I’m dieting once again… it’s a never ending yo yo around here. I gained the obligatory covid 15-pounds and am more than half-way through getting rid of it. So what’s that got to do with bananas?
I mentioned I had Katie here post-surgery for the past week. Well… I always eat a banana before bed because it’s a 0 point food on Weight Watchers and I don’t go to bed hungry. Not out of the kitchen an hour, I return and…
Katie: I ate the bananas.
Me: All of them?
Katie: There were only 4.
Me: 4???
Katie: And I ate the grapes.
Me: Katie… there were 3 pounds of grapes.
Katie: Yah. WERE 3 pounds but not anymore.
My 1st mistake was showing her how to use the Walkie-Talkie app on the Apple Watch (it’s like a bell to ring for a sick kid, y’all). My 2nd mistake was underestimating her ability to eat and talk at the same time.
So I make a grocery order of $35 bucks because I’VE GOT TO HAVE BANANAS and I add 7 of them at 8 cents each. I get to submit and Wal-mart tells me there are no bananas. I close out the order.
So yesterday morning, I go back to the order and lo and behold they now have bananas! But the price has doubled. I’m guessing they were fresh out of 8 cent ones but have plenty of the 16 cent ones. Bananas are a hot covid commodity.
But then… when Perry picked up my grocery order this morning…
…there was ONLY ONE BANANA!!
I know I don’t have as much to lose as my favorite brother so I can’t expect amazing transformation photos. But holy cow! Check out his hard work!
Daily new COVID-19 cases (7 day moving average):
Indiana-12.5 (up); Jackson Co – 7.1 (down); Florida 51.2 (down but still topping as the worst of the worst); Nevada – 34.1 (down — but is that because tests are taking weeks to get results?)
TIL (today I learned): The 2002 D.C. sniper shootings (17 by the time he was arrested) were part of a plan by John Allen Muhammad to kill his ex wife. Read about it here…
