Excerpts:
...Silvia Manrique is up at all hours. The 43-year-old Chicagoan has always been a night owl, a tendency her marketing job used to keep in check before it went telework-only. Each night, she aims to go to bed before midnight. “The next thing I know, I watch five episodes of ‘Terrace House’ until three in the morning,” she said. Staying up so late might be connected to her anxiety. Or maybe it is related to her other recent indulgence: sugary cereal.
“On top of my refrigerator I have Lucky Charms, Strawberry Rice Krispies and Fruity Pebbles,” she said. Every night, she promises herself that the next morning she will eat the kind of grown-up breakfast she would have made in the long-ago days of February, like an egg sandwich. Every morning, she breaks that promise. It is not so much days that have been shuffled by the pandemic; it is decades. “It’s wild,” Manrique says. “I’m a child again.”...
...“My routines around eating have fallen apart completely,” said Carl-Magnus Kjellman, 32, of Washington, D.C. He used to eat breakfast at 7 a.m., lunch at 12:30 p.m. and dinner at 7:30 p.m. “Now it’s like, yeah, sure, breakfast at 10, why not? I’ll eat lunch at 3:30.”
But reader, what difference does a few hours make, anyway? As long as we are all exercising some discipline and maintaining a balanced —
“I ate an entire bag of Ruffles today.”
Oh.
Look, we are trying. “I think a lot of us are mentally exhausted, because the energy it takes to mentally manage everything that’s happening is very draining,” says Vaile Wright, director of clinical research and quality for the American Psychological Association.“The habits that we’ve worked to develop over time to keep us healthy and productive can fall by the wayside.”...

Simple things like a trip to the store are more focused, in and out, not
so much the browsing looking for what to have for dinner that looks good
at the moment.
Long distance trips I had planned are on hold for now. Would be better
to travel now with lighter traffic and cheap gas but when I get to the
destination we could not even go out to dinner.

I do like Lay's Kettle Cooked potato chips with a nice 1/3 lb.

more of them.
Why should working from home suddenly make people eat at weird hours of
the day? 12PM is still 12PM. The Earth didn't spin off its' axis. Eat
when you normally do. Go to sleep when you normally do. If you
normally stay up until 1AM, okay. You can't blame a virus if you decide
to stay up all night watching TV or doing whatever.
I've never much cared to eat breakfast first thing in the morning. I
wait until around 20:30 before I eat. The Covid-19 outbreak has nothing
to do with it.
What to eat? I make breakfast for dinner a few times a year, not because
I'm confused. Because I like it.
Tonight I'm pan searing a beef petite filet (filet minon). I'll have
boiled buttered new potatoes and green beans to go along with it. Usual
dinner time: between 6-7 PM. The pandemic hasn't changed my perception
of when it's time to cook and eat dinner.

You're a stay at home biddy who's set in her ways. You just continue
as you always have. Other people are more outgoing and actually do
things during the day. They can't right now.

My alarm still goes off at 4 am every morning. I work from home in the
mornings (there isn't enough to keep me busy all day with the other
developers hunkered down) and take a half-day of vacation in the afternoon.
Mealtimes are still the same, and meals are still the same sorts of things
I cook when I'm working. Although I did make sloppy joes for lunch last
Friday, which is more time-consuming than a normal weekday lunch.

for a walk while it brews . The only real change is that we can't go to
our favorite restaurant for lunch right now and we've minimized our
trips to town to essential needs . I consider a nice long motorcycle
ride "essential" to my mental health ... and how much more "socially
distanced" can ya get ? In a few minutes I'll be putting on my "woods
clothes" (treated to keep ticks away) and Max and I will be socially
distancing out in the woods . We'll be looking for and marking trees to

Bonkers if you ask me but the rules are becoming ridiculous:( Some
damned senior copper was saying that his cops could search your chopping
trolley and if there were non essential stuff they would take them off you.
Another sent up an drone to keep an eye on anyone who is walking in the

more power than they are allowed.
Fortunately a minister has put a stop to that but lots of nonsenses are

Strange coffee that takes so long to brew. Unless your walks last 5
minutes.

If they're taking some things too far, I wouldn't worry about it. It's
very temporary. I'm sure they'll relax the strictest bans and orders
once "the curve flattens". I'm guessing a month max. No government
wants a population that's going stir crazy :)

coffeemaker 10 minutes. It's probably done in less time, but it stays warm
as it waits for me.

The early morning dog walk is just to let him out to poop/pee.

HAVE YOU NOW STARTED TO SNIFF DOG'S ASSES ??????
Order some knee pads for the smaller breeds Gruce.
I can offer you to come and sniff a mare's ass. She's a pretty
gentle animal, but don't try to grab her tits. She don't like that.

way, just like humans. Everyone wants to pee when they first wake
up. Dogs need to go outside, others can go
inside.
Also, I get out very early each day. So many neighbors taking
their
dogs out early. The longer exercise walks come later.

marking the roadside grasses and bushes every few feet . Take a dump
(Max, not me . I take a dump before we go.) and head home marking the
stuff on the other side . I love coming in to the aroma of fresh-brewed
coffee !
