Nothing says the house needs to be reorganized more than “sheltering in place” do to the COVID19 outbreak. But I am limiting myself in the amount of time that I am spend. Today the hour before breakfast was spent putting our extra blankets in vacuum bags for John to put up higher in the closet after his work at home shift had ended. This gave me space for things I use all the time at a level that I could reach. Also more baskets and bags off the floor.
Another thing that I have noticed is that I am not eating enough during the day and find myself hungry at night. I did not have this problem before because we ate most of our meals out. Now that I am only eating when I am hungry and not planning my eating times around how crowded a restaurant will be I am just eating less. We are also eating better sized portions and healthier food. Take to day for instance I had only had 560 calories from the time I woke up until after dinner. This meant that I had to eat roughly 700.calories before bed. So my bedtime snack was a toasted cheese sandwich, dried fruit and a breakfast bar.
Even worse this is the time when I would normally be shopping for smaller clothes. Wearing the skirt at the rib cage is uncomfortable. I am a touchy feely person when it comes to clothes shopping, gee it must be the fiber arts in me. I like to feel the fabric before I try on clothes. Today’s skirt was 6 inches above my waist sitting on my rib cage to keep from tripping on the skirt or having it fall as I walk. Real first world problems during a pandemic.
Well it is time to wind down for the night.
