jengetfit123's Journal, 24 Mar 20

Trying again with a longer fast. I am almost 26 hours in and trying to settle down for bed, so it should be a go. I have been eating emotionally, but trying to treat myself with loving kindness. It is a scary time. But i am not hungry right now.

My roommate has been wanting sloppy joes. He is a picky eater and it has to be manwich. insert long boring story about why we cannot get manwich here. He was pretty upset, and at first i thought it was silly, but then i realized his mom makes it for him, and he can't go see his folks right now and he wants his comfort foods and normalcy just like everyone else.

I am sure you know where this is going, but i made copycat manwich sauce, and he tasted it and helped me adjust it some. I did not taste it bc i am fasting, but i will say he has a very attuned palate, especially for junk food. He said it was perfect! This is high praise and he is totally honest, because he is picky. I am pleased bc i did not have a few key ingredients, but i was creative and resourceful!

Will post a pic when we make them tomorrow.

I am glad you have each other during these times.

Awwww, ty you guys! I cook to show love. @tomlong, i am glad we have each other too. We have to navigate some tension bc we are opposite politically (and believe me, that is not easy) but i am so glad and grateful he is here bc i think i would be losing it otherwise. Also i am grateful to have the house be in such great order. It just helps. Hope you and your wife and daughter are doing ok.

Haha, gz, i am guessing he will go back to "the real thing" as soon as he can. Omg hcb, i am surprised about your dh's employer. Are you watching walz's daily briefings? (While i am crushing HARD on cuomo, walz is doing a good job too, imo.) They said ppl not comfortable going in to work don't have to. Yeas, we are out with the dog a lot too. The ice is gone and she is a butterball!!
