Ah, that would be a no-go then.
I had a salad for dinner last night, probably again tonight, too.

Just got a call this morning saying my hernia surgery scheduled for Friday is cancelled. BD is not real happy about that because the discomfort level has been increasing lately and a hernia has the potential of creating some very nasty complications, and who knows how long this pandemic will run. The way I see it the complications could alter my overall health to the point of making me very vulnerable to covid-19.
Not happy. Not happy at all.

It's ok, I am not crying poverty. Yet. If we have to freeze paychecks completely, then I may get upset. And it's possible. Our visit volume is down by 50% and since our overhead is >50% and fixed, that means we are just generating enough to cover our rent/staffing etc., stay tuned.
i think, given the overall situation, I’d be willing to part with up to $200 for a nice bottle of whiskey. Though I have to say, I’m finding sooooo much value in the $35 bottle of Suntory Toki I’ve been enjoying lately. The other day, I found Oban14 on sale at my local establishment and needless to say grabbed a bottle too

So i went to the supermarket for the second time today about mid-day. It was just as packed as 8 am this morning and shelves were just as empty of many items. I went to get coffee which I forgot earlier and there was plenty on the shelves. In an e-mail from my niece living in our hometown in upstate NY, she told me stores there were nuts.
Regarding panic, I've heard it said that optimists have not fully understood the problem. I've had a very silly scene playing out in my head after observing local behavior. Astronomers detect a huge asteroid barreling toward Earth. It is as big as the one that killed off the dinosaurs. There is near panic among the people rushing to stores to stock up on toilet paper.

I was at the liquor store, hell bent on buying a certain bottle if I saw it... but I didn't see it. And then I started looking over my other options, doing quick Google searches, etc. I'm sure this is something that nooooo addicts can identify with, but in the end I succumbed to analysis paralysis and walked out empty-handed but determined to come back better prepared.

In an interesting twist, the collapse of oil prices dropped the peso:dollar exchange rate 3%. This afternoon I got 21.43 pesos to the dollar, the highest I've ever gotten. At the same time, gas prices fell significantly. I just got richer across the board. Mexicans not so much.
And Home Depot stock dropped 20% today. I read somewhere that this is what panic looks like.

Just inside the door at Costco, there were sales of a few items. Fila running shoes, for $20, was my panic purchase of the day. My current shoes are not safe to walk in and the ones I ordered from Amazon could still be a week away. They also had nylon shorts at a great price. I picked up a pair of those to use as cycling shorts as we head back into the hot season.

Spinach, grape tomatoes, 1 hard-boiled egg, and a bunch of vegetables I roasted yesterday (brussels sprouts, red bell pepper, onion). I am regretting the blue cheese dressing- I didn't count calories today and I should have gone with oil & vinegar.
