Today: Wednesday

Bought this lime-tree on sale for $80- eighty bucks. I put aside $300 so I could go on a plant shopping-spree; nothing extravagant like $80 lime-trees, but more of cheaper indoor ornamentals. But I changed my mind. Got anxious at the last minute thinking of all that responsibility. So far, we’ve bought a grand total of eight, two of which- silver cypresses- have died.

The sun’s out and throughout the day, I would go out the porch or the deck upstairs to catch some sun- something I thought I wouldn’t ever do.

Work has been intense- I work as if I’m a driver on a race-track and the objective is endurance. I stop only when necessary. I’m focused. Everything done as quick as they arrive. And I make sure I’m always ahead.

It’s exhausting but oddly satisfying- like bacon and eggs on rice.

I’m due for my regular blood-test soon so wondering how that would go with the lockdown diet. But to be fair, it has been a balanced one- though I think I’ve had more beef and pork over these last few weeks than I’ve ever had prior. But mind you, we only eat a major meal once a day.

The morning and afternoon’s ‘meals’ consist of lattes, espressos instant coffees and leftovers amounting to just two cups at the most. I thought that chips/crisps would sabotage me, but I haven’t had them as much as I was expecting.

If there were two food items I could store/hoard, it would surely be bacon and eggs- you have fat there and protein and salt which I would prefer any day to sweet.

If only.
