My donut client brought me donuts and a mocha! I'm going to have to fight DD for my sprinkled cake donut. First time we've gotten donuts since this whole thing started. So I'm having donuts and coffee for an early lunch!
I am definitely eating my feelings lately. I literally can't stop eating. And nothing healthy, either - chips and ice cream. You know it's bad when yoga pants stop fitting.
It looks like we're going to have decent weather here starting on Wednesday and lasting through the weekend. The kids are so excited to swim. I'm just excited to do something besides the same stuff we've been doing since March.
186momx, sprinkled cake donuts are my fav. I think we've bonded over this. DH has been putting in a strong showing of supporting our local donut stores.. To the point that when they showed up on Sunday, the general consensus in our house was.. oh.. donuts. Again.. yay?
Our building just sent out an email for reopening. So there may be a potential for June? I'm not sure. Even if the city allows us to reopen, schools and camps are closed, so I am.. stuck home..

We actually had a really nice weekend. We had one group of friends who came by and dropped off cookies on Friday and then we had our other friends over for a BBQ last night, and it actually worked, as the adults were able to sit far apart enough, and the kids were amused with the idea of staying in their own hula hoop "bubble". It also helped that we quickly put an outdoor movie on so the kids could sit apart and just watched the movie as soon as they were 1/2 done eating. I was saying to DH that I'm so grateful COVID happened now vs. any of the previous summers, as this it the first summer since we've moved here that I feel like we have real friends. It took 3 years but I think we are finally building our social network here.
I've been sleeping terribly though and it's making me sooo tired. I think it's all the stress from work. We are just so busy. My anxiety is just through the roof. From past experience, I know there's not much I can do about it and I just need to ride it out...but it's tough.

I'm sore today from going four wheeler riding in the mountains yesterday. It was a blast and I'm probably crazy for thinking I want to buy a dirt bike.

I need to stop eating. The quarantine 15 is real and I really hate how I look. I have zero self control right now and am living on caffeine and sugar. It’s awful but I have no energy to deal with it now.

I dipped my toe into society this weekend. Friday was an epic fail. I wanted to drop off graduation cards to a couple of friends kids. They said they they were at the nieghbors. I go over and there is a birthday party going on! 40 people, no distancing, all eating buffet style at least outside. So I gave the cards and stood off to the side, but I then get a call that there could be positives at a local plant, so I had to run out of there anyway and back to my computer. That blew my mind, no acknowledgement of anything.
Saturday was better. A couple of friends. We sat around the fire, apart and listened to a couple of kids play music. I kept hand sanitizer in my pocket. FFFC, TMI I refused to use the bathroom and sqatted behind my car in the dark.
This is really stupid and nothing I’d normally do but I’m starting a juice cleanse tomorrow. It’s like 7 packets per day for 3 days.
I just feel like I need...something...I dk. I know I’ll lose weight and gain it back but I’m hoping to just feel lighter and healthier and be in a place to sort of start a re-set.
So our governor started reopening today and now all the kids are out to play in our neighborhood. I tossed my kids out at 5:45 and they didn’t come back until 8!! It was glorious. They were all running and riding bikes and not all on top of each other, and now they’re all planning to meet up again tomorrow.
Thank you Jesus. I may just hold on to my last shred of sanity.
rere, I don’t know how you don’t lose your shit. Hats off to you.
I think I was just shocked. This is so different than what I had been living and one reasons I hadn't been out. I had heard others views on the restrictions.
My oldest graduated yesterday. It was nice. We got rained on, but not too bad. We were in the foot ball stadium and they had assigned seats and no groups bigger than four. I can't believe the little 6 year old boy I met almost 12 years ago is headed to college in the fall. I am so proud of him.
