The American Healthcare Association and the National Center for Assisted Living are reporting that cases dropped to their lowest level since the government began tracking weekly cases in nursing homes in May 2020.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Is that true? Do you eat your fair share of fruits and vegetables? You may be that mom that needs to sneak in healthy veggies into your kids diet.

There are a lot of times that I forget to eat. Are you the same way? Especially if you are working from home. Heck, sometimes when I am in the office too. I just get so busy. It seems crazy I know.

I get to thinking about all those germs that are on your toothbrush. I mean it freaks me out a bit because we do put that in our mouth a couple times of day. So I want to make sure mine is clean.

What a difference a year makes. Remember back in the day when really it was only Michael Jackson and his family wearing a mask? We never really thought that was going to be our future. Oh and then the year 2020 came to be.

When was it that cheese got such a bad reputation? We are asked if we want to add cheese to our burger and we feel guilty if we really want to say yes. Why is it we feel cheese shamed?

It's been a long time since we have been able to innocently run up to our best friends and give them a big hug. I know it is one of those things since the pandemic that we are not supposed to do. A lot of us love our hugs and we are not OK.

Let's give ourselves kudos for making it through last week. We had some crazy weather throughout the state of Texas. Once we made it through the beginning of the week we thought things were going to get better. Oh then we just got more snow here in Amarillo.

Sleep can be a glorious thing. If you're someone who can get the recommended amount of sleep, anyway. I, for one, am not one who can sleep well. I try a little bit of everything. I have tried taking melatonin. Sometimes it works, sometimes it actually keeps me up at night.

With the week we have had we need to at least wake up on the right side of the bed. Hopefully that one is warmer anyway. The brutal temperature that the Panhandle has seen sometimes makes it tough to be cheery.

You make it to the middle of the afternoon and you're just dragging. You usually reach for a candy bar to get you over that mid-afternoon drain. Is that a good idea? I mean we know you are not you when you are hungry or at this point hangry. Will that candy bar help or hurt you in the long run?

Do you miss those days of being a child and having a stress free life? I mean the biggest concerns we had was getting our homework done or trying to avoid a nap!
