WAY TO GO! Subclinical 😀
Yea! for filling up your class.

True words. This is why we can't have nice things. 🙁

I thought it was a given that you already had the fabric and thread to make Baby wipes.
So yeah, you are using materials you already have on hand. 😉

Small squares of flannel and terrycloth and thread.
Happy your Dh noticed and is happy.
Sometimes having things stowed away comes in handy.
Like arts & crafting things. Especially now with not being able to just go shopping.

Wishing you and the egglets all the best. (((hug)))

This is why we san't have nice things....

I took the eggs out of the egg turner and set them on the floor if the incubator. They should hatch Sunday, but I have to start checking tomorrow.

Dh is happy that I am using up part of my stash making baby wipes.

And I forgot to tell you my class is full.

Welcome Charlie!!! ;D
Now just get into the cat trap please.

Hi Subclinical
Thanks, yes I had some good things this week. 🙂

Should be safe going into the studio just to pick up your finished work.
Best wishes for the outcomes.

That is something I found so interesting about ceramics. Until it came out of the kiln, you never know how it will look.

We knew things would escalate with people not following all the advice.
We could have had it contained and been able to work and have Summertime events.
My county fair could have happened in Autumn because it's outside in a large spacious area.
But not now because people won't mind.
It is like being a kid back in school and just because "that one kid" in class is acting up the whole class is punished.

Steven is still leaving home but not as often now that his friend is dead.
But he still goes somewhere too many times a week.
I stay at home for week after week and only go when I need food and/or water.

I will not be surprised when the positive count here starts rising drastically.

Hello, welcome Lori!

5 bags is good!

Tillie, how lovely that you got a rainbow! And such a nice phone visit with Nate!

CM,
Yay for your new computer!

Hi Tatoulia! I hope you had a good, safe trip.

I finished glazing my big bowl and will go in just to pick up my last four pieces some time between next week and the second week of August.

Cases are still rising here and I do not need to use the slab roller. Our libraries just closed again. All the closings and missed events and lost jobs are wasted because people wouldn't stay home and wear masks. We are right back at our peak, with more active cases than ever.

My next trip away from home will be either for feed or to get DD's dog, depending on how long it takes the baby to come. Or to take the Tom cat to the vet if I catch him. I named him Charlie.

Good Afternoon

Got up & out first thing this morning.
Did stuff in the yard.
Came inside and stuff in here too.

Taking a break and eating something too.

Good Evening

Was out watering the grass this evening when the wind started raging from the South.
I could hear distant thunder and the sky was filling up with thick dark clouds.
Then it rained a little but not enough to get things wet.
Lots of space between the rain drops.
But I kept watering the grass and enjoying the drops that fell on me.

Then I looked up and right over head was a MASSIVE double rainbow!!!
The colors on the inner rainbow were so sharp and vivid.
It was beautiful.

Welcome Lori 🙂

WAY TO GO!
You have really been doing a FANTASTIC job!

Happy you found some motivation to help you make all those keep/toss/donate decisions.

Enjoy all that newly emptied space you've made. 😀

I'm so excited with what I got done this week! FIVE bags of stuff to Goodwill yesterday and five last week.
Today I cleared out a couple of shelves. I'm stopping by my daughters' houses to let them go through them... books are about culture and politics of their late dad's side. Tomorrow what's left will go to our local Peace and Justice center!
I've been binge watching Hoarders and it has motivated me!

Good Morning

Going to get into the upper 80s today.
Planning to water trees today.
After today temps will be upper 90s.

A man in his 20s has tested positive
bringing our county's total up to 12 cases found so far.

I wonder how many people without symptoms would test positive if they were tested?
Most people without symptoms don't care to get tested, like me. 😉

Since I am never in contact with a compromised person I don't see the need to sit in my car waiting in line out in the hot sun.

Anyways, just another day puttering around at home.

Good Afternoon Everybody

Hi CriticalMass
Great that Roommate had an older computer you can have!
Hope that helps some.

Kitty Cat sounds stressed and worried to me.
Sometimes when cats have issues like old age or an illness or some other mental type of worry
they will vocalize in the night because the quiet and darkness set them off.
Sort of akin to cat insomnia. Sometimes it's just missing someone not there like they always used to be there.
My cats have done this after one of them has passed.
Best way to handle it is with gentle talking, answering their cries, letting them know that even in the darkness you are still there.
And my cats absolutely needed their night light in the bathroom turned on.
If the bulb burned out during the night they would anxiously wake me up to tell me to fix it please.

