You named your dog Petey? You have to be joking.

Had surgery a wk ago Thurs, came home Mon. Had 12" incision in front of throat for surgery to repair Laryngl Paralysis -- partial paralysis of the larynx, would have eventually resulted in suffocation, if not treated. The procedure tie's back 1/2 of the larynx muscles which serve as a flap covering the wind pipe when swallowing. 10% get aspirational pneumonia immediately post op -- he did, requiring 2 days extra hospitilization on IV's.
Petey's home with me now, doing well, but getting 17 pills a day down his gullet is an ordeal for both of us. He's extorting me for food. Turns his nose up at every possible dog food combo, but eagerly accepts roasted chicken & bread dipped in the juices. If I won't eat it, he refuses.
His dog park posse is eagerly awaiting his return in a couple weeks (dogs don't have to socially distance).
Caring for Petey is a welcome distraction & gives me something to do while hunkered down at home.
Our dogs & cats are enjoying all the quality time. No time to worry or feel sorry for ourselves.

Many of us are going to be going man-on-coronavirus soon (if not already), so let us get our pep going with a video from Marcus Nimbler:

Re: Quarantine: Whatcha Doing?
Nope! Opposite issue. Down ten pounds since the start, and 40 lbs down on the year.
Crazy, right?
Re: Quarantine: Whatcha Doing?
Congrats, that's a pretty big deal, bet it's a whole lot easier tying your shoes these days.
Crazy? Nope, weight loss is a head game, once you tune in you're good to go, any "diet" will work.
Good news for you is, you don't have to get a new wardrobe, those overalls should give you a plus or minus 40-50 lbs and still fit reasonably well.
I went on a crazy little binge decades back and put on 50 lbs, out of chatacter for me and I couldn't stand it.
Lost it pretty quickly once I decided to put an end to that. I'm lucky in that I always enjoyed working out, a little exercise and discipline keeps the pounds away. Stay tuned in and you'll get to where you want to get, it's a real game changer on a number of different levels. No Twinkies for you.

Had a catch with my son in the front yard yesterday. That was the first time in a long time. Memorable. He has gone a long way with those tosses in the yard. A neighbor walked by and said "just like old times"..... Enjoy life's little pleasures folks.

Re: Quarantine: Whatcha Doing?
^ that's what is rightfully called "quality time"

As for me, took yet another trip down nostalgia lane. One in which it was readily confirmed that the Yankees are the team of the Century:
And I baked a muffin loaf which I will save for tomorrow's breakfast.

Re: Quarantine: Whatcha Doing?
I’ve been losing some weight because I used to go out for lunch 3-5 times a week. Now it’s modest meals at home.a fan wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 11:56 pmNope! Opposite issue. Down ten pounds since the start, and 40 lbs down on the year.

Toothpick inventory took less time than expected. I used to live on the 13th floor on Rittenhouse Square, so my garden was just a half dozen plants. Now I’m in a bungalow in the city of Buffalo and have about 80 indoor plants which includes about 12 air plants and two new variegated gingers which are stunning. The repotting, trimming, fertilizing and water keeps me busy. I also have become adept at creating a nice garden in the front of my house and in the back with mostly perennials including 5 milkweeds which brings in the monarchs. Keeping a watchful eye on the over 250 tulips, daffodils and croci so that the rabbits don’t turn the tulips into a salad bar. Will be turning a portion of my backyard into a 10’x10’ raised garden. Just set up my big cement fountain. The one that the birds fail to realize isn’t a lavatory. I’ve turned into a Mr Wilson. I should change the name of my cat to Fremont.
Re: Quarantine: Whatcha Doing?
Damn, a s, color me impressed, sounds super nice. Think you've got the bird thing backwards though, you're the one who doesn't realize it's a bird lavatory.
If you're starting your plants from seed in the raised bed, this is a pretty good place to shop for seeds.

Tip of the hat to you Nigel. But remember it is called a water heater, not a Hot Water Heater. The water is cold when it enters....it’ll provide you street cred when talking about. Congrats on the job!

Yankee power!
So great to reminisce. What a team!
And, just as I promised myself, I completed re-reading Moby Dick. What a book!

If we need that extra push over the cliff, ya know what we do...eleven, exactly.
Re: Quarantine: Whatcha Doing?
youth, so do you get more street cred if you call it a cold water heater?
Re: Quarantine: Whatcha Doing?
Living in ADK Park, there's an abundance of hiking trails and day-trip mountains to climb, so that is a daily routine.
The balance of time is spent keeping my teenage daughter on task, no easy feat... she's an AA... made the All Attitude team here at home this past year. She's doing her school work via internet with video conferences, which under the circumstances, is pretty cool.
It goes against every grain of my old school disposition but we're installing an XBox for her today. Damn... read a book!, make some art!, take a hike!
