You need to fetch your kids at school and by the time you get back  it's past six. You are in a flat spin about what to make for dinner...and yes the children is not going to eat the leftovers from Sunday's lunch, for the third time. So we do our magic and make a quick and easy chicken pot. I mean what can go wrong with a chicken pot hmm let me take that back. The electricity can trip, the chicken can be bad or the possibility of over cooking a chicken is always there, but let's not get all emotional about a piece of chicken. We need to get it together dammit we got a dinner to make in 30 min.

Did we forget the fitness people who could not handle the no jogging period in quarantine, so instead they took the option B, they ran a marathon on a 7meter balcony, and then there are some of us that can't even look at our gym clothes without crying. Yes, I understand not all of us can be crazy about fitn...
