@MusicCandy @SadMe70 A place to communicate
@MusicCandy Hello! I have to get ready for work but will post more later!
Hello, I had another good exercise week, and mostly stayed away from the junk at school. There was less junk this week, but yesterday I ate two thin Oreos and half a brownie bite. Then I came home and my husband had ordered pizza and I ate 3 pieces. A friend from high school brought her daughter to visit the college in Fredbg on Thursday, and I went into town to meet them for dinner, and ate stuff that was not so healthy. So I had 2 bad food days, but otherwise good. No alcohol until 2 glasses of wine last night.
I like your sticker idea! I don't think it's silly. It's a concrete visual way to see that you have stuck to your plan. I used to carry notes to myself in my pocket to work to try and encourage myself to not eat the junk. How is it going so far with eliminating a day?
I did not get to the mountains last weekend due to the weather, but I found a great alternative. There is a place about 45 from me, near Fredericksburg, called Crow's Nest. It is not a state park but is some other designation, like natural area I think. It's bordered by two creeks that come together right at the Potomac. I had a lovely walk there! I did a 3 mile trail out to one creek, then drove around to the other parking area and saw the other creek and did a 1 mile trail there. There are 3 more trails that and I look forward to going back! I did not realize how nice it was there, or I would not have waited 20+ years of living here to finally visit! Then on Monday I went to one of my local state parks and walked on a trail that I have not been on since summer. A great weekend overall!
I hope your meal delivery went well last week. It is very kind of you to do so much for others! I hope things are going well for you in general, and that you got your sticker this week!
Hey- I DID it! In fact, I abstained 2 nights and drank herbal tea instead of wine. Anyything for a sticker. I am lucky that I am a high achiever in most everything - including getting stickers.The key is just having something- anything- tangible-- not just telling myself that I am going to do it. The tea was warm and soothing and I slept well. I intend to keep it up and 2 nighta is certainly do-able. I also thought of doing it early in the week to get it over with. The mind games we have to play sometimes*
The group meditation with the prayer ministers was very nice this morning. We rarely get together , all of us so we only interact with our week's group most of the time. But the priest came and talked a bit and led a healing meditation for us and it was powerful. We know we must be healed ourselves in order to help others. It is my week tomorrow and I want to invite a church friend that really needs that beautiful reflective and healing atmosphere. I hope she comes.
Your week sounds GOOD! I'm proud that you didn't eat too many sweets. The Crow's Nest sounds like a great road trip for me and fiance when it gets a little warmer. I'll look it up. Anything with water and the river is always my preference. . I have my worrk here at the hospital to finish up toniight and the usual week of piano pessons and Rachael care ect. It is a year since my mom's death and the hospice nurse called as a courtesy. My other daughter went to the grave site by herself and ate lunch and had " a long talk". I'm glad she could do that. She was a good grandma. My daughter took a picture of herself sitting on the grass in her high heels. Typical of their shared love of glamour. no mourning for me, just trying to live my best life and forget the bad stuff.
I hope you have a nice Sunday end to your days off and can get back to work refreshed. Keep up the good exercise and meals. I'll be putting a virtual sticker up for you.
Good for you on skipping 2 nights of wine!! Getting it done early in the week is a good idea too. I am a big fan of herbal tea myself, though I haven't been drinking it as often lately. I drink water with Citrucell with my dinner and then sometimes the tea. Last night was all wine though. I forgot to drink a cup of water in between glasses of wine. I did not drink during the week though, still sticking to that one in an attempt to remove one thing that makes me sleep worse.
My eating was ok. So far still not eating the junk at school but I have been eating way too much chocolate at home. They are actually going to do the weight loss challenge at school again, so that might give me a little boost. We start Feb 12. I wish the administration would be more supportive by not putting out all the junk, but based on last year, I know they will. The principal even does the challenge herself, but then puts out junk for all the people who don't care and just want to eat junk. I feel like they could bring their own junk, at least for the 8 weeks of the challenge!
I'm glad you got to do your group meditation. It does sound relaxing. I have done some guided relaxations on calm.com to get to sleep sometimes, but I haven't tried it lately.
I got an x-ray this week, and surprise, it was perfectly normal since the doctor, my physical therapist, and I all knew that my shoulder problem was not likely to be bone related. Now they will try again to order the MRI so we can see the soft tissue, which is where we actually think the problem could be. Can't wait to see how much a completely unnecessary x-ray is going to cost me.
