Pandemic Diary #9, 17 May 2020

Too much watching of animal hoarder confessions

Stressed about many things… ICRA videos, homework, apartment, not enough done on covid front

Looking for new “learning chinese drama” to watch with parents

Uprooted some bamboo shoots today- – they’re fuzzy!!

AH finally found the drama about a crossdressing chinese general – it’s actually a web series not a drama, apparently, but one with 60 episodes!!

Pandemic Diary #8, 10 May 2020

Today 138.8 – 126.6 = 12.2 ?!?!
May 10, 12.2 lbs.
May 02, 13.5 lbs .
Apr 27, 13.7 lbs.
(same scale was, april 27, 133.4 – 120.2 ish — didn’t wait for scale to settle) = 13.2ish lbs, but that was probably inaccurate? went to vet on April 21st and it was 13.7 lbs.
I guess she is exercising a lot more!!  But 1.5 lbs in ~3 weeks is very bad. So I’ll have to feed her a bit more… maybe closer to 230 cals. Maybe from all the running!!
===
I see, my scale is wildly inaccurate, so I have to take my weight on the scale soon after
And it times out after 30 secs, and after that only jolting it wlil turn it on (not standing on it)
Okay, that’s more reasonable, 13.4 lbs.
May 10, 13.4 lbs. (13 days)
May 02, 13.5 lbs  (5 days)
Apr 27, 13.7 lbs.
So, actually losing too slowly (0.3 instead of 0.5 lbs).
So, I’ll wean down to (1/16) cup = 25 cals, on top of 150 cals from wet food, = 175 cals, + treats = ~190 cals total. (No more than 10 treats)
Have to watch — the new dry food is 180 cals/can instead of 150 cals.
With the error on my scale — may as well just be no weight change (but probably also no weight gain in that case).
So, drop!

141.8 – 128.2 = 13.6 lb = 0.1 lb in 4 days
13.7 * 0.01 = 0.137 lb / week, up to 0.274 lb/week
Right on target!

My own quarantine + Cat = better understanding why it’s so hard to keep zoo animals happy

Been watching Trevor Noah / John Oliver. News is upsetting. Past 70k cases and President declaring victory. Wants to disband coronavirus task force.

Did New Yorker crossword at after party with friend who defended yesterday!! We struggled, we are not crossword people XD looked up a few Proper Name answers. Turns out really only for 2 people at once, so I screenshared on zoom.

Found https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7013194/ on youtube, watched half with parents.

Watched 《自然的力量》第一集 纵横 over the weekend & finished it a few days ago – last episode was documenting how they filmed all the animals – pretty intense!!

Want to watch All Is Lost on bluewater per rec of friend – set for 3 weeks out when hopefully class work finished.

Set up weekly meeting with advisor — re-remembered need to do find thesis topic, doing background research on that now

Interesting meeting on transit – cool how much traction Cathy is getting; wrote mask op-ed, having trouble getting it out the door. Missed NECSI training on policy advocacy

Watched a few minutes of storm trysail – man overboard procedures.
