Monkey Secrets and Dessert for Breakfast
What I Learned Today – Wednesday, September 9
I don’t eat breakfast anymore. I coincidentally started doing intermittent fasting around the beginning of the pandemic right before I started working from home. Prior to [gestures around at everything], I would usually make oatmeal at night and heat it up the next day when I got to the office and add a little dried fruit. Or if I needed a little extra oomph, I would visit the deli downstairs for an egg and english muffin sandwich.

I start my days now between 7-8am, put on a pot of coffee, go to my desk and start looking at the news for the blog. I have to pull up a chair for Lola who likes to be by my side in the morning (I give her a few treats now and then. She is a fairly affectionate cat but bribery doesn’t hurt.) I do add a little cream to my coffee but no sugar (the addition of cream is controversial in IF circles. I really don’t care.) And that’s all I have until noon when I either make oatmeal with fruit or a soft boiled egg with an english muffin. So I guess I still have breakfast food, just at a time which most people would call lunch.

Researchers find that people who wear face masks become less sick if they do contract coronavirus. So just wear the damn mask.
A lot of people have been saying that Bill Barr is using the Justice Dept as Trump’s personal legal staff. Not sure why anybody would actually think something so cra…
