 Sun. Apr. 26, 2020 Rachel Rhody's positive message: I was on my friend Heather's Facebook page and I found this.  I "liked" and "shared" this: 





I’ve been seeing so many friends seriously beating themselves up because they aren’t “maximizing” their time in quarantine by organizing their closets, repainting, developing a side hustle, becoming a piano virtuoso, exercising themselves into a lucrative career as a swimsuit model, etc.

Everybody! Seriously. Stop. And breathe. If you’re feeling adrift, there’s a reason. I’m about to drop some first semester nursing school on y’all. It’s Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Humans have basic requirements (the bottom of the pyramid) like food, water, air, shelter, sleep, etc. The biological basics. If those are met, then the next rung of the ladder is Safety and Security. If we feel safe and secure, then we can climb up and start on our Love and Belonging needs and on up the ladder we go until finally at the very tippy-top is SELF-ACTUALIZATION which would entail all of the cool aforementioned activities. The catch is, you cannot level up until the needs at the current level are fulfilled. If the needs remain unfulfilled, we remain stuck on our current level until the situation changes.

Friends, in the midst of a pandemic, we are dwelling in the basement of Maslow’s pyramid. How in the heck do you think you’re going to kick ass at the highest levels when we can’t even find toilet paper for Pete’s sake.

You physiologically and psychologically aren’t built to live your “best life” right now. Your only job is to live “a life” right now. A luxury that is being denied many which increases the pressure to really make every day count.

But listen.

Every day you are here counts.
Every breath you take counts.
Are you eating, drinking water, and sleeping at all these days? If so, that is a triumph right now.

Cut yourself ALL THE SLACK. Focus on the bottom level. Are you showering? Eating a vegetable once in a while? Getting some sunshine and fresh air? Keeping some semblance of a sleep schedule?

Start there. And be extra gentle and abundantly gracious with yourself. We’ll get through this. And right now, getting through is absolutely enough.

I love you all. Hang in there.

XXOO,
Rachel 
Mon. Apr. 27, 2020 Physical health: I have been listening and dancing to music for about 15 min. a day in the morning.   I have Telus on Demand and there is a "Healthy Living" section.  There is Zen TV and there are yoga and dance yoga videos I have done.  I tried some of their stretching videos.  There are Pilates videos I haven't tried yet.

Mental health: I always listen to some guided meditation videos on YouTube.



I am careful about reading the news.  If I see a headline and it's depressing, I skip that.



Watching TV: I only watch 2 hrs of TV a day and they are usually well-written dramas.  Or at least average dramas.

 Household chores: I have been washing the lunch and dinner dishes daily since the quarantine.  I usually wash only the dinner dishes at night, because I work at my 2nd restaurant job in the day.

 Today I raked some dead grass from the lawn because my mom told me to.  You have rake the dead grass, so the new green grass can grow.  P did this for an hr yesterday.


I raked for 30 min. in the morning.  I will be washing dishes and it will be 30 min.  So P and I did an equal amount of chores.

In the afternoon, my next door neighbor was raking the grass too.  I would do this in the morning when it's not too sunny and hot.  Or in the late evening like 4pm with the same conditions. 

Apr. 24, 2020 God Friended Me: I have been watching this show since it came out in fall 2018.  Here is an excerpt from an article: 



Though The Eye network did not reveal their reasons for axing the series, the show did see a noticeable dip in viewers in its second season. According to TVSeriesFinale, God Friended Me is currently the twelfth most-watched scripted series of NBC, with viewers down 26 percent in the key 18-49 demographic and down 20 percent in general viewing figures.

TVLine, however, noted another possible reason for the series' cancelation. Out of all CBS' scripted programs, God Friended Me has the smallest gain in viewers from DVR playback.


My opinion: I was surprised that this show got cancelled.  I watched both seasons, and they are consistently good in acting and writing.  This is a positive show where a group of friends help people and kind of solve mysteries.  I feel good after watching each episode.

Apr. 29, 2020 The season 2/ series finale: I watched it and it was very good.  There was a happy and tidy ending.  If the show somehow moved to another network or streaming platform, there is still a way for the show to go on.



Prodigal Son: I saw the season 1 finale.  The ending was surprising and gory.  This show was one of the best shows that came out in fall 2019 TV season.  I like crime procedurals.
https://ew.com/tv/prodigal-son-season-1-finale-preview/

 May 2, 2020 Deputy: This show came out in mid- season 2020.  I saw the pilot and thought it was average.  I decided to record the whole season and watched it all in a couple of weeks.  They aired the last episode, and a week later I found out the show got cancelled.

 I had low expectations because:

 1. It's a American mid-season show and most mid- season shows are not that good.

 2. If they are good, they end up getting cancelled because it's mid-season like Second Chance and The Family.

 3. There are some American shows that come out mid-season and then get in the fall like Lucifer and The Resident, but that is an exception, and not the rule.

 I saw the whole season and thought it was average.  There was a lot of good action like fights, car chases, and shootouts.

 Council of Dads: I finally saw the pilot yesterday.  I thought this was just average.  This is from NBC who has This is Us.  I will record the episodes and watch this all in a couple of weeks.

 Taco Bell fries commercial: I like this commercial because it's like a action movie trailer, and I like action movies.  I also know the actor Grant Harvey in it.  He played the soldier Roy on the TV show The Crossing.  I remember seeing him on Criminal Minds and The Rookie:
If major motion pictures were actually made about deep-fried potato sticks with Mexican spices and ooey-gooey cheese, well, you couldn't do much better than the "coming attractions" depicted in these spots.

Now, "Supply & Demand" doesn't disappoint, races into the mix with adrenaline to spare, a worthy addition to the stylishly silly series:

"With each Nacho Fry campaign, we want people to question if these could be real films through casting, production level and scale," Deutsch LA creative director Jeremiah Wassom tells Muse. "We've found the trailers that resonate best are ones that reference many different styles rather than anything too specific. This time around, the moment was right for a new genre: the buddy fry film, leaning into the desperate lengths people will go to get their hands on Nacho Fries."

As it turns out, the spot's lead actors—Jon Chaffin and Grant Harvey—went to intriguing lengths themselves in the name of realism.

"We actually dangled Grant off the roof of a 28-story building, and Jon skillfully handled a speedboat—and a supercar, as it hurtled toward a truck," Wassom recalls.

Dudes merit seconds for such bodacious brand boosting. How about a sequel?
