Too Much

I ate too much junk yesterday afternoon.  I have no idea why -- I started down a cheese road that ended in some cookies and I feel like crap this morning.  My energy is in the tanker and this is a morning I need my energy.  When will I learn?

Walmart for the first time in over a year.  Gift cards and checking out the cleaning supplies.  I'm nervous, but hopeful I can get in and out quickly.

COVID is everywhere.  Several people in our virtual bookclub have family members with it and/or are in quarantine themselves after exposure.  I feel like it's a good chance I will encounter someone in a huge store that has it.

Meanwhile ... our neighborhood put out the December activity list.  Evening with Santa at the lodge.  9 home holiday tour.  Dinner out.  Lunch out.  Friday Fun inside.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!  Honestly, what are they thinking.  These are the same people I might see at Walmart -- don't care, barely a precaution to be seen, "pod" includes anyone they know -- UGH.  This would be so nice in a regular year -- not in an uncontrolled pandemic.

I looked to see if there was a better day to do this errand and I can't find it.  Best to go before the Christmas shopping mad rush begins.  Hopefully, I'm going just ahead of the Thanksgiving rush too.

Can you tell I have some anxiety about going this morning?  I know it's amplified by the gluten in the cookies.  It's so interesting how gluten changes my mood.  (I'm making two kinds of GF cookies in December so I can enjoy too -- I should have done that yesterday.)

Good news is we are giving the kids each a big gift so Christmas shopping is basically finished.  Stocking stuffers and that's all.  Hubby and I also got each other something already so nothing more needed.  Other than grocery shopping, I don't need to be out and about much at all in December.  I can safely nest at home.

Bookclub was nice.  Steelers won.  I did an interval and arm Peloton class yesterday and it was okay.  I'll probably stick to keeping arms and riding separate.  Today is a regular bike class to flush that dang gluten. Making the cranberry sauce this afternoon -- first official Thanksgiving dish of the week. 

That's all from here.  Hope you have a happy day at the start of this holiday week.  Stay well.  Later gators.
