Pandemic plans

I have been crafting a lot lately because of this pandemic. It has refreshed and renewed my soul. I still get burned out at work but that is because I am an essential worker. Pets still get sick during a pandemic.

Some of my projects include:

    Wow Alliance Mask
  • Face mask
  • Embroidery
  • Origami
  • Crocheting

Writing Prompts

I came across this writing prompt on my pinterest page and it got me thinking if I could warn people about today's pandemic what would it be. what four words could you caution people with, more so would it even matter. I doubt we would find out this information in time because we do not live in a transparent time. We live in a time that other decide what we hear, see, even, eat. Heck we dont even have adequate access to the paper we wipe our under sides with.

Be Prepare! Stay home

Lonely

Add the holidays approach, all i want is to be near the ones i love, especially the ones I've chosen to love. It seems like i can not get enough.

I want more cuddles, more quality time, but you can not have quality time if you have no time together.  I know I'm just winning but, to even get Invites to something is better then not even bring asked to spend time with them.
