It seems to be hard to be watchful about calories now, much harder than pre-social distancing. I don't really know why that is, but it seems that knowing you can't get out and about makes you want to eat or at least it does at our house. Not good! I haven't gained yet, but I haven't lost either. I need to get back on track. Why does boredom = food? Not a good equation!

luanne, I love re-reading favorite books. It's like visiting an old friend, except you are a different person from the last time you read a particular book. I always find something new or a different way of looking at things in the book.

nashville11 , I'm finding the lack of eating out is helping me as far as the scale. I did make some cranberry orange bread but instead of one big loaf, I used 3 tiny tins. So 2 are in the freezer. Slows down the consumption. DH doesn't give a hoot about sweets but they call my name until they're gone! I admire you readers. Seems like all my reading is news or opinion pieces. I'm working on a 1000 piece puzzle that may take me the entire month of April. At least I'm listening to podcasts so it's not a complete waste of time!

Good morning! Welcome to another day where the news is pretty much all the same as it was yesterday and the day before. As for the big argument in the Situation Room, wonder who leaked that? I personally think that the JA desperately wants to get rid of Fauci because Fauci doesn't just automatically bow down to him. He's afraid it will hurt him politically to just fire him right now, so he's trying to build a case to get enough public opinion on his side so that he can toss Fauci. But then I have nothing to base that on other than gut feeling. He wants to make people think that there's a "cure" out there and Fauci is too cautious to let them have it. At least that's what I think, which really is worth nothing. conniefromct, good luck with your puzzle. I started a 500 piece one about two weeks ago and have really gotten no where with it. I just don't seem to have the patience.

I keep thinking, one of the reason, JA is pushing that one particular drug, is because he may have stock in that company, or something. It's always about the almighty dollar for him, so there must be a payoff if he can convince people to use that med.

Whatever the reason, it's a sure bet that it is somehow to benefit himself. The stock idea, Linda, sounds very plausible. It is a beautiful day here. We are sitting out on the patio and enjoying that. I need to make some hummingbird food a little later. Love watching them once they start coming around.

I am eating more fruit today. I got 4 big bags of grapes for the week. I am eating otherwise 1 cup and 1./4 keeps it under 30 points green.

The attitudes of "me me me screw you" are getting to me. Someone posted on a friends timeline on facebook "I'd rather die than give up my freedom" and I responded "but are you willing to kill for it? Because that's what's happening" and he said yes -he was! Then he lit into me calling me names and cursing at me. Yeah, ok buddy. Good luck to ya.

It seems this either brings out the very worst in people or it brings out the very best in some. There doesn't seem to be much in between. Went for a walk through the neighborhood, and it was nice to be out. Didn't see anyone other than waved to a mom playing hopscotch with her little girl in their driveway. That was nice. Remember playing hopscotch when you were a kid? I've made some hummingbird food, we had lunch on the patio, and just trying to concentrate on good things today.

TONY EVERS CAANCELED TOMORROWS PRIMARY DUE TO HEALTH REASSONA TO JUNE 9. BUT LEGISLTURE REPUBLICANS ARE APPEALING IT TO THE STATE Supreme Court ONE OF THE JUSTICES WONT RECUSE HIMSELF RUNNING AGAINST THE LIBERAL CANDIDATE I SUPPORT. THE STATE COURT HAS 5 REPUCLICAN HACKS AND ARE ONLY 2 REPONSIBLE MEMBERS. IF THEY SAY GOVERNOR EVERS DOESNT HAVE EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY.

These nasty people have always been here. Now that one of them sits in the WH they no longer have to hide in the shadows.
The KKK and others like them are alive and well and growing in numbers.
We are NOT one nation. We are divided in so many dangerous ways.
This is one of the reasons I speak out every time someone says, "that could never happen here!" Please look around. We are not special. Not that different. Denial is dangerous and deadly.

Oh Linda, how can you say that about our "Dear Leader", he has nothing but our best interests at heart!!!!!! He has so much faith in the drug and he cares for the American people so much that he wants everyone who is ill to take it and get better. So very caring, so very noble of him! So very experimenting on the American Public.....why he could almost go down in history as the American Josef Mengele. ( and...thinking ahead: Before they do take drug, he would request they sign a form not to sue anyone if it does not work.... )

Remember, Ann, he told us back at the beginning of this chaotic administration that he always wins lawsuits. (Guess he forgot about Trump University, etc. and it doesn't count if you pay Stormy before she takes you to court.) LOL!