Some kitties feel insecure when things change.
I am glad the Dog is back where he belongs, that will help in time (((HUG)))

Nathan called me today and we spoke for hours!!!
We talked about everything and nothing.
His veggie gardens are producing well, the fruit trees are looking good.
The ducks and chickens are thriving and there are too many hens so he has a lot more eggs than he needs.
His business is doing well and Mrs. Nate is doing fine too.
I am so proud of him and happy for them. 😀

Hi, checking in -

Yesterday was over 100 here. Monday was in the 90s but felt awful. I hadn't planned to go anywhere yesterday, but then in the afternoon the laptop started giving me FITS and I had had it! I really was about ready to take it and throw it in the Arkansas River.

I called the computer store, and ended up taking it in. They installed 4 more GB of RAM for a total of 8. That was $37 + change, not bad. They can also if I want reinstall Windows 7, and put the Linux on a USB stick. Then I could use Win 7 again and learn Linux at my own pace. Of course I would need to take security precautions re Win 7 and not be online with it.

Not only that, but my roommate had her old laptop she hasn't been using. It only has Windows Vista, but she said I could have it. I can fiddle with it and be able to do some of the things that I need to do, then just transfer finished files to my newer laptop.

Kind of crazy workarounds, I know, but temporary, and hopefully will save frustrations for awhile. I haven't had time to see how the extra RAM does with the Linux system; that might make a huge difference right there. Typing this on roommate's old laptop. I think overall getting these computers sorted will reduce my stress level and allow me to be more productive on things like my writing and paper decluttering (due to transferring scribbled notes to electronic form).

The dog is home from the kennel - sleeping a lot. Today is hot, tomorrow will be hot, ad nauseum. Dog will need to sleep out in the living room a couple more days or so; there is a mat for him so I hope he will do okay. Maybe kitty will calm down with him here. Kitty was vocalizing in the wee hours again - a weird, sharp little meow I've never heard the likes of before. I worried he might be sick or having a heart attack, but after awhile he stopped - meowed or yowled some still but it was more "normal."

Getting excited to hear about SubC's grandson soon.

More as time permits.

Happy July!
Planning to make this a month of daily puttering around.

Hi Subclinical
So far it sounds like the studio is still a safe place to work! 😀
WTG! for glazing and hope the pieces turn out gorgeous.

Your Summer class is a big success!
Fantastic job you have done (((hug)))

Yes, you must keep the gas tank full and the phones charged.
Plus you must keep keys and shoes handy.
I'm so anxious and know you must be too. ;D

So Mr. Kitty and Boy Kitty have come to an agreement.
That's good to know.

Hi Tatoulia
YEA!!! For Boston!!! 😀

So true.
Masks are annoying but having worked in medicine/surgery the one thing I always HATED to watch was when someone was intubated.
Such a horrible thing to do to a person even though they were unconscious.

Your Friday plan sounds like fun.
When I have to drive into Reno I don't drink anything for hours before leaving home.
Then I don't drink anything while I'm there.
On the drive home I will have some water.
So far this has kept me from having to use public restrooms.
Unfortunately it's no good being that dehydrated but it's the only thing I can think to do.
Guess I could get therapy to try to overcome my aversion to to public toilets. ;p

Take a package of sanitizing wet wipes in the car and wipe down the place?

Have a great day today at work work. 🙂

Nothing much needing to be done here today.
Dishes, laundry, watering all caught up.
No crafting projects to do.
Steven is extra mean and nasty. Doesn't acknowledge my existence but has been having violent outbursts in his bedroom and in the garage.
Yelling curses and slamming/throwing things around.
Makes me nervous.
Have a deck of "Lord Of The Rings" playing cards and I will start playing solitaire to keep my hands busy.

Hello! July 1!

I read all of the posts and the take-away for me was, two kitties on the porch!

I simply cannot understand people not wearing masks. It makes no sense to me. Masks may be hot and uncomfortable but I'm sure a respirator is way worse.

Okay I have to work on my work now. Trying to close out the quarter.

We have Friday off. I'm going to drive out to our friends' house to drop off a 4th of July package for the kids. T-shirts, flags, "patriotic" Mike & Ikes, a beach ball, etc. she had suggested maybe an ice pop in the backyard. My sole concern is needing a restroom. It is a long drive to her house

Okay we had no COVID19 deaths in Boston yesterday. We are staying strong.

I did your sitting for you Tillie.

I went to the studio and did all my glazing but the last big piece.

