Wednesday

 Last night was a sit on the couch and watch tv, then go to bed early day.  Today, I got some energy back.

I've been watching YouTube while on the treadmill, but last night had the brilliant idea of catching up on all the shows in my Netflix list.  I meant to start with Call the Midwife, but first thing Netflix showed me was John Mulaney's special.  So, that.  I also managed to get a bunch of stuff done, but need to do a few more.  Posting is one.  

My current book, <i>The Hospital</i> by Brian Alexander, has me gripped.  It's about a small town hospital, but covers hospitals, health care, and a lot about the poor in Ohio (and issues poor people in general face).  I realized I've read several books relating to issues affecting poor people. 

Evicted - housing issues in Milwaukee

Heartland - growing up poor in rural Kansas

Nomadland - older homeless people living out of vehicles

Invisible Child - poverty in NYC

Mill Town - lower income to poor in Maine, also dealing with pollution from the main sources of employment

Janesville - effect on a town after a GM plant shut down. 

I need to run the dishwasher AND a small load of laundry.  Exercise means sweaty workout clothes.  If those sit for too long, it's harder to get rid of the odors. 

2 trips to Target and both times I forgot napkins and more OxyClean.  Need to write both in my phone. 

Week 1 (of 4) helping the new trainees.  I'm POOPED (hence last night doing nothing).  But in a good way.  Plus, they loved the cookies I made and ate them all.  

Ok, one more YouTube video and then finish a few more chores.