It was nice of the hospice nurse to call on the anniversary of your mom's death. The place where my dad died had services for people who had died there in the past 3 months and then again at one year, and the funeral home did something similar. I went to two of them with my mom, and I think my sister went to one other one with her. Next month will be 3 years since his death. I'll be taking off a day and spending a weekend with my mom and probably my sisters. We usually go out to lunch or dinner together one day.
I hope you have had a good week and earned another sticker!
@SadMe70
This week was pretty good for me health wise. I made it through 4 nights of no wine. The more I read the more I'm convinced that an occasional glass or 2 is OK, but every night is brain damaging. YIKES! After I skipped the first 2 nights, the next night I came hoime tired and had a lot to do so I poured a glass and kept on- I drank too much too fast and then I didn't rest at all. Which was the point - to relax and go to sleep- or so I tell myself. The other nights I had warm herbal tea and it was so much better. The hard part was getting started. I think I can keep this pattern up even without the stickers, The white wine has been in my frig all week . i know there will be times I'm tired and want to give in, but I'm going to do my best. My liver will thank me. You seem to be doing great in that way. Are you planning for Lent abstaining this year? It's coming up so soon - time flies.
I hope you can do the challenge at work if it will motivate you. I don't get someone who is trying to do it bringing in junk for everyone else. I went down to the ER break room and saw the tiny cupcakes and just said " that is sugar poison". The chocolate and cookies are my weak area too. As soon as I get a strong handle on the wine thing I want to tackle the sugar cookies next. As for Chocolate-- well--.we'll see.
I'm so sorry they made you have the useless x-ray. We get so many patients who think x-ray is needed for every pain and ache. The vast majority of x-rays are negative anyway. Doctors don't want to be bothered with trying to explain so they just go along. It is a huge waste of money that's true. In your case - I sincerely hope they will go ahead with the non-radiation MRI which should show what you need to know. such a pain to have to go through the hoops of insurance
I'm working through tonight and Healing Prayer as a sub tomorrow evening. Its super bowl so I guess someone wanted off for a party. I don't care at all about any of that broadcast and I hate football (TBI anyone?) so I am happy to do it. I hope you have a fun day and I won't hold it against you if you do like it - most of my family and friends do too . Cheers to February.
Hello! Well I have not lost any weight but I feel good about this past week. Other than eating way too much chocolate at home, I've eaten well. There was no junk at school until Friday, which was a double whammy - the monthly birthday food orgy plus a baby shower. I avoided the shower specifically because of the junk, and didn't eat anything from the kitchen spread either. Today we are celebrating my son's birthday and there will be pie, pizza, and alcohol so I know today will be bad, but I will get back to being good tomorrow! I had wine last night but a reasonable amount. I think I might abstain from alcohol for Lent again this year. I'm also thinking of trying a dairy-free few weeks again to see if that is the problem with my hands. I may start that tomorrow, and perversely hope that my hand pain does not go away because I do not want to give up dairy!! I also exercised pretty well this week, so overall a good week. Our first weigh-in at work is this coming Wednesday. I have not heard back about whether anybody ordered an MRI for me yet.
The bad part of my week was entirely my scatter-brained fault. We have a truck that I usually drive only to the feed store, so about once every month. I mostly go on weekends, but I needed to go last Monday so I drove it to work. I got pulled over because it turns out the inspection expired in October!! I never noticed. So now I have a $94 ticket. Sigh.
It sounds like you are doing well with the wine overall! I think I few times a week is not harmful, especially in moderation. After I abstain all week and look forward to my weekend drinking though, I often do what you did - too much too fast and sleep really badly. It's hard to think about that when I'm feeling mellow in the moment! We do the best we can with this particular temptation. Good job leaving the white in the fridge all week! I know how hard that is. I am also with you about how nice the warm herbal tea is at night. I have a few kinds that I really like. Keep up the good work!
I did not watch the Super Bowl. I followed the Ravens avidly for about 5 years but in addition to being disgusted by the salaries earned by pro sports players, I became more disgusted by so much criminal behavior, Ray Rice of the Ravens being one of the last straws for me. The league itself taking mostly such a soft stance - I can't believe the league allowed Michael Vic to return for example - didn't help. If I hadn't already stopped watching, the kneeling for the national anthem would have pushed me over the edge. I think your prayer was a much better way to spend the day. I went for a hike at the state park.
