Always so wonderful to have people *****ally understand me!!

The first instance of this in my life was when I was really little my grandma worked as a secretary near where I lived. On rainy mornings (not a frequent occurrence in southern CA) she would bring old fashioned donuts by the house before work. I still, 40+ years later, strongly crave those unfrosted, not sweet, cakey, fried donuts when I wake on rainy mornings.

Just-wow.

I'm jealous that Ocean Diane is off in her RV! I'm having serious RV envy! A friend of Ron's has a new RV and is off glamping, Diane and DC are off, Liz in on Martha's Vineyard, and my BFF is enjoying his early retirement. Yes, I am pea green today! LOL!

Ron is not feeling well. I find this really bothersome. It makes me wonder how careful he is being when he goes to church on Sundays. He also went to school last week. I assume he is being careful, so him not feeling well makes me wonder. He has a bad gut and is feeling dizzy when he gets up. I'm wondering if the air quality could be taking a toll, too. Not sure.

Made super tasty burgers last night and salad. BFF came over and it was nice to chat. His last emotional episode didn't last that long, so I am happy for him. Sometimes those little dips into depression can last weeks. This one was only a few days. Yay! Progress is progress. I think being retired helps his ability to keep his mood more stable.

My weight is back down to 266.1. It looks like I am doing the up - down thing with a gradual downward trend. Slow and steady... I keep telling myself....

Ceci, like you, I don't think I have much of interest to post either because my life is very "regular". Since we both live in a state with a lot of new Covid infections happening daily, I think we are in the groove of living very mundane, routine driven, isolated lives. I basically now go to school to sit by myself in a big empty space, go home and a few times a week go get essentials. My big treat of the week is going to my trainer's garage gym set up on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I do no other unnecessary activities. I'm getting to the point where I really want to go out to eat, but I still feel weird about that. Hoping for a pedicure some day soon. A massage would be like Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one! I didn't realize how I had come to rely on those monthly self care indulgences.

Oh, well.... time to think about logging back into Zoom....

Yes! My world has shrunken so much. So outings and fun is in short supply.

I was messengering with our lovely Shirl and boy do they have it worse. Allowed 5km from the house - and only out once a day for an hour for exercise and once to get food. And they've just extended their lockdown another 6 weeks. If you all saw her on Facebook messenger, I'm sure she'd appreciate a hello. She's feeling pretty down right now.
