My insomnia is extended by 2 hours, too. Going to bed about 4:30am, get up at 9 or 9:30am, grab a two hour nap during the day. I tried cutting out naps thinking it would help me get tired sooner, but nope. I’d probably be more productive if I just went nocturnal.

Half of them are data miners and the other half are buzz agents. It’s like trying to maneuver a gauntlet. Think I might just tune out with my Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Canceling Ear Buds, available on Amazon.

That kind of posting gets me worked up, GreenWay. The best way for me to relax is listen to my favorite songs on my Spotify premium account. Did you know Spotify premium is only $9.99 a month and right now you get two months free AND can cancel anytime?

Do you get hammered and then go ride an escalator?

And of course working from home full time. When I probably did about once a week previously. However, when things get back to normal, I forsee twice a week from home being typical.

He would have to take the Wyoming high speed rail to Natrona County.

"I'm getting quite old, so my parents arranged more than 10 blind dates for me," she said in this post. She wrote that her fifth date had said "he was good at cooking, and invited me to his house so he could cook a meal".

However, during the meal, she discovered that her date's community had gone into swift lockdown due to cases of Covid-19, and ended up being unable to leave his house for several days.

Ms Wang told media on Sunday that she had been stuck for four days at her date's house, and that the situation was "not ideal".

However, she said that her date had cooked every day for her while they were stranded together.

She added though that "he doesn't speak much".

It is unclear whether she still remains stuck at her date's house. However, cases of Covid-19 have persisted in Zhengzhou in recent days.

That’s awesome. Was it primarily the walking or did you change up your diet/eating habits?

It was both. I started counting calories. I eat what I want, but I try to eat less. If it taste good, I eat slower and less. Or I try to. I've cut way back on beer. It's simple, but complicated at the same time. I just try to have negative caloric intake. Plus side is cholesterol is back within normal and I was pre-diabetic, but the sugar level is back to normal. I'm also back to the same waist size I was in college.