I hope your week has been good! I always look forward to your messages! It helps me to have you out there!
Well it looks like we both had a pretty good week with the resolutions anyway.Like you, if there is an event or party where i know the bad stuff will be out on the table, I try to avoid it entirely. There are 4 boxes of cookies downstairs in the ED plus 3 more packages in the break room. and its not even V-Day yet. I know I'm still eating more cookies and candy than I need to but I am trying to curb it down at least. The wine was GREAT lats week. I had 2 glasses one night when fiance and I spent some time together- but that was all. The next night I briefly thought about gettiung a glass out of the frig, but I quickly made a cup of tea. TThankfully, there were no big stress events and that helps, plus a reasonable going to bed time. I am proud of both of us.
So sorry for the ticket. Man, its just the waste of money and at least no points. I had a fender bender on Christmas night but fiance fixed his car that I was driving. Still, it was my fault so insurance will likely go up - but I pay it so oh well. I had no violations in 5 years so I had 5 point plus - now its just 1 plus point . No one was hurt so I'm thankful.
We see eye to eye on the football deal. I agree with your points too. They are treated like gods; however- they are getting horrible brain injuries that may not be found until later. I'm a basketball fan and our season is coming up now. Rachael loves to shoot even though she doesn't get it in the basket - she still enjoys the process and like to give others a turn. she is so cute asking for her :ball" at the gym.
I hope you get in another hike or two this week. I havent gone anywhere to walk other than the neighborhood and the mall when it rained. Looking forward to warmer weather and longer walks. Always a lift to my work shift to hear from you. 
Hello! I had a good week up until Friday. I ate well and did my exercise. On Wednesday a little girl gave me an early Valentine with a small heart box of chocolates which I threw away unopened. My mom always sends me a box from a really good chocolate shop - I put that one in the freezer. Friday morning there were 4 boxes of heart shaped filled donuts in the staff kitchen and I didn't eat any BUT I got a little baggie of caramels from the local chocolate shop and ate the whole thing. That got me started and I received another little heart box and ate those (3 pieces) plus a Reece's heart that my friend gave me.
Yesterday I went hiking in the mountains and had a LOVELY hike, about 5 miles. It was not as cold as I expected and I got to an overlook that was very pretty. The whole thing was peaceful and wonderful. I had not been to the mountains for a few months and I was so glad to be back! Then we went to dinner at our favorite Indian place. They do cakes for Valentine's and our friends who own it had saved us cake so I ate that too. We had our first weigh-in last Wednesday for the competition at work. I need to get back on track now that the holiday is over! We are going to our son and DIL's house for dinner tonight. I know there will be alcohol but hopefully not much junk. I am taking a veggie tray!
I just downloaded tax software and I might get started on that this weekend. Blech! I need to help my younger son with theirs and I want to get mine done first. This will be my first year with no dependents!
How did you survive all the cookies etc. around your workplace? I hope your resistance was better than mine! Good job on the wine last week!! It sounds like that is working really well for you!
I hope your week has been great and you have been able to enjoy the sunshine!
@SadMe70
Hello, I didn't work last sunday when you posted so I missed your message. for some reason I only go on this site at work. It was nice to hear you made it through V-Day with some time with your friends and cake just comes with the territory. If I was still teaching I'm sure i would have had to deal with a lot more "gifts" too. not too much at work which helped me. I found a way to sell most of my Kindewrmusik instruments YEA. She is expanding her business and would have to pay a lot more retail to out fit a new studio. I'm giving her a great deal and finally cleaning out the many shelves of 25 plus years . I have some specialty items of different cultures and I'm trying to get those in good hands when they use them for nonprofit classes and performances. Pretty good luck so far. It seems like a monumental task but after a solid week of cleaning, sorting,boxing ect. i can at least see the end. Now for all the CRAFT stuff - a ton of that too.
I did have a good week with the wine. 3 weeks now with wine only 1 night. I have been tempted several times when I was tired, but I resisted and just went to bed with my tea. Still, I havent lost any weight so I must make up for it with cookies and chocolate. But I do feel better about accomplishing that and I hope my labs will be better when i get my next check up. So, my friend - if i EVER go back on this- please remind me that I can just cut out One night- and that worked. Then its a challenge for myself to cut out more but i only need to think ONE.
