New Week, Same Deal

Groundhog week begins again.

Sort of ... not quite that dramatic, but pretty close.

I STILL haven't downloaded the Enneagram videos.  It's not as procrastinating as it appears.  Since you only get to view for a few days, I want to make sure I'm in the frame of mind to enjoy it (not task master it) -- and my "frame" has been all over the map.

First, it seems I can upload pictures if I go back to the old blog format, so that's something I'll do this week.  Good news.  Problem solving.

Next, my youngest thinks he has COVID.  His breathing feels "strange" -- all weekend, but he waits to tell me until Sunday night.  I slept horribly worrying about what was going on with him.  He's had no exposure and taken no risk beyond grocery stores, but he's worried so I'm worried.  He also gets some anxiety flare ups and this might be that -- seems like he doesn't feel too unwell, more concerned than sick.  No testing sights have available appointments.  Ugh.  Stay tuned.

Zoom baby shower was sweet.  Not fun, but what can you do in these times.  I was glad to be invited and I put on a real shirt for the day -- there's a win.

My habits are going well.  Routine feels okay.  Mood is ALL OVER THE PLACE.  One minute, I've got this, working the plan, doing the thing ... next minute I feel like I could cry and want to bury under the covers.  Maybe we all feel this way?!?!

Tomorrow is my FIRST Trader Joe's run since this started.  Rumor has it, masks are still required.  I'll go as they open at 9 o'clock.  I planned to go today, but Sunday evening went to hell after the phone call from my son and I didn't get my plan together (I want to go over a few recipes).

Other good news ... exactly ONE more Pete's Paleo to finish.  I'm ready to be done.  Big check off my list.

Things are ugly down here in GA.  Very, very few people are taking any kind of precautions.  Sports tournaments, crowded festivals, vacations, big parties, eating inside at crowded restaurants, travel on airlines for social trips.  You name it, they are doing it down here -- all without masks or distancing.  All this happening as schools begin talk of opening.  I have no kids in school and I need to drop this off my "worry-bitch" list.  Not my problem.  People are prioritizing sports, vacations and parties.  THEY can figure out how to put THEIR kids back to school.  Doesn't seem to bother them. It's weighing me down too heavily though.

I'm cautiously working out.  My back and heel are teetering on the edge, but I'm moving slowly forward.  Say a little prayer I can continue -- it's what's keeping me sane right now.  LOVE my new Hoka walking shoes.  I took a 5 mile power walk yesterday and they showed up!!  Well done, Hoka.  OBE is okay -- still finding what works for all my modification needs and total lack of coordination.  They changed their search engine (of course they did, ugh) and I can't search for low impact circuit anymore.  I can still find some classes by instructor though.

Stay well.  Pictures coming later today (unless my youngest needs help).  Later gators.
