly I don't like coke room temp but as long it's coming out of the fridge I don't require ice in it. I can't understand these HUGE 40 oz cups of some sort of soda full of ice.
My meals yesterday:
- B: Protein coffee
- L: Costco egg bites
- S1: 20 dark chocolate chips (very bad habit I'm getting into)
- S2: fage yogurt
- D: TJ shrimp and veggie fajita
- E: 15 min cardio + 45 min weight training
Happy hump day, everyone.

Sorry about the graduations. That really stinks for them!
I have never heard of the books, but I have been thinking a lot about the very first sci fi book I ever read in the 4th or 5th grade. No idea what it was called, but the plot was that some disease starts to wipe out anyone older than a teen, sp the kids have only a few weeks to learn how to run the world...they quickly start apprenticing on how to grow food, sew clothes and run the water/sewer systems. It blew my mind when I was a kid, and now I keep wondering if I know how to take care of myself if no one is left who knows how to do anything.