We had only a dusting of snow- thank goodness. I don't like driving in it. Now back at work for the week-end. I have prayer ministry Sunday . everything else going pretty well for now. My taxes are Done! So get with it girlfriend. - you'll be glad when its all finished. till next time..
Hello, Well not my best week for eating or exercise. We went to my son's for dinner Sunday night and he had a bag of Most Stuff Oreos which I never even heard of, but I ate a ton of them. Other than that, I ate ok all week but I was 4 pounds heavier at the weigh-in on Wed than I was last week. I was off Monday so I didn't go to the Y, and on my yoga night I had a friend visiting from high school and we went to dinner. So my only exercise this week was one morning and one afternoon at the Y.
I'm glad you are finding good homes for your instruments. I totally understand wanting the special ones to go to the right person. I hope you can find someone for all the instruments! Good for you for cleaning out too! I have many clean out projects that need doing and I never do them.
You are rocking the low wine consumption!! Even without weight loss, it's good for your body and for your sleep too probably. I've been good with no alcohol during the week and not terrible on the weekends. I had 2 glasses last night. I will be here if you ever need reminding that you can start with one day off!
We got no snow here at all. It was cold but sunny. It is pretty today and I should go walking but I have not been feeling super this week and right now I have no energy. I'm actually going to lie down and I rarely take naps.
Good for you on the taxes! I fired up the software and put in our W-2s but that's as far as I got last weekend. I want to get mine done first so I can do my son's afterwards, and I don't want to leave his too long because I know there will be some kind of confusing snag like last year because of his wife's in between status during much of 2019.
Enjoy your week and keep up the good work with the wine!!

You can also confess to me when you have a difficult week.not everybody understands. I want to encourage yu to stick with the program at work even though the scale treated you bad this week. Remind yourself that a few pounds up can mean a lot of different things besides bad eating / exercise .. hormones, stress, lack of sleep ect. Try to just say you are going to do it no matter what. I remember when my younger daughter was in middle school was struggling, or maybe not really trying actually which isn't a struggle at all -- but she got an f on science, after a D i think. at the parent conference I said - well, there is no were to go from here but up! So just don't give up.
It is hard when you don't meet your personal goals , expecially when your body needs therapeutic exercise. I know how you ffel withg the low energy. I had to push myself out of bed to come in at 3 today after working 11-7 last night. I felt drained and tired for a few hours and just kept drinking coffee and then I got my stairs done so I feel better now. I have all night to work and the computers will be down extended time so that is extra hassle. Maybe we won't be too busy.
I'm still doing OK with the wine. The couple of night I had a glass last week, it wasn't even that great. As long as I can get a cup of tea made PDQ I can usually get through the temptation to drink when I don't need to. My cleaning out has been a huge project as I knew it would be. But finding someone to purchase some stuff, even at discount was a big motivation for me. I think we all need that to just get started. Are you getting baby goats this spring? My coworker had 3 born 2 weeks ago - so cute. I'm looking forward to the warm weather so the indoor cleaning hasn't been bad with the cold and rain. - oterwise I want to be outdoors when it's nice. I hope you get a hike or something fun this week-end. Here for you too!
I had a better week this week. I did all my regular exercise and ate well. I was down 2 pounds at the weigh-in, which is still 2 pounds up from week 1, which is about 10 pounds up from last fall, but at least I didn't go up again. I so appreciate your support - it helps me so much to see your encouraging messages each week and know that I have someone who understands that I can tell these things to!
Lent sneaked up on me and I didn't mentally prepare myself for no alcohol, but I'm doing it anyway (except for the anniversary of my dad's death) because I feel that I should. It does not compare with the sacrifice made for us by Jesus, but it is my own small way of sacrificing something to show my appreciation of all that I have been given.
I also decided to follow your one-day-without model, but with sugary treats. It's not really Lent-related, but I'm using Lent as my trial period. It helps me to have some kind of structure like that. So this past Wednesday I did not eat my chocolate treats at lunch or dinner. That was really hard, let me tell you! Not so much lunch since I had to go get busy with the rest of my workday, but sitting around all evening craving it was tough. I ended up eating some pieces of cheese even though I am trying not to eat dairy for a few weeks (I'm at week 2 or so of that, I actually lost track of when I started). My hands are a little less painful and stiff but who knows if that is related to the dairy abstinence or not.
