Today was the first time we have ventured out for a doctor’s appointment since Covid-19 started. A nurse greeted us in the foyer, gloved and masked, and then scanned our forehead with a no-touch thermometer. Before granting us entrance, we had to answer these questions: 1. Have you come into close contact (within 6 feet) […]
The internet has changed the way people connect. I have been watching one of my favorite knitting podcasters for several years so I feel like I know her. It’s kind of a one-sided relationship though because she can’t hear me when I talk to the screen. When I learned that she was celebrating her birthday […]
I got a lot of knitting done on my sweater today. More importantly, I tried on my sleeve and it fits properly. Our Misfits produce continues to provide joy. Today I prepared a delicious pot of curried collard greens which I served with a hardboiled egg and rice. I am celebrating the simple pleasures of […]
Today I really got to wake up and smell the coffee! I walked outside for an hour and even though I wanted to quit, I persevered. Overall, it was a mellow day in these parts. I knit with my local friends for the first time since the quarantine started. Using Google Duo, we were able […]
For quite some time I have wanted to participate in a produce CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) but belonging has never been super easy. Then Pinterest started prompting me with ads for Misfits Market. They are a subscription box company that delivers sometimes funny-looking fruits and vegetables making it easy and affordable to eat healthy. They […]
At some point during the onset of the quarantine, I started walking more than running. It gives me good opportunity to see different things. Today I found a new roadside heart. I had better rhythm today. I blogged, vacuumed, and mopped the floors. It’s amazing what a clean space does for my morale. This afternoon […]
This morning I cast on another hat. I call them crack hats because I am addicted to making them. They go sooooo fast because I hold three fingering (skinny) yarns together. Lately I have been making them with balls of scraps that were gifted to me by a friend. I plan to send her all […]
I was up early today and had quite a productive start before my usual Saturday morning meeting, held via Zoom. I do love the elimination of the commute time. I worked on my sweater again to the point I could. I’m waiting for feedback from the designer so I’m in slight holding pattern. That’s ok. […]
This might be one of the most unusual Good Fridays we have ever had. Usually, we are attending the live version of Stations of the Cross enacted by the eighth graders. This year the principal got creative and shared on YouTube. I tried to honor the day as I would have normally. I fasted and […]
Today I started and finished another charity hat. Charity knitting has been my bread and butter when I am not sweater knitting. That project has not been going well. I’m not sure if the sweater’s going to fit and that’s discouraging. I’ve invested a lot of hours on it since we started sheltering in place. […]
