It's my birthday in a half hour! Hell yeah!

I'm relatively happy today. We're keeping misery exposure to a minimum and just enjoying each others' company.

A motorcycle place about an hour away has a BMW G 310 R. May go check it out.

Happy birthday! :toot:

yeah, it was bad at 10 in the morning and it's way worse now. somehow the local coffee shop had their doors open (so that people wouldn't have to touch the handles) but uhhh they have a hand sanitizer right there, would rather deal with a tiny inconvenience than loving with everyone's lungs and eyes, especially the employees that are in that poo poo for hours.

I saw a couple of places that kept their doors open to vent air. Why invest in a box fan when you can just torture your min wage employees I suppose.

There was also a huge line at Ikea. Out of all days I have 0 idea why people would stand in line outside for hours Today to purchase some lovely Swedish designed furniture.

I really wish I bought some weights before the lockdown. Everything is so overpriced on facebook market/craigslist.

I've been doing body weight stuff and cycling to make up for the loss of the gym although with the fires cycling is kind of out of the equation.

oh I know how to do it, that's not a problem. the only problem is what I said: eating food where I have no idea what the caloric content is. it's not a problem when I'm working from home and cooking all my meals.

I just google "calories in X" and then guess based on that erring on the high side.

calorie counting is also supposed to kinda be a pain in the rear end, in addition to the mindfulness and tracking what you put into your body it's also supposed to act as sort of a soft barrier to snacking

It's a nice barrier to eating out all the time too because any fast food meal is like 10,000 calories at a minimum.

I'm glad my parents are the hindu equivalent of whatever a twice a year catholic is with the addition to going to temple whenever a big life event happens. There are some pretty cute photos of my dog going through a puja.

They tried to make us go to temple every Tuesday but I think even they got tired of it.
