Diane O and Liz are the true energizer bunnies of this group. I wish a little bit would rub off on me.

Ann, I'm sorry you were in such a dark place. Glad you are climbing back out into the light.

Today is my "easy" day. No online meetings. Just have to be available by email, phone, text until 3:00. Looking at my attendance this morning I learned that Poppy's dad was taken to the hospital last night with a severe allergic reaction to something. I checked in on him. He's doing much better.

Have prospective puppy people coming to meet pups at 2:00. I hope they understand social distancing a bit better than the couple who came by on Sunday. LOL. I still feel odd that I had to keep backing away from the woman, but she kept encroaching on my SIX FEET.

Puppies start leaving this Wednesday. By Sunday we will be down to only 3 or 4.

I have a make up shrink session today at 3:30.

Food/eating.... I keep flashing on tracking my food. Not tracking macros, but just writing down what I eat. I think it might be very helpful going forward and since it all has to come from me the thought that I may want to track is an encouraging sign. Disordered eating can be such a *****!

Off to enjoy another pretty spring day here. Am hoping Ron and I can get past being the Bickersons today. Something was amiss yesterday. He was touchy and I was reactive. He has not been sleeping well and staying up very, very late - the other night until after 4:00 am. I am guessing that has something to do with it.

I have a friend here who has been staying up all night until 5 or so, then sleeping most of the day. And she is not seeing/socializing at all. I don't know if it is caused by being depressed or is causing it...

Greetings fellow hide -outers.

Couldn't think of a good word for persons hiding out. Refugees? No, thats not it. Oh well, someone post one

This is all getting pretty old. Spent time out "training" the sugar snap peas to twine around the poles the way I want them to. Get a life!

Liz, I could not help but giggle at your story on the pesky geezer. I know its not funny but well it sort of is. Loved your description of what a pompous jerk the guy is. Such guys don't get the message easily. Yep, with luck he will find someone else to annoy. Don't listen to the little voice that says "be nice". Too bad he has messed up the support group for you. What did Ann do about the cruise ship pests? Tell them she was a democrat!! Tee Hee

DianeM are truly a "lemonade maker". Got the garage cleaned out and found some good in all this. We all need to be like you. Our garage is so full of crap and there are plenty of people who need money and are willing to make dump runs. Unfortunately DH and I disagree on the definition of "junk".

Ann, sorry you took a trip to Creepy Land but glad it was round trip. Hmmm, Creepy Land could be a new theme park. It must be hard to have the surgery complications plus feel like you have been "grounded".

Just took a little trip out today. Picked up studio financials at bookkeeper since I can't seem to print them on my MAC. Then a big venture to the CVS store. No Skinny Pop so I had to buy an inferior brand - Heavenly Light - which is over salted.

I wish our governor would issue guidance on what stores can open up. They just listed 4 kinds but says they should have curb side service. How can you clothes shop curbside? It matters for our art galleries. Guess we just have to wait. Gallery is having a zoom membership meeting tonight but I am not doing it. Imagine 20 plus people all on a zoom at once. One letter short of zoom is "zoo". I know some of our members are not going to be comfortable working at the shop though the set up is one that is easy to sanitize and distance. Guess someone will have to figure that out - not me. I am willing to do work there as long as there are wipes.

Our studio loan is now funded. So now I have to figure out all the rules on how we have to spend it. More brain work. How did I do this kind of stuff for 25 years times 100.

Oh peps, puppies are almost gone! Love your FB pics. I may see if Ardith has any BT pups we can come play with. Not exactly socially distanced but she and her husband live in a cabin in the woods that is pretty remote.

Our neighbors have been power washing everything all day long. Noisy . DH told me he was going to take a shower and I told him to go across the street to the neighbors and get power washed.

Is this sufficiently drivellly or what?

Check in everyone. No comment too drivellly to post.

This wasn't at all drivelly to me. I enjoyed it all ... your point of view is quite interesting!
