Day 2 Of Quarantine

So yesterday was good. I got up, watched the news (I'm trying not to obsess), ellipticalled, ate breakfast and then went to the grocery. The grocery wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. There wasn't any TP but I wasn't there for that. I was there for ground turkey (finally got it after 3 days of them being out), chicken (didn't have any breasts) and bananas. The bananas were green as hell but that's okay...they'll ripen up. I also got lucky at the seafood counter with crab cakes. I was hoping they'd have some and lo and behold they did! The meat and seafood counter was actually not too badly stocked so that's good. We should be good for a bit in terms of groceries at least through the week.

Once that was done, I came home and tried out the new yoga online subscription I signed up for - glo.com. I got a free 15 day trial and after that it's $18 a month. We'll see. I really liked yesterday's routine - it was a Vin yoga sequence. These poses are meant to stretch connective tissue...the poses are floor poses and you hold them for much longer. Yesterday (a 45 minute routine) we did dragon pose, pigeon, butterfly (and something else I can't remember) each held for about 7 minutes. It was pretty intense and my hips were LOVING it! I felt like I could do the splits afterward. I didn't but I probably could have. Today was a really good routine as well. It was just a nice 30 minute vinyasa flow. Energizing. Something I need for peace of mind with all that's going on right now.

After that, I took a lovely hot bubble bath then hunkered down with my book. I've mentioned that I'm reading 3 books right now and they are: Becoming by Michelle Obama, The Butterfly House Marcia Preston and then The Guest House by Sarah Blake. They're all really good.

Jim then came home and we just hung out until dinner (chicken marsala, couscous and broccoli). Speaking of Jim, he's currently off for at least the week. After completing/finishing up the job he was on yesterday he talked to his boss, Andrew. Andrew stated that there aren't any jobs currently where Jim can work alone and he just isn't comfortable with putting Jim on a job where he'd be interacting with others. If something comes up, sure but for the week, Jim's going to just stay home. They may end up laying him off so he can collect unemployment...we'll see. I know that Jim is relieved and I can't say that I'm unhappy because I was a little concerned about Jim contracting the virus. Scary.

So, with Jim home, the boys will get a nice walk today. Other than that, we have no plans. Jim's probably going to work around the house and get some shit done (probably just shift shit in the garage from one side to the other), I'll read and chill. Dinner tonight: Crab cakes, roasted potatoes and Mexican street corn. Yummy.

K - I'm out. Time to have a second cup of coffee and the walk my little Scoutie...who hasn't eaten his breakfast yet and is being stubborn! Happy Tuesday! Later!
