Good morning! Yesterday I did Fitness Blender's upper body strength workout from the Bored Easily series. I also did most of the week's shopping, and I cleaned out the refrigerator. Shopping nowadays is stressful, so I try to get everything I can done at once.

Cynthia, I'm sorry to hear about your DD's grandmother. How hard for your DD not to be able to see her. Praying they somehow come up with a vaccine or some way to solve this problem ... I hadn't heard of Andra Moran. I just looked her up and it looks like she lives in Nashville. She does have a sweet voice! Thanks for mentioning her ... DH thinks the interview went ok. I feel like they were looking for someone more "corporate" and less musical than he is. We'll see what they say. There is another church he interviewed with a while ago that wants him to come in person and lead a rehearsal/church service etc. after all the restrictions ease up. Everything is kind of on hold right now, of course.

Diana, I am sorry the work is so hard right now. I know it's exhausting to move out of a house. I can't imagine how it is to move out of a huge shop. Glad you have friends to help you. I hope you and your DH can get some time to rest! ... Thanks for the update on Linda.

Lynn, I hope you will get to see your parents within the next few months. In China they are pretty much opened up again at this point. I know someone there who says that the danger where she is has pretty much passed. Hopefully that is correct and the same happens for us.

Cheryl, yes it is rough not to see relatives. DD had planned to bring her beau to meet her grandparents. She met his grandmother before the quarantine.

The Ford place just texted & my car is ready. It needed a new battery -- the factory issue lasted nearly 5 years -- and some computer cleanup/reset. I'll walk there for most of today's exercise.

Lauren Brooks Shut up and Train 1. Decided to get back to kettlebell training.

Cynthia, glad the car is fixed. Sounds like it wasn't a major problem.

Cheryl, personally, I think the danger is going to be here for quite some time. Also since I'm about to turn 65 and since DH has an underlying condition I can't afford to take chances.

Added on my pushups, 26 today. The challenge calendar has the day's assignment in odd numbers; I prefer even.

So glad to have my car back. Didn't cost much or take long to fix, but it sure was scary in the mornings while I fought to get it started so I could get DD to work.

I don't know what I'll do for exercise tomorrow but it won't be walking! 2+ miles uphill (& somehow, it's uphill both ways LOL) takes 45 minutes and requires a change of shirt.

Today I did three Jessica workouts: Slim Saddlebags/Reduce Inner Thighs, 10-Minute Lower Body, and her 11-Minute lower body circuit walk. I also walked a mile outdoors. I will stretch tonight.

I didn't know that I could be eligible for one of the forgivable small business loans (basically a grant), because as an independent contractor I am considered a small business. I have submitted some applications to see if I can get one accepted before the money runs out (again). Praying that I am successful.

Lynn, my DH also has an underlying condition, so I understand. I guess I am just hoping they develop an effective vaccine.

Cynthia, glad your car was fixed. I also had a failed battery just a couple of weeks ago on my 5-year old car. They said that the age of the battery coupled with changing weather patterns really makes the battery die.

Hi Everyone!

Cynthia I'm glad your car is fixed.

Check-In: 10,000 steps

Have a Blessed evening!

barre 3 30 minutes.

Cheryl, hope you get the loan. I know my brother applied for one too. And yeah, let's hope for the vaccine soon. I know they are really working hard on getting one fast and skipping a lot of steps they usually take in the process, so it could go a lot faster than normal. There are some really wonderful people volunteering to be in the trials.

Diana3271 · 05-06-20, 01:21 PM

Cheryl I missed your post about trying to get some of the stimulus grants. Did you apply for unemployment? My hairdresser is an independent contractor and has been approved for some type of unemployment.
