DotRen - I'm glad you could find some canned green beans, I'm sure rinsing them will get a lot of the sodium off. I was surprised how many things were sold out the last time I went to the store.
I might brave the grocery store next week, just have to see how things are going by then.
Hope everyone is staying well, and your families too. Have a great weekend!

Good morning
wwlurker, that's great you are still getting paid. I know it's really hard for some.
dotren, good luck on the green beans you need for Murray. Some things are just hard to find right now.
cj, that's good you are able to ration your food.
Waving to all
I've been hitting my step goal most days. I went to the grocery store yesterday. Still out of most things, but was able to get break and egg whites. The are limiting some foods which is good. It is a scary time. Stay safe.

sunrose - Hope you don't mind a few questions. How were things in the grocery store? Did people stay clear of others? Were the self checkout lanes open? Were a lot of people wearing gloves and/or masks?
I'm glad you were able to get a few things and that you are hitting your step goal most days.

cj, I don't mind the questions at all.
Didn't see any masked people and only a couple with gloves on. I use a handiwipes and wipe the cart and things as I pick them up. I think we did not stay our 6 feet away from each other though. I did take my own bags as I usually do and the cashier said they are not allowed to use them (which I get). I try to follow my list and get in/out as quickly as I can. I have hand sanitizer in my car and use that as soon as I get in. I'm really trying to limit my outings to just the store when I need something.
Stay safe everyone

Still can't find frozen green beans or fresh, so I'm making Murrays food with canned. I rinsed them really well, soaked them in cold water for 10 minutes then rinsed some more. I hope I got most of the sodium out..

cj, good luck at the store.
dotren, I buy can green beans with no added salt. I have to watch my sodium so I buy those.

Not much going on. Walked Maddie this morning. May get another walk in this afternoon.

I have the no salt ones on my list (again) and hope they have them this time. I can get a case on Amazon, and that might be the best alternative. I was looking at dried ones, they could be another alternative, I'd just need to soak them and cook them with his turkey and squash.

Hi. I went shopping and got corn russet potatoes and grapes. I restarted vegan yesterday. And today started from nothing going on my treadmill 5 minutes at a time 1 mile per hour. I hold on to the handles for balance that holding on counts the pulse beats. I have done 3 segments. my goal is 30 total minutes or .5 mile. Mu ultimate goal is 10 minutes at a time in 6 segments for 1 mile.

I'm getting frustrated for JD. Since he works in a "day care" type environment and they're deemed essential, he's working -which is good -but they've cut all their hours so now he's only working 4 hours a day (5 but he gets an hours worth of breaks). They've cut all their hours and split the shifts but he needs to file for "work share" unemployment (not sure if that's every state, but if the employer cuts 10-40% of the workers hours, the state unemployment fills in the missing time $$ BUT the employer has to sign up to allow it, and I don't think his boss has even considered it. I told JD to start checking into grocery delivery since they're getting a lot of work right now - not the kind where you have to shop, but the kind where you just pick up the order and deliver it to the customers door).
