march to my own beat.

I can't remember the last time I did something just because it was a fad. I tend not to follow trends at all. if it ain't broken, don't try and fix it- or, if it works for you, why swap to something else just because others are.

did you ever like the tv series friends?

I found "Friends" amusing and diverting and fun but a little silly. I liked when Monica and Chandler got together. I liked the monkey too, "Marcel"? It was funny when Joey was "stunt-butt" for Marlon Brando too. I liked Phoebe a lot. Asked if she wanted to go to a movie, she replied, "No, i already saw one!" I liked her song about "Smelly Cat" too. I liked when she didn't have a gift for Joey's birthday so she just pressed her breasts against him and he was delighted!!!!!!

Have you ever thrown dishes away because you are too repelled to wash them?

Hugs,

Sweet Jane.

I think there was at least one or two I threw away, but only really decrepit ones that no one would miss. I have certainly thought about doing so many many times, when overwhelmed.

When you have little motivation to do anything, what do you still manage to get yourself to do?

Do you practice grounding exercises?

Countless, especially since we access TV in various ways. We have an antenna that can access hundreds of channels around the world, particularly German and Austrian, but many others, too. We also have Czech TV (with some Slovak channels, too). We also access Youtube TV which gives us access to countless American TV shows and movies, etc. Plus cable channels. We maintain the news programs from New York City, since for that we have to choose a city. Where I used to live was between NYC and Philadelphia. Despite all of this, I'm not a very heavy TV watcher.

What types of TV programs do you like most? Meaning drama series, comedies, reality TV, game shows, etc.

Mostly we watch PBS masterpiece and mysteries. Call the midwife is a favorite, so is Unforgotten, midsummers and all creatures great and small, and there’s a new one that’s great fun, The Indian Doctor. I love sci fi but there’s nothing on tv right now, it’s all streaming and I don’t have access to that.

Are you tech capable and able to watch things on the computer or phone?

I know nothing at all about accessing the internet on a phone, my phone not even having that function.

on computer I can figure out how to watch things on youtube, but no other services. if someone sent me a link to download something though I can usually figure that out as welll

at what supermarket do you tend to like shopping at?. does it matter to you which one you use

ANSWER:

Yes, i am very partial to the grocery store at the mall because it has excellent delivery service which i so appreciate as i don't have a car. The guy even carries all the stuff right into my kitchen and stacks my cases of pop against the wall just like i like it. We chat about our dogs. I tip him since it's only $10.

The grocery store itself is medium-sized and medium-priced. I've been shopping there for twenty-two years and it takes a lot of the stress out of the chore by sticking with a familiar place. It's not the most pleasant, with no natural light and the selection is limited but that's sort of a good thing because i tried a big box grocery store once and was overwhelmed and exhausted by the time i was done and they didn't have home delivery so the whole thing was a fiasco.

The last time i shopped i was in-and-out in 30 minutes flat. Nothing to carry, no fuss, no muss.

QUESTION:

Do you:

get active---> get disorganized--->rest--->get re-organized--->repeat

Or do you do enough each day to always stay organized?

That generally describes my kitchen, since I prepare/cook three meals per day for my husband and myself. Sometimes I also even bake something. I like my kitchen clean and tidy, so I do always clean it up, but it sometimes stays chaotic looking for a couple hours or overnight. Occasionally my husband helps with cleanup, but less and less. The rest of the downstairs and my bedroom are much easier and quicker to keep tidy, but when I'm "living in them", they aren't meticulous. As for upstairs and the garage, that's my husband's territory. I see the state of the garage more often than the upstairs, where I hardly go.

What habit(s) do you think you'll maintain even after the pandemic eventually ends?

Oh I think we’ll be doing more pick ups from restaurants rather than dining in. Mum likes the convenience of me going to pick it up and eating at home.

I’ve been using miracle grow food grains on our flowers. They are really responding well, do you have any secret tips for keeping your house plants going?

Hubby and I don't exactly have green thumbs, but we try hard and try to do research. We've had much more success with plants like African violets and cyclamens by putting them into certain types of pots that are bottom watering types. As for orchids, and certain other types, it's good to be precise with the amounts of sun, temps, and watering frequency. We know that orchids also have a special approach to watering, and one that isn't too frequent.

If you have a plant, what is the oldest one you have?

My depot injection and it was in my right arm. Next month it will be in my left. Before this it was covid jab number 2 in my right arm too.

Question: Has anyone ever been to a lodge on holiday/vacation. If so what was it like. If not would you like to?

I'm not quite sure what a lodge is. I rented a cabin in the woods once and it was very nice. There's a big lodge at the state park down the road that has a good restaurant, rooms to stay in and an indoor and outdoor pool. It seems ok; obviously i have never stayed there since it is 3 miles from home.

How many pillows do you sleep with (I suspect i'm a pillow-loving freak )?

For many weeks, just one. In the past, it was more often two. After we moved, I started having all kinds of discomforts (pain in various parts of my body - often shoulder/neck/back, tingling or numbness in my hands and feet) and was a bit desperate about my sleeping situation. Mostly I had slept with a square Euro pillow, but in recent weeks went back to more of a rectangular one, more popular in the US. When still in the US, before the sleep issues, I used one of each.

Are you generally a night owl or early bird? Or neither/both?

both here.

lack of sleep means I'm used to just being up at any time of the day or night, and feeling exactly the same about it

do you think you need more sleep?, or do you get enough in your opinion

I get plenty but I fight for it. I'd love to just lay down and go to sleep.

Do your pdoc or therapist ever hug you?