Good for you for getting your stairs done even when you didn't feel the energy! I know your body felt better after doing them, and your mind as well. You have been going so strong with having tea instead of wine! I'm very proud of your commitment! You've inspired me to try it with sugar, something I never thought I would even attempt.
I'm also impressed with your cleaning out. I had hoped to clean out one area of my basement last summer and didn't really even get started. That area is still stacked with stuff and unusable.
I will have baby goats this spring! My two smaller goats are well into their pregnancies, and due in April. They are looking big and I can feel the babies. I still do not know if my big goat is pregnant. She did not have babies last year so she's been dry a whole year now. I'll be very disappointed if she is not pregnant. It is much harder to tell on her because she's very big and never shows much. Fingers crossed on her!
Tonight I am going to the 50th anniversary of our county's library, which was built and stocked in 1970 by a private citizen and given to the county with an endowment. I was on the board of trustees for 4 years a while back so I got invited to an event tonight. It is semi formal and since none of my dressy pants fit me, I am going to have to suck it up and wear a dress! And nylons (bleh!!). I have a dress that I bought for my son's wedding but didn't ever wear since we had the Korean clothing. Luckily it has no waist so it should fit. I have 5-6 pairs of old pantyhose and hopefully one of them will fit me. I am not a good dresser-upper! It is a cocktail event so this will be a good test for me. I am driving myself so that will help my resolve to not drink..
I hope you have a wonderful week. Thank you for being here for me, and know that I am out here supporting you too!

Hello -- I actually read your post last week before I left work. I'm just now getting back to you.
It was another clean out week. I have a lot of MY stuff done, but fiance's is just overwhenling and it makes me crazy. I am going to just start pulling the junk out and I don't care how long it takes. 2 baskets full of wound up wires. Whatthe F! It is stacked to the ceiling covering my once beautiful basement. Thats not even mentoning the yard.
I hope you enjoyed the library event.I used to dress up a lot, but not so much anymore. Maybe an awards dinner coming up this year. I just don't go out dancing like I used to. I can relate to putting in stops for yourself with the drinking. I did the same last week - wine one night. But there are still evenings when I feel out of sorts getting last minute chores done without that little something. I try to press on and get it done and then when i do lie down with my tea i'm fine.
The COVID has us all on extra precautions at the hospital. I don't know if it helps but only one entrance is open to everyone and a nurse is stationed there 24-7 to ask questions .. and really who knows if you have been around someone who traveled out of the country? Besides, it's popping up in all different states , so what difference does that make! Wash your hands and don't touch your face - same as everything else we are protecting from. Work is going OK with my last shift now. 1 less hour tonight.
We have Wednesday services in Lent and I'm taking a Nursing home friends to the AM Eucharist and then fixing a soup for the supper along with evening service. We are supposed to all take turns with the food. I don;t plan on going every week, but I have a great recipe for shortcut Italian vegetable soup. So that will be my contribution. I hope you get some relaxation and keep up your abstention the best you can. We're in it together..
Hello,
I continue to be impressed by your cleanout! Your basement sounds like mine. Ours is crammed full everywhere. We also have a box of wires on spools!
I had a pretty good week with food and exercise, not even too much junk. I am headed to my mom's today until Monday, for the third anniversary of dad's death. I am looking forward to it a lot, though not happy about the various public places I will have to go, such as places to go to the bathroom along the way and the restaurant where we are all meeting for lunch on Sunday. My route is through some counties where there are some COVID cases. I would like to go as few places as possible as this virus spreads.
As you probably heard, all VA schools are closed for the next 2 weeks. I'm not sure how much good that will actually do unless they extend it until the virus is more controlled, though that of course causes many problems for families with daycare challenges, kids who get free food at school, etc. Our district has given staff Monday off but has not notified us beyond that. My MRI is FINALLY approved and scheduled for Friday, and I have to go but I sure don't want to be in a place full of people like that. I am not the panicky type, but why expose ourselves to more people than necessary if we are trying to contain the spread of a virus.
I did get a nice 4 mile walk after work yesterday since the time change makes it lighter until later. I did enjoy that and I'll be glad to switch back to doing that instead of treadmill at the Y on Friday afternoons!
Not much other news from here! I hope your week has gone well!!