I got two things back - one came out great and the other was a disaster. I need to send a photo to the firing staff and see if I can get sone feedback. Only the apprentice was in yesterday and that is what she told me to do.

They have reopened the children's program, which made me nervous when I saw all the cars as I arrived at drop off time, but it has a separate entrance and only one shared room I don't use. I do travel through a shared hallway, but I can wait for the kids to be gone should we arrive there simultaneously.

There were a few more people present than before, but I was still alone in the glaze area.

I'm thinking about trying to do the big piece on Friday and be done. After Friday the baby could be born.

Then I filled my gas tank, came home and mostly sat. This is the second time I have bought gas since mid- March. The tank was only 3/4 down, but I want it full when the baby comes.

I ran the dishwasher and watched videos and read. I didn't need to make a list though. I could tell that it was recovery time.

The boy cat came to the front door and meowed loudly this morning. Mr. kitty insisted on going out and chased him about 20 feet, but then after I closed the door and went away he crept back and they are both lying on the front porch, not quite socially distant.

My summer class has one spot left.

Well today I did stuff.
Didn't spend too much time just sitting.
The kitchen is clean again and the garden and grass are watered.
Jack and Cowgirl had my attention and pettins.
Scooter and Twinkles too.

Scooter was laying down beside the water bowl with his head hanging over.
He was just relaxing and watching mousie drown at the bottom of the bowl.
Spent a long time like that.
It was cute 😀

Ate a peach. It was perfect!

All ready for bed and I am tired, in a good way.

Good Morning Everyone
June 30th already!
The days seem endless but the month just sped by.

Hi Subclinical
I am so angry with those people at your Mom's doctor's office building.
So rude and inconsiderate and ignorant.

Keep drowning out the negative voices in your head with all the things you DID do.
Best way to quiet down those nitpicking noises. (((HUG)))

From what you described of the studio setup you should be fine going there.
Lots of fresh flowing air and more than enough social distancing.

Good idea to not take recycling/etc. since you have to hike up the road.

Yes, I remember having a little boy that I would have to be extremely specific about explaining every tiny detail to.
What he could do, what he couldn't do, what he should do...
Then there were always the thousands of " WHY" questions he'd ask about everything.

How wonderful to hear your Dh taking the Baby quarantining seriously!!!
😀

I believe locations are allowing businesses to open up and events to be held are because the people just won't behave.
Even shops/restaurants that are open but with mask restrictions are having a LOT of people loudly protesting the mask rule.
So many have had to reclose to protect their employees from violent outbursts and physical harm.
So the authorities have given up with mandatory quarantine until the hospitals are overloaded again.
But they want masks and social distancing and the people just won't comply.
So selfish and inconsiderate of others who are trying to stay uninfected but yet need to work, get groceries or hardware, etc.

We all need to keep doing everything we can to help ourselves.

Yard sales are now being allowed. OK, they are outside...
But I don't think they are necessary and are possibly not socially distancing enough plus you have the hand to face contamination so many people do.

Your quarantine plan would really work to help slow/stop the spread.
I would make it four weeks though, just to be sure.
But the people are revolting, in every sense of the word.

Every man for himself, disgusting.

Anyways...
Lovely cool morning and I am going out to water.
Garden plants and grass.
Yesterday I did nothing but cat tasks.
Just sat lost deep in thought.
Need to get out of my head today and shake off this depression. 🙂

Tillie,

I'm sorry your county has a new case, but 11 is not bad. Hopefully that woman has not exposed people. Your county's total count is in line with my county's daily count.

I am a little nervous about going to the studio today because cases have bern climbing all around here, but then I remember what it is like in the studio. It will be ok.

Dh has to go to his office today to label boxes. They are moving everything out of his building to a new building before he goes back to work. Currently his back to work date is July 13. But last night I heard him talking to his guitar instructor. The instructor is going back to the music studio in July. Dh told him that he will be quarantining for two weeks after his grandson is born so that he can see the baby, so he won't be able to come in. He doesn't know I heard him, but that makes me really happy.

I don't understand this continuing to open things up when cases keep increasing.

What if we set a three week window where everybody would stay home except for emergencies? It could be in August so people could plan and prepare. Maybe start the second week so people could buy the things they needed or get important routine care the first week. Of course, Americans would never do it.

Also, it would probably be like my son when he was little - we had a shower with a glass door, and he would come open the door and talk to me. I told him not to do that unless it was an emergency, but then I had to define emergency. Something is on fire. A lot of water is running onto the floor and you can't make it stop. Someone is bleeding or unresponsive. Then I had to further clarify bleeding and unresponsive after he fetched me for a paper cut.

