Morning routines. Thoughts about eating habits.

Good morning, friends. I woke up this morning and discovered another roach inside the house. I soaked it in Raid even though I did not know if it was alive. This is the first time in many years that this happens and I´m wondering if the lots of raid we had in winter has to do with it. But something must be done so I will buy an extra amount of Raid and ask Mario to surround the house with it except for the part where Luna lives. In that part, we´ll do it from the inside. Then I came to fill my pill box, take my pills and go and get a piece of cake. Cake is becoming and adiction for me. Fortunatly, cake is not making me put on weight. I did put on some weight the days I was at Leticia´s though. She has another way of cooking and uses a lot more carbs in the very delicious food than I do. All the members of her family except her are overweighed. Being overweighed has a lot to do with the way that people are now eating as compared to how people of my generation used to eat. That, plus a sedentary life that has to do with the new jobs that people have makes people have a sort of "soft" body. My own grandson Vicente changed from having a slim beautiful body the a big and overweighted one after the pandemia. His father, who is proud of his slim body is now taking him jogging every Sunday. But the harm is done. And Claudia works too much and the kids eat too much rice and potatoes now. The cake is in my tummy now and I will start my morning masochistic routine. I´ll turn on the news. See you later.

Sprinkle baking soda in the area where you have seen the roach. You probably already have this ingredient in your pantry. Our lifestyle has changed, once we gain weight is hard to get rid of it. Too much rice and potatoes is not good.

@marguicha - I had a roach problem in Monte Carlo, they came from the baking store that was one floor under our apartment.

I dont think anyone can kill roaches. They are notorious! Eating cake is good for our mental health and the same goes for other sweet treats. I indulge in it sometimes. It makes me happy and that's a good sign.

I think that I´ll go on eating cake. And right now, I have some ice cream to eat when the cake is finished.

@marguicha That's a good treat! You can have them whenever you feel like it. Well, at least that's my law to myself. I usually just eat more fruits and vegetables afterward.

Roaches don't like boric acid. You can sprinkle some of that around in the area you found them.It isn't hard to find.

@snowy22315 Yes. Although they say that they are harmless, they are gross.

Sorry about the roach. I hope you can control them. Unfortunately some of us lead a sedentary lifestyle due to a disability. That makes it hard to lose weight. Hope you have a good day.

Thank you. My legs are a complete mess now. The doctor laughed at me when I asked him if I would ever be able to kneel down.

@marguicha You're welcome. Why would the doctor laugh at you. How rude. I can't kneel because one knee is a new knee and one needs to be replaced.

A sedentary lifestyle is not good for us. Life expectancy is falling again in developed countries. Maybe our lifestyle choices will solve the world overpopulation problem in due course.

I was shocked when I saw my grandson Vicente again after the quarantine. He had put on many kilos and it was not muscle.