@SadMe70
The news changes every few hours it seeems! I thinkyou might as well have been off this week to visit your mom since nothing else can be done work wise anyway. I know the anxious feeling - but there is only so much you can do.. its everywhere now. I saw that your MRI was scheduled for today. i hopw that went well. Some hospitals are putting off nin emergency procedures but here we are OK with most routine tests.
We are seeing probably positive patients through the ED but they are screening at the door to hopefully get the "yes" to answers people isolated. It is a strange world all around. Our hospital is small in comparison to most so we are not getting slammed with virus patients -- yet. We can still have crazy times with just the usual but that would make it so much worse.
Rachael's day center is closed so we have been trying to stay active with long walks in the neighborhood and basketball outdoors. The gym/pool is closed so that is a change for her, but so far she has been OK with the altered routine. She is with her Dad on week-ends so now that I'm at work I just have to trust that she will be happy and well. Churches closed so that is a change for me. We cooked and delivered a meal to the shelter but everything else is cancelled. I'm wondering about Easter.. if that is cancelled it will be a BIG deal. We all are just adjusting as best we can.
How about your work? Some schools are closing for months . do you still get a paycheck? nosy me. * But i do worry about the many folks who have no income now or have to wait for unemployment to kick in. That is one advantage I have despite the risks. We are taking every precaution and have PPE available. I could just as easily be exposed at the grocery store anyway. Just good hand hygeine for everyone will help and staying away from crowds. I don't like them anyway so that is just as well from my viewpoint** Introverts Unite! ( safely, in your own homes)** I saw that on the internet.
I hope you have some down time from your visit and we will see what comes next. Prayers for everyone suffering.
Hello, all is well here for now.
The first thing I want to say is a big thank you to you, as a healthcare worker. I have always been impressed with your dedication and long hours, and I continue to be glad that there are people like you out there.
I spent the weekend with my mom and came home Monday. It was a good visit. My son and his wife spent the weekend there with us as well. On Sunday we met with my sisters, aunt, and my other son for our annual lunch in dad's honor. I took mom to the grocery store on Monday and stocked her up. I hoped she would not go out again, but she has been to the store again already.
Our schools are closed through next week so far, though I suspect it will be longer. Other area schools have extended from the original 2 weeks to a month. We are supposed to get paid, and I am very grateful for that. Some staff have to go in, but so far, I have not been asked to go. (For example, they are distributing prepackaged meals at all schools and 2 other locations every few days - something that is very needed by some of our kids and I am so glad they are doing it.) I am actually very lucky since we have sufficient food, no kids at home, and money. It has actually been a mentally restful week for me, something I needed. I feel a bit guilty about that considering the many hardships others are going through.
I had my MRI moved up to Wednesday. It shows tendinopathy, and possible tears to the labrum and to some muscle that I forget the name of. When things get back to normal I'll be going to see an orthopedist and see what to do about that.
I am not surprised to hear about Rachael's day center being closed. I hope that you are able to keep her active over what might be a long time period. It must be confusing to her. I went to our state park the other day and there were about 50 cars there, far more than I have ever seen when there was no event. I left and went to the rail trail where there was one car and walked there instead. Today I went back and walked at the state park today despite the many cars. I correctly guessed that the majority would be on the trails to the river and not the wooded trails. By the time I got to the farthest out trail, I had it all to myself.
I think my mom's church closed as well, which will be hard on her. Living alone has been lonely enough for her, but now she can't go to her usual places (gym, church, lunch with a friend). I stocked up on plenty of food, and had planned not to go anywhere except outdoor walks for as long as I'm out of school, but I'm already wanting more fresh produce. I should suck it up and eat the frozen stuff I have. I have been good about not overeating treats, and have exercised some almost every day. I actually enjoy being able to both sleep in and and then exercise - usually I have to choose one or the other on weekends due to lack of time. Being home all day has made it hard to keep to my Lenten alcohol abstinence though. I had a few sips of my husband's glass of wine last night, and I don't know if I can keep from caving in further.
Other than parks and possibly the grocery store, I too have no desire to go anywhere else. Like you, I am not a crowd kind of person! I have spent an hour on several days sitting outside the goat pen reading a book and watching the animals. My kind of day! If school is out longer, I might be home for the arrival of the baby goats.
I am thinking of you and all the others who have to continue to go to work, in order to keep the world running. Stay safe my friend!!
