| sunrise from our street, walking Big last week. |
Our Covid-19 Stay At Home day starts early. I find myself glancing at the clock between emails and reading on blogs. It's 8:43, I think, I thought it was 10 am and time for my snack. I look again and it is 9:15. I think, I can't eat until 10.... the time slows down. Finally 10 rolls around and I eat fresh pineapple and strawberries. now I have until NOON before I can eat lunch. I watch the clock. Time has come to a stand still. I find myself thinking of Food all the time... I thought I had conquered it 3 years ago. Here it is Back. I wanted to put my feelings into a poem, but I got stuck.
Can you add a couple of lines to my poem?
My days are longer,
yet I am not stronger,
I think of food,
wanting to elevate my mood.
Finally I have nature on nature Friday. YAY!

WOW!!! I cannot EVER remember you posting a sunrise or sky picture. And these are awesome. My very favorite is Bob and B.B. walking with the gorgeous sunrise behind them, #3, It is amazing!!! None of us can go anywhere or be with people, so all we have to think about is food. Because we are trapped inside with it. Oh yes, I can add lines to your poem alright:
The fridge is so near
And I am here
Trapped inside with so much food
Eating it all would help my mood!
I could go on and on and on, but you get the drift.
I don't get up nearly that early, and the days go zipping by. Andy and I both have lists of things we could (should?) be doing, but it's amazing how little gets done during the day. Much better than being bored, though. There is no rush, since we're not going anywhere. :D
we are with you, since we are grounded, we are out of time... and today is? friday? wednesday or any day?

That's interesting - yesterday, dad - who is living life no differently, having been confined pretty much for a year now anyway - commented that the day seemed to be dragging and was looking for munchies! I am always that busy with stuff to organise for him and manage my own stuff too that I have not felt any drag. Exhaustion, yes. Drag, no.
That said, I confess there has been some comfort eating going on... less to do with isolation and more to do with that exhaustion I suspect. YAM xx
On my days off all I want to do is eat. It's horrible. At least now I"ve got all the snacks out of the house and haven't bought any more.
My brain can't rhyme right now but I like what you have so far and Ginny added some good lines.
Oh wait how about:
I blog, I eat, I eat, I blog
My brain if living in a fog.
I like Ginny's and Ann's words. Can't top 'em and yours, but I'll try...
The cake looks sweet
Even my urge can't be beat.
The frosting I eat
As I watch the clocks & eat!
Wow, your sunset and sky photos are beautiful. A lovely start to your day. I find myself wanting to eat more during this stay at home time.
My hubby is worse, he will eat anything in sight. It is just comforting to eat! Take care, enjoy your day!
Beautiful sunrise photos, Sandra, and it is great ti get out early and walk, thanks for reminding me that I haven't done that in awhile. Yes, I understand the urge to eat because it’s comforting in these times of stress. We have Easter chocokates in the house and so far have been limiting our intake, but it is hard, so you are not alone in these urges.
To elevate my mood,
I waiting for the food,
I know I am not stronger,
And my days are very longer .... LOL
Your little poem is better than mine!
Take care, stay safe!
My days are longer,
yet I am not stronger,
I think of food,
wanting to elevate my mood.

It is too early for me to think of a poem..maybe later. Love your pics though.
These images lift my spirits! Have to admit, I sure miss Arizona's spectacular sunrises. I dunno, to me they define hope and second chances.
These gals' add-ons are so great. I'm all foggy-brain this morning -- but I can sure identify. Tom finally gloved/masked up yesterday morning and went grocery shopping -- came back with chips and another cheesecake. (Grrrr!) Ya, I catch myself eating more out of boredom than actual hunger. I'm even considering taking up smoking again......
I have another friend that gets up that early - I just couldn't do it - I stay up too late on the other end.
I sure do understand the eating tho -
And I love the sunrise and I did see the boys!
Waiting to elevate my mood.
But instead I'll focus on blogs and post,
distracting my mind from what I most.
I'll feast on others laughter and thoughts,
knowing when I'm done it will have hit the spot.
Good luck my friend and hand in there!!
My mood gets dour
As I wait for the meal-time hour...
What I eat doesn't seem to satisfy
Maybe I'll try a wee bit of pie...
Soon this too will pass
And I'll be back to the Weight Loss Class.
P.S.
gorgeous sunrise photos...
Very overcast today.

WOW!! What a gorgeous sunrise!!! I have been trying to stay busy with little daily projects in order to stay away from the frig. Some days it works...other days it doesn't.
Hang in there
HUGS!
--wanting to elevate my mood.
The fridge is empty,
('Though the motor is humming),
Six more days until
Peapod's coming.
It's a beautiful sunrise. Sorry about that clock not moving. Your snacks sound yummy.
When the lockdown is lifted
My mood will get shifted
That sky is so lovely. Sorry, I won’t try to add to your poem Writing poetry is not my strong point.
I get calls to me on celphone. I talk. I get off go to the frig oh that looks good. I get a pudding. Ten minutes later. I need a coffee. Hour later snack time. No I better make a salad for lunch. Oh better make a big one that looks too small.
Go eat it. I am still hungry. Make a banana milk shake. No ice-cream in it. Skim milk Yuks. Better add just a bit of ice-cream.
Night to go to bed. Get on scale. WHAT? I am still the same weigh after eating all that. My conclusion I am depressed over hubbys stroke. What else can it be or Maybe I have to pick up and move again. Yes I think that is it.
Years ago if I ate even a crumb. That crumb would be 10 pounds on me.
Yes the news said during this virus. Ninety percent people have gained ten to 20 pounds. Mostly men.
i'm a night owl. i wake up late because i sleep late. i stay up until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. if i eat dinner at 8pm, by midnight i'm pretty hungry. it's not unusual to whip up a full-on chicken sandwich and devour it. Lol
i need to train myself to get up early. i know, "if you win the morning you win the day."
the self-quarantine makes me hungry all the time.
i'm sorry, i am not good at poetry..
..."if you win the morning, you win the day".