I am going to break my rule about not leaving home unless something leaves with me today because I have to walk a tenth of a mile to my car and I already have the one dish and my purse to carry. But I can walk on the bridge now, even though I can't drive on it yet.

Good evening,

Tatoulia, I hope you and kitty get a thunderstorm free night.

I am excited about your shower curtain!

CM, focusing on the books sounds like a good idea. It is important, especially right now, to focus on positive things.

My dil says her dog "sings the song if her people" early in the morning. Is that from somewhere? Or is it regional? You are the only two people I have heard use it.

Sounds like your roomate's treatment is going to be fairly quick. I'm glad.

We had a lot of cloud cover here from the edge of the Sahara dust, but that is all.

My mother went to the doctor today. They had signs up telling people they had to wear masks, but my mom was the only patient wearing a mask, and the nurse who did her blood pressure etc. and the administrative people were not wearing masks. She said she channeled me and complained to her np - who was wearing a mask. Her np said that she was frustrated but did not have the power to enforce anything. But, she took my mother's complaint to the administrator and my mom heard the staff being told they were Absolutely not to interact with patients Without masks going forward and she saw them putting them on, but she said they did not look happy.

I don't care if they are happy. They are supposed to be caring for my mom's health! How is not wearing masks doing that?! If she had really been channeling me, she'd have pitched a fit in the waiting room when she saw all the maskless people. If I had been with her I would have pitched one!

She said they tested her for COVID because she has had a sore throat and sinus congestion for weeks. (That makes no sense to me)

Today was ok. I got my glaze work done. I am going to the studio tomorrow and I might finish everything.

I have been noticing that the voices in my head keep pointing out my failings, but they like to focus on the things I don't do.

So, today I made two columns. I left out routine stuff like chores, but on one side I listed all the things I did that help further my goals, and on the other side I listed all the things I did that were counter- or non-productive. And the good side is very long. It has 21 things.

The bad side just says:

Too much time reading the paper

Ate sugared cereal for breakfast

Put off chores until after breakfast

Let the chickens spill $10 worth of wormer even though I thought about the fact that I shouldn't leave the bottle open on the hay rack between doses, because the chickens might knock it over.

Watched two videos.

Take that voices!

County website posted there is one new positive case of Covid19 here now.
A woman in her 40s.
This brings our total of cases up to eleven now.
The nine others have gotten better and that man, the first case here died.
But he was in the local killer hospital here that needlessly kills way too many people.

So happy you are continuing with the décor update to your home. 😀

Very good that you are not buying right away.
You are taking your time, doing product research and taking the budget into consideration.
Responsible consumerism at it's best.

You need the chandelier for baths.
Sounds like such a fun thing to have. 😀

There are Robins and Orioles all over my yard today.
Something about the Mulberry trees having half ripe fruit I think.

The song of his people! Got a chuckle out of that!

More thunderstorms today. So humid.

My fabric for my shower curtain arrived on Saturday. The cleaners just stopped by to get it. They aren't working today-the baby was in the car. They told me they are doing it for me and I said, no, I am paying you. I put a check in the Bag and the mom tried to give it back. The fabric cane on a roll and I just peeked into a corner of the plastic to make sure it's the right stuff.

So I'm pretty excited about this. I do have one yard of the fabric here. I do hope I bought enough fabric for the curtain. I don't know how to measure and there is a pattern repeat, etc. now I need to choose bathroom color and have it painted. I also need to get the chandelier reworked and hung. I need a few little pieces first. So the bathroom is coming together.

If there's leftovers, I may ask her to make me a pillow or two.

I didn't ask about the quilt. It was pouring rain.

I'm going to hold off on the iPad for another paycheck or two. I don't want to be in the habit of just buying stuff.

Hi CriticalMass

LOLing about the boy Kitty serenading you in the wee hours. 😀

FANTASTIC! plan to just focus on the books in storage!
Putting on blinders is the best way to tackle a project with so many other distractions.
Yes, the closer storage is a lot better than the farther away one was.
You just need to make the time to start chipping away at getting it organized.
Good Luck and Best Wishes! 😉

With so many people not following recommended precautions all we can do is the best we can to keep our own selves safe.
The more they flaunt the regulations the more we have to stay quarantined away from everyone and everywhere.
I really don't understand why so many people are against preventing illness and death if not for themselves but for others. 🙁

I think some of that Sahara dust has reached your area since it has gotten thick in Houston.
Hope you only get a thin layer (((hug)))

Keep getting out for walks whenever the weather allows.

