IT'S BEEN AWHILE!

I haven't been here for five days.  I guess that's because not has been happening the last five days. How many days in a row can I talk about making masks?  Yep, still making them. Fortunately not in the quantity I had been. Now I do between 2 and 6 a day. I keep trying to get a ready made stack of them for future requests, but requests of 2 or 3 a day keep the shelf empty. I've worked a bit on my scrap quilt from the strips left over from the masks. Sadly I mostly seem to fritter the day away on the computer. 

I'm basically okay with being home.  I was however surprised on how excited I was when a friend came by with her husband, also a friend, to drop off some elastic for more masks. It felt like Christmas even though we only talked with her outside my lanai and myself inside it on the opposite side where she was.  

Oh, a good side benefit of this "stay at home" period is that I've video chatted with my kids three times now in the last three weeks. It's wonderful to see them when we talk even if half the time I feel like I look like a train wreck. 

I am a bit concerned that the powers that be are planning on beginning to reopen Village activities in a week and a half.  Personally I have decided that I will be staying home through at least the end of  May unless something dramatic happens.  Funny thing is the politicians are all pushing for businesses to reopen.  The health care experts are against it.  I just saw a poll that said an overwhelming portion of the population, Democrats and Republicans, feel it is too early to reopen things.  The politicians don't seem to care though.  They seem to be more worried about our economy than lives and public health. 

So those are my thought as of tonight. I have more, but I have learned that it is best I keep them to myself or at least only express them around like minded thinkers or the remaining few that still like a good discussion about what is going on in the world, our country, state and community.  To many don't want to discuss. They just seem to want to say you are wrong and don't know what you are talking about. Period--End of Discussion. So I will keep them out of here.

Tomorrow I am going to have my first experience with a Zoom meeting.  Not sure how that works but it will be nice to spend some time with sewing and crafting friends even if its over the computer. 

After that maybe some sewing that will result in a project I can show here, 

Nite!