Good Morning 🙂
Got down into the high 40s last night and it's just 60F in here this morning.

Happy you figured out your new cutter Subclinical.
Good plan to use up random thread on the edges.

Gardening is so much harder when you have clay.
With sand you just need to add lots of compost and manure and mulch every year and then you have great drainage.

Hope your dreams are allowing your brain to work things out and let you relax and rest.

WAY TO GO! For your right to brag!
I remember my 6th grade graduation party.
The teachers all got together and made all the plans without ever asking any of us students.
They spent the money on a picnic lunch in a neighborhood public park with a private membership swimming pool.
None of us ever wanted to swim at that pool because they made all girls wear swim caps and it was known that some boys would watch through the windows of the girls dressing room.
The teachers were mad when us girls refused to swim and boys wouldn't swim without us girls.
When the teachers were yelling at us we all said that if they had asked us, we would have told them we wouldn't do that.
The lunch in the park was good and the teachers managed to eventually get a refund on some of the pool fees for the next year's graduating class party.
After school that day I went home and swam in my neighbors pool that they allowed me to swim in any time I wanted.

You are a GREAT Teacher asking your Students what they want or need in a class. ((((HUGS))))

Hi Tatoulia
Happy you are not over thinking about how to rehome the quilt 🙂

So glad you and Miss Kitty have each other.
Best buddies (((HUG)))

So sweet of your to have treats for Mom's people.
Little displays of appreciation go a long way.

I would never have figured out how to work that Android if Nate had not walked me through it.

Have a great day with work!

This'll just be a quick one to say hi and I'll post a more thorough update and responses later.

Things here are going well - roommate is to the day when 95% of it will be out of her system by this afternoon or so. Yesterday we socially distanced some binge watching of Dark Shadows, which was fun.

The kitties are less sanguine - grey boy again decided to get up in the wee hours and sing us the song of his people. Loudly.

This morning I did manage to haul my carcass out and go for a walk with her. The breeze was enough to keep temps down. Even though it's been awhile now since our rain, it gets muggy once the day's heat starts.

Don't know if that Sahara Desert dust cloud affects you all in your respective areas - I think some has reached here as the air looks hazy in the distance and some folks report allergy symptoms.

Covid is on the increase in my county, and given the numbers of non-mask-wearing people I've seen the last few weeks, I am so not surprised. 🙁 It's bad in Florida as well, where my cousin's immunocompromised 10-year-old boy resides. He had a knee surgery and also must have scans because a spot was found on a femur bone. If people who are selfish and don't want to wear masks cause him to get sick...

Just gotta pray that does not happen. But it makes me angry to think how selfish and clueless many are.

I'm planning more about my storage unit. If I can do the boxing of books thing (getting rid of some in the process) and just put blinders on and not worry about any other areas that need attention until I get the books done, I think I will be pleased with the results and whatever the next thing to tackle will become apparent.

This will have to be during cooler times, whether that means getting up early and just going over for an hour or whatever. I need to remember how tickled I was back when I moved to this closer storage unit, and how I anticipated it working to my advantage. Sometimes when things drag on, it's easy to forget things really ARE better than they used to be, and continue moving forward in that knowledge rather than stall out.

I'm going to pick up a few groceries and things in a bit here, being cautious of course, then I'll be back.

Glad you all like the flower and other pictures. 🙂 I love photography.

Good morning! It is the end of the quarter so it is a busy time for me at work.
That's a nice feeling, SubC, that you have a nice group of kids signed up already! And it is both your foresight in asking them what they'd like and your teaching skills that bring them to you! WTG! and yes, sometimes a little work-around the administration is needed!

Tillie I'm glad you got into my IG account. I haven't posted anything in a while. CM you do an excellent job of taking photos of flowers! Not easy to do!

We had a line of thunderstorms yesterday afternoon and into the night. Kitty kept coming over to me did comfort and I really appreciated it. I realize that at almost 16, we've been good friends for a long time.

Thanks for the help on the quilt. I am absolutely ready to let it go but got caught up in the idea of a "good home". I may reach out to my original cleaning fairy and see if she's going to be in Boston at all. If the goodwill were open I could take it there.

I'm planning to stick with the iPad. I like Apple products and my previous, 2d generation lasted a long time. The one I want is under $500. I don't need the fanciest. Someone once gave me an android tablet and for the love of God, I couldn't get the hang of it.

We bought snacks and treats for the people at my mother's house. I'll take on Friday.

Okay back to work. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Good morning.

Tatoulia,
I am sorry you're mask is making you claustrophobic. I actually find mine strangely comforting. I think I like having something to hide behind.

It sounds like you are doing really well with all the life things.

Tillie, I hope the wildfire season is not bad this year.

I grew up with sand fir soil. Learning to garden here is a lot different. The clay is the reason everything stays so wet - no drainage. And then it bakes rock hard mid summer and it is hard to pull the carrots out.

I have a little basic serger, so I will serge around the edges. I am doing some of them with two layers and some single. The edges are going to look funny because I have decided to use up a lot of my random spools of thread.

The new cutter is good. I did have some trouble at first because the blade guard keeps me from seeing the blade clearly, and I kept getting off by its width but I have figured it out.

I wish that you will find some little craft to occupy your mind.

Do you know how to make beads from paper? Perhaps you have some paper or colorful packaging that you could try that with? Or you could try cat fur felting - LOL! The New York times had a strange article on doing embroidery with your own hair.

My dreams were very strange last night. I assume my brain is doing whatever it needs to do to mend itself.

I have a little brag. Our summer program registration is up since Wednesday. I have six students for eight slots so far and the most anyone else has is two for ten. I'm sure part of it is the class, but I like to think it is also because the kids like me, and most important, because I asked them what they wanted before I offered my class. I am constantly advocating for surveying families before we do class offerings, and my boss is constantly telling me it doesn't work. (You have to pay when you register, so I expect there will be more sign ups after July 1)

Tatoulia
I kept trying different variations and got it!!!

Thank you!

YEA:)

Tatoulia
Sorry but I couldn't get it to work.
Even tried removing parts like http etc..

🙁

Good Evening
Beautiful and cool evening here with a gorgeous sunset.
Unfortunately the pretty colors are from wildfire smoke in the air.

Hi Subclinical
Thank you

WAY TO GO! for the walk and raspberries! 😀
Yeah, tipsy and drunk people are terrible about social distancing.
Outside is good but doesn't help when people touch.

With the baby wipes
do you finish the edges with a zigzag type stitch to prevent shredding?
YEA! for starting the cutting!
How do you like the new cutter?

Have a great day tomorrow glazing. 😀

Nice you have natural clay in your yard.
I have sand.
Where I live was once upon a time a massive ancient lake where ichthyosaurs used to swim.
I have even seen their fossil remains.
So this is actually just a sandy beach here with no more lake.

When there were flowers blooming in my garden I collected the wilted petals and have them in a bowl, so I have been making potpourri as a craft project.
I also harvested a lot of desert sage when it was young and tender.
Now it's mainly just keeping things hydrated and waiting for Autumn when more will be happening.

I used to have sewing projects but I have sewn them all.
The isolating closedown has kept me from getting things to use for crafting. 🙁

Hi Tatoulia
(((HUG))) yes, masks can feel so stifling.

Happy you are keeping your chins up. LOL 😀
Glad you and BF has a busy and wonderful weekend.

I have an Android tablet that constantly crashes and do not recommend the cheap ones to anyone.
Think Steven spent 10 dollars for it, new online.
Good luck finding a new good iPad.

So proud of you continuing to work on your home and finances. (((HUG)))

Just got a few rain sprinkles, I'm grateful.
I know my fears and panic is generated from Steven and his behaviors.
One reason I need crafting busywork to keep my hands busy, it helps relax me.

Hello everyone!

Tillie my Instagram is https://www.instagram.com/susie.7010.

I know that bored feeling. Also the overwhelmed one, SubC. I realized tonight that my panic is, at times, coming from my claustrophobia. Mask overwhelms me. I can't always think right.

So far I am staying as safe as I can. Frequent showers, wiping down things, distancing, etc. BF is very, very careful. So we haven't let up a bit.

I'm not up to date but I wanted to check in. I had a busy and wonderful weekend with BF. Doing what I can to keep my chins up. 😀

I'm going to buy a new iPad. My old one stopped working and the phone is too small. I don't need the latest or greatest and just WiFi is fine with me, so I'm going to see where I can budget it in. Meanwhile I am being diligent about savings and paying down that small loan. I'm proud of myself. I'm working away on it. I'm also working on better maintenance here. Really taking a look at things and improving.

Goodnight CM, SubC and Tillie. And anyone else including Joan.
